Deleting a custom framework in AWS Audit Manager

When you no longer need a custom framework, you can delete it from your Audit Manager environment. This enables you to clean up your workspace and focus on the custom frameworks that are relevant to your current tasks and priorities.

Prerequisites

The following procedure assumes that you have previously created a custom framework.

Make sure your IAM identity has appropriate permissions to delete a custom framework in AWS Audit Manager. Two suggested policies that grant these permissions are AWSAuditManagerAdministratorAccess and Allow users management access to AWS Audit Manager.

Procedure

You can delete custom frameworks using the Audit Manager console, the Audit Manager API, or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

Note

Deleting a custom framework doesn't affect any existing assessments that were created from the framework before it was deleted.

Audit Manager console
To delete a custom framework on the Audit Manager console

  1. Open the AWS Audit Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/auditmanager/home.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Framework library and then choose the Custom frameworks tab.

  3. Select the framework that you want to delete, choose Actions, and then choose Delete.

    • Alternatively, you can open a custom framework and choose Actions, Delete at the top right of the framework summary page.

  4. In the pop-up window, choose Delete to confirm deletion.

AWS CLI
To delete a custom framework in the AWS CLI

  1. First, identify the custom framework that you want to delete. To do this, run the list-assessment-frameworks command and specify the --framework-type as Custom.

     aws auditmanager list-assessment-frameworks --framework-type Custom

    The response returns a list of custom frameworks. Find the custom framework that you want to delete, and take note of the framework ID.

  2. Next, run the delete-assessment-framework command and specify the --framework-id of the framework that you want to delete.

    In the following example, replace the placeholder text with your own information.

    aws auditmanager delete-assessment-framework --framework-id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111
Audit Manager API
To delete a custom framework using the API

  1. Use the ListAssessmentFrameworks operation and specify the frameworkType as Custom. From the response, find the custom framework that you want to delete, and take note of the framework ID.

  2. Use the DeleteAssessmentFramework operation to delete the framework. In the request, use the frameworkId parameter to specify the framework that you want to delete.
