Operational Best Practices for NZISM 3.9 (Foundation)

Conformance packs provide a general-purpose compliance framework designed to enable you to create security, operational or cost-optimization governance checks using managed or custom AWS Config rules and AWS Config remediation actions. Conformance Packs, as sample templates, are not designed to fully ensure compliance with a specific governance or compliance standard. You are responsible for making your own assessment of whether your use of the Services meets applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The following provides a sample mapping between the New Zealand Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) Information Security Manual (NZISM) 2025-11 Version 3.9 and AWS Managed Config rules. Each Config rule applies to a specific AWS resource type, and relates to one or more NZISM controls. An NZISM control can be related to multiple Config rules. Refer to the table below for more detail and guidance related to these mappings. Only controls representing recommended or baseline practice for information classified RESTRICTED and below are included in the mappings.

This sample conformance pack template contains mappings to controls within the NZISM framework, which is an integral part of the Protective Security Requirements (PSR) framework that sets out the New Zealand Government’s expectations for the management of personnel, information and physical security.

The Foundation part of this conformance pack can be deployed to the Sydney and global regions. The NZ Transition part contains the subset of Foundation Config rules that are currently available in the New Zealand region. The Foundation part will not currently deploy to the New Zealand region. The Extension part of this conformance pack can be deployed to the Sydney and New Zealand regions in order to augment the Config rules provided in the Foundation and NZ Transition parts.

Control ID	Control Description	AWS Config Rule	Guidance
1149	Software security, Standard Operating Environments, Developing hardened SOEs (14.1.8.C.01.)	ec2-instance-managed-by-systems-manager	An inventory of the software platforms and applications within the organization is possible by managing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances with AWS Systems Manager. Use AWS Systems Manager to provide detailed system configurations, operating system patch levels, services name and type, software installations, application name, publisher and version, and other details about your environment.
1149	Software security, Standard Operating Environments, Developing hardened SOEs (14.1.8.C.01.)	ec2-managedinstance-association-compliance-status-check	Use AWS Systems Manager Associations to help with inventory of software platforms and applications within an organization. AWS Systems Manager assigns a configuration state to your managed instances and allows you to set baselines of operating system patch levels, software installations, application configurations, and other details about your environment.
1149	Software security, Standard Operating Environments, Developing hardened SOEs (14.1.8.C.01.)	ecs-containers-nonprivileged	This control checks if the privileged parameter in the container definition of Amazon ECS Task Definitions is set to true. The control fails if this parameter is equal to true. This control only evaluates the latest active revision of an Amazon ECS task definition. We recommend that you remove elevated privileges from your ECS task definitions. When the privilege parameter is true, the container is given elevated privileges on the host container instance (similar to the root user).
1149	Software security, Standard Operating Environments, Developing hardened SOEs (14.1.8.C.01.)	ecs-containers-readonly-access	This control checks if Amazon ECS containers are limited to read-only access to mounted root filesystems. This control fails if the ReadonlyRootFilesystem parameter in the container definition of Amazon ECS task definitions is set to false. This control only evaluates the latest active revision of an Amazon ECS task definition. Enabling this option reduces security attack vectors since the container instance's filesystem cannot be tampered with or written to unless it has explicit read-write permissions on its filesystem folder and directories. This control also adheres to the principle of least privilege.
1154	Information Security Incidents, Detecting Information Security Incidents, Preventing and detecting information security incidents (7.1.7.C.02.)	guardduty-runtime-monitoring-enabled	This control checks if Runtime Monitoring is enabled for Amazon GuardDuty in your account or organization.

1661	Software security, Web Application Development, Agency website content (14.5.6.C.01.)	cloudfront-default-root-object-configured	This control checks whether an Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured to return a specific object, that is the default root object. The control fails if the CloudFront distribution does not have a default root object configured. A user might sometimes request the distribution's root URL instead of an object in the distribution. When this happens, specifying a default root object can help you to avoid exposing the contents of your web distribution. This rule must be applied in the us-east-1 region. Deploy with template parameter DeployEdgeRules = true.
1667	Software security, Web Application Development, Web applications (14.5.8.C.01.)	acm-certificate-expiration-check	Ensure network integrity is protected by ensuring X509 certificates are issued by AWS ACM. These certificates must be valid and unexpired. This rule requires a value for daysToExpiration. The value is 90 days.
1667	Software security, Web Application Development, Web applications (14.5.8.C.01.)	elb-tls-https-listeners-only	Ensure that your Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) are configured with SSL or HTTPS listeners. Because sensitive data can exist, enable encryption in transit to help protect that data.
1841	Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Methods for system user identification and authentication (16.1.35.C.02.)	iam-user-mfa-enabled	Enable this rule to restrict access to resources in the AWS Cloud.

1847	Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Protecting authentication data in transit (16.1.37.C.01.)	cloudfront-viewer-policy-https	This control checks whether an Amazon CloudFront distribution requires viewers to use HTTPS directly or whether it uses redirection. The control fails if ViewerProtocolPolicy is set to allow-all for defaultCacheBehavior or for cacheBehaviors. HTTPS (TLS) can be used to help prevent potential attackers from using person-in-the-middle or similar attacks to eavesdrop on or manipulate network traffic. Only encrypted connections over HTTPS (TLS) should be allowed. This rule must be applied in the us-east-1 region. Deploy with template parameter DeployEdgeRules = true.
1847	Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Protecting authentication data in transit (16.1.37.C.01.)	elasticsearch-node-to-node-encryption-check	This control checks whether Elasticsearch domains have node-to-node encryption enabled. This control fails if node-to-node encryption is disabled on the domain. HTTPS (TLS) can be used to help prevent potential attackers from eavesdropping on or manipulating network traffic using person-in-the-middle or similar attacks. Only encrypted connections over HTTPS (TLS) should be allowed. Enabling node-to-node encryption for Elasticsearch domains ensures that intra-cluster communications are encrypted in transit.
1847	Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Protecting authentication data in transit (16.1.37.C.01.)	elb-tls-https-listeners-only	Ensure that your Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) are configured with SSL or HTTPS listeners.

This control fails if node-to-node encryption is disabled on the domain. HTTPS (TLS) can be used to help prevent potential attackers from eavesdropping on or manipulating network traffic using person-in-the-middle or similar attacks. Only encrypted connections over HTTPS (TLS) should be allowed. Enabling node-to-node encryption for OpenSearch domains ensures that intra-cluster communications are encrypted in transit.
1893	Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Suspension of access (16.1.46.C.02.)	iam-user-unused-credentials-check	AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) can help you with access permissions and authorizations by checking for IAM passwords and access keys that are not used for a specified time period. If these unused credentials are identified, you should disable and/or remove the credentials, as this may violate the principle of least privilege. This rule sets maxCredentialUsageAge to 30 days.
1946	Access Control and Passwords, Privileged User Access, Use of privileged accounts (16.3.5.C.02.)	iam-policy-no-statements-with-admin-access	AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) can help you incorporate the principles of least privilege and separation of duties with access permissions and authorizations, restricting policies from containing "Effect": "Allow" with "Action": "" over "Resource": "". Allowing users to have more privileges than needed to complete a task may violate the principle of least privilege and separation of duties.
1946	Access Control and Passwords, Privileged User Access, Use of privileged accounts (16.3.5.C.02.)	iam-root-access-key-check	Access to systems and assets can be controlled by checking that the root user does not have access keys attached to their AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. Ensure that the root access keys are deleted. Instead, create and use role-based AWS accounts to help to incorporate the principle of least functionality.
1998	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Maintaining system management logs (16.6.6.C.02.)	cloud-trail-cloud-watch-logs-enabled	You should configure CloudTrail with CloudWatch Logs to monitor your trail logs and be notified when specific activity occurs.

Details of captured data are seen within AWS CloudTrail Record Contents.
1998	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Maintaining system management logs (16.6.6.C.02.)	cw-loggroup-retention-period-check	Ensure a minimum duration of event log data is retained for your log groups to help with troubleshooting and forensics investigations. The lack of available past event log data makes it difficult to reconstruct and identify potentially malicious events. The minimum retention is 18 months.
2013	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Additional events to be logged (16.6.10.C.02.)	api-gw-execution-logging-enabled	API Gateway logging displays detailed views of users who accessed the API and the way they accessed the API. This insight enables visibility of user activities.
2013	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Additional events to be logged (16.6.10.C.02.)	cloudfront-accesslogs-enabled	This control checks whether server access logging is enabled on CloudFront distributions. The control fails if access logging is not enabled for a distribution. CloudFront access logs provide detailed information about every user request that CloudFront receives. Each log contains information such as the date and time the request was received, the IP address of the viewer that made the request, the source of the request, and the port number of the request from the viewer. These logs are useful for applications such as security and access audits and forensics investigation. This rule must be applied in the us-east-1 region. Deploy with template parameter DeployEdgeRules = true
2013	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Additional events to be logged (16.6.10.C.02.)	cloudtrail-enabled	AWS CloudTrail can help in non-repudiation by recording AWS Management Console actions and API calls.

Ensure ELB logging is enabled. The collected data provides detailed information about requests sent to the ELB. Each log contains information such as the time the request was received, the client's IP address, latencies, request paths, and server responses.
2013	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Additional events to be logged (16.6.10.C.02.)	rds-logging-enabled	To help with logging and monitoring within your environment, ensure Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) logging is enabled. With Amazon RDS logging, you can capture events such as connections, disconnections, queries, or tables queried.
2013	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Additional events to be logged (16.6.10.C.02.)	wafv2-logging-enabled	To help with logging and monitoring within your environment, enable AWS WAF (V2) logging on regional and global web ACLs. AWS WAF logging provides detailed information about the traffic that is analyzed by your web ACL. The logs record the time that AWS WAF received the request from your AWS resource, information about the request, and an action for the rule that each request matched.
2022	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Event log protection (16.6.12.C.01.)	cloud-trail-log-file-validation-enabled	Utilize AWS CloudTrail log file validation to check the integrity of CloudTrail logs. Log file validation helps determine if a log file was modified or deleted or unchanged after CloudTrail delivered it. This feature is built using industry standard algorithms: SHA-256 for hashing and SHA-256 with RSA for digital signing. This makes it computationally infeasible to modify, delete or forge CloudTrail log files without detection.
2022	Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Event log protection (16.6.12.C.01.)	cloudwatch-log-group-encrypted	To help protect sensitive data at rest, ensure encryption is enabled for your Amazon CloudWatch Log Groups.

2090	Cryptography, Cryptographic Fundamentals, Information and Systems Protection (17.1.55.C.02.)	redshift-require-tls-ssl	Ensure that your Amazon Redshift clusters require TLS/SSL encryption to connect to SQL clients. Because sensitive data can exist, enable encryption in transit to help protect that data.
2598	Cryptography, Transport Layer Security, Using TLS (17.4.16.C.01.)	elb-custom-security-policy-ssl-check	To help protect data in transit, ensure that your Classic ElasticLoadBalancer SSL listeners are using a custom security policy. These policies can provide various high-strength cryptographic algorithms to help ensure encrypted network communications between systems. This rule requires that you set a custom security policy for your SSL listeners. The security policy is: Protocol-TLSv1.2,ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256.
2600	Cryptography, Transport Layer Security, Using TLS (17.4.16.C.02.)	elb-custom-security-policy-ssl-check	To help protect data in transit, ensure that your Classic ElasticLoadBalancer SSL listeners are using a custom security policy. These policies can provide various high-strength cryptographic algorithms to help ensure encrypted network communications between systems. This rule requires that you set a custom security policy for your SSL listeners. The default security policy is: Protocol-TLSv1.2,ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256.
2726	Cryptography, Secure Shell, Automated remote access (17.5.8.C.02.)	restricted-ssh	Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Security Groups can help manage network access by providing stateful filtering of ingress and egress network traffic to AWS resources. Not allowing ingress (or remote) traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 to port 22 on your resources help you restricting remote access.
3021	Cryptography, Key Management, Contents of KMPs (17.9.25.C.01.)	cmk-backing-key-rotation-enabled	Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) enables customers to rotate the backing key, which is key material stored in AWS KMS and is tied to the key ID of the customer managed key (CMK). It's the backing key that is used to perform cryptographic operations such as encryption and decryption. Automated key rotation currently retains all previous backing keys so that decryption of encrypted data can take place transparently. Rotating encryption keys helps reduce the potential impact of a compromised key because data encrypted with a new key can't be accessed with a previous key that might have been exposed.
3205	Network security, Network Management, Limiting network access (18.1.13.C.02.)	vpc-sg-open-only-to-authorized-ports	Manage access to resources in the AWS Cloud by ensuring common ports are restricted on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Security Groups. Not restricting access on ports to trusted sources can lead to attacks against the availability, integrity and confidentiality of systems. By restricting access to resources within a security group from the internet (0.0.0.0/0) remote access can be controlled to internal systems. The authorized Internet port list is: 443 only
3449	Product Security, Product Patching and Updating, Patching vulnerabilities in products (12.4.4.C.02.)	ec2-managedinstance-patch-compliance-status-check	Enable rule to help with identification and documentation of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) vulnerabilities.

3562	Gateway security, Gateways, Configuration of gateways (19.1.12.C.01.)	ec2-instances-in-vpc	Deploy Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to enable secure communication between an instance and other services within the Amazon VPC, without requiring an internet gateway, NAT device, or VPN connection. All traffic remains securely within the AWS Cloud. Because of their logical isolation, domains that reside within an Amazon VPC have an extra layer of security when compared to domains that use public endpoints. Assign Amazon EC2 instances to an Amazon VPC to properly manage access.
3562	Gateway security, Gateways, Configuration of gateways (19.1.12.C.01.)	elasticsearch-in-vpc-only	This control checks whether Elasticsearch domains are in a virtual private cloud (VPC). It does not evaluate the VPC subnet routing configuration to determine public access. You should ensure that Elasticsearch domains are not attached to public subnets. Elasticsearch domains deployed within a VPC can communicate with VPC resources over the private AWS network, without the need to traverse the public internet. This configuration increases the security posture by limiting access to the data in transit. VPCs provide a number of network controls to secure access to Elasticsearch domains, including network ACL and security groups
3562	Gateway security, Gateways, Configuration of gateways (19.1.12.C.01.)	emr-master-no-public-ip	Manage access to the AWS Cloud by ensuring Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) cluster master nodes cannot be publicly accessed.

7466	Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.)	ssm-document-not-public	Ensure AWS Systems Manager (SSM) documents are not public, as this may allow unintended access to your SSM documents. A public SSM document can expose information about your account, resources and internal processes.
7466	Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.)	vpc-default-security-group-closed	Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) security groups can help in the management of network access by providing stateful filtering of ingress and egress network traffic to AWS resources. Restricting all the traffic on the default security group helps in restricting remote access to your AWS resources.
7466	Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.)	vpc-flow-logs-enabled	The virtual private cloud (VPC) flow logs provide detailed records for information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). By default, the flow log record includes values for the different components of the IP flow, including the source, destination, and protocol.
7496	Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.)	api-gw-execution-logging-enabled	API Gateway logging displays detailed views of users who accessed the API and the way they accessed the API. This insight enables visibility of user activities.
7496	Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.)	cloud-trail-log-file-validation-enabled	Utilize AWS CloudTrail log file validation to check the integrity of CloudTrail logs. Log file validation helps determine if a log file was modified or deleted or unchanged after CloudTrail delivered it. This feature is built using industry standard algorithms: SHA-256 for hashing and SHA-256 with RSA for digital signing. This makes it computationally infeasible to modify, delete or forge CloudTrail log files without detection.
7496	Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.)	cloudfront-accesslogs-enabled	This control checks whether server access logging is enabled on CloudFront distributions. The control fails if access logging is not enabled for a distribution. CloudFront access logs provide detailed information about every user request that CloudFront receives. Each log contains information such as the date and time the request was received, the IP address of the viewer that made the request, the source of the request, and the port number of the request from the viewer. These logs are useful for applications such as security and access audits and forensics investigation. This rule must be applied in the us-east-1 region.
