This rule specifically focuses on enabling AWS Security Hub for an AWS account to align with the security requirements outlined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Cyber Essentials framework. Compliance with CISA Cyber Essentials ensures that the AWS account meets fundamental cybersecurity practices.

• If AWS Security Hub is already enabled, validate that the service is functioning properly by checking the dashboard for any active findings and compliance status.
