Does manual check of AWS security best practices need require AWS Support?

Hi lakshmy G

don't need permissions from AWS Support to perform a manual review of AWS best practices and CIS benchmarking for ACM, S3, VPC, ECR, and KMS.

AWS Best Practices:

• Each AWS service has its own documentation section dedicated to best practices. You can find them directly within the service documentation on the AWS website.

CIS Benchmarking:

• The Center for Internet Security (CIS) offers the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark, which outlines security best practices for various AWS services, including the ones you mentioned. You can download the benchmark document from the CIS website https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/cis-aws-foundations-benchmark.html.

AWS Config: This service allows you to automate some aspects of configuration review by setting up rules that check your resources against best practices https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/
