Enable AWS Security Hub Rule

Rule/Policy Description: Enable AWS Security Hub for an AWS Account for FedRAMP Low Revision 4

Troubleshooting Steps:

2. 1.

   Confirm AWS account eligibility: Ensure that the AWS account you are using is eligible for enabling AWS Security Hub. Some older accounts or regions might not support the Security Hub service, so you may need to create a new AWS account or contact AWS support for assistance.

4. 2.

   Verify permissions: Check if your IAM user or role has the necessary permissions to enable AWS Security Hub. They should have the

   securityhub:EnableSecurityHub

   permission.

6. 3.

   Check service role: Ensure that the AWS Security Hub service role exists in your account. If it doesn't exist, create a new service role with the required permissions using AWS IAM.

8. 4.

   Review Service Quotas: Verify that your AWS account has not reached any service quotas related to AWS Security Hub. If you exceed any quota limits, you will need to request a quota increase from AWS Support.

10. 5.

    Review CloudFormation stack constraints: If you are using CloudFormation to manage your resources, check if any stack constraints are affecting the creation of AWS Security Hub. Review the stack resources and template configurations to ensure they are compatible with Security Hub.

12. 6.

    Review AWS CLI and API settings: If you are using AWS CLI or AWS SDKs to enable Security Hub, make sure your API settings are correct. Verify that you are using the correct region and account credentials configured for your AWS CLI or SDK.

14. 7.

    Troubleshoot resource-specific issues: If you encounter issues with specific resources (such as S3 buckets, EC2 instances, or AWS Config), ensure that those resources are properly configured and accessible by Security Hub.
