03 - NACL Outbound Traffic

Ensure each VPC NACL does not allow all traffic outbound

Ensure that your VPCs Network Access Control List (NACLs) do not allow outbound traffic on all ports. This helps implement the policy of least privilege and is considered a security best practice and should always be done. Ensuring this is enabled will help with NIST and PCI-DSS compliance.
