Security Modules 0.75.0Last updated in version 0.71.5

GuardDuty Bucket

View Source Release Notes

This module creates an S3 bucket for storing GuardDuty findings and optionally a KMS Customer Master Key (CMK) for encrypting that data, including all the appropriate lifecycle, encryption, and permission settings for GuardDuty.

It is particularly useful when configuring cross account access, for example when it is desirable to export findings from multiple accounts and regions to a central location such as the security account.

Reference​

Required​

s3_bucket_namestringrequired

The name of the S3 Bucket where GuardDuty findings will be stored.

Optional​

Additional IAM policies to apply to this S3 bucket. You can use this to grant read/write access. This should be a map, where each key is a unique statement ID (SID), and each value is an object that contains the parameters defined in the comment above.

Any types represent complex values of variable type. For details, please consult `variables.tf` in the source repo.
{}
Example
   {
      AllIamUsersReadAccess = {
        effect     = "Allow"
        actions    = ["s3:GetObject"]
        principals = {
          AWS = ["arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/ann", "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/bob"]
        }
        condition = {
          SourceVPCCheck = {
            test = "StringEquals"
            variable = "aws:SourceVpc"
            values = ["vpc-abcd123"]
          }
        }
      }
   }

Details

   Ideally, this would be a map(object({...})), but the Terraform object type constraint doesn't support optional
   parameters, whereas IAM policy statements have many optional params. And we can't even use map(any), as the
   Terraform map type constraint requires all values to have the same type ("shape"), but as each object in the map
   may specify different optional params, this won't work either. So, sadly, we are forced to fall back to "any."

If true, an IAM Policy that grants access to the key will be honored. If false, only the ARNs listed in kms_key_user_iam_arns will have access to the key and any IAM Policy grants will be ignored. (true or false)

true
allowed_regionslist(string)optional

The AWS regions that are allowed to write to the GuardDuty findings S3 bucket. This is needed to configure the bucket and CMK policy to allow writes from manually-enabled regions. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_exportfindings.html#guardduty_exportfindings-s3-policies

[]
bucket_prefixstringoptional

Prefix directory to create in the bucket. Must contain a trailing '/'. If you use a prefix for S3 findings publishing, you must pre-create the prefix in the findings bucket. See https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/16750.

null

Whether or not to enable automatic annual rotation of the KMS key. Defaults to true.

true

A list of external AWS accounts that should be given write access for GuardDuty findings to this S3 bucket. This is useful when aggregating findings for multiple AWS accounts in one common S3 bucket.

[]
force_destroybooloptional

If set to true, when you run 'terraform destroy', delete all objects from the bucket so that the bucket can be destroyed without error. Warning: these objects are not recoverable so only use this if you're absolutely sure you want to permanently delete everything!

false
kms_key_administrator_iam_arnslist(string)optional

All GuardDuty findings will be encrypted with a KMS Key (a Customer Master Key). The IAM Users specified in this list will have rights to change who can access the data.

[]

Override KMS key alias. Defaults to s3_bucket_name.

null

If set to true, that means the KMS key you're using already exists, and does not need to be created.

false
kms_key_arnstringoptional

All GuardDuty findings will be encrypted with a KMS CMK (Customer Master Key). If that CMK already exists (e.g., if this is the stage or prod account and you want to use a CMK that already exists in the security account), set this to the ARN of that CMK. Otherwise (e.g., if this is the security account), set this to null, and a new CMK will be created.

null

    conditions = list(object({
      # Name of the IAM condition operator to evaluate.
      test = string

      # Name of a Context Variable to apply the condition to. Context variables may either be standard AWS variables
      # starting with aws: or service-specific variables prefixed with the service name.
      variable = string
