Detect Whether MFA is Enabled for AWS IAM Users
This control detects whether MFA is enabled for AWS IAM users. You can protect your account by requiring MFA for all AWS users in the account. MFA requires an additional authentication code after the user name and password are successful. This control does not change the status of the account. This is a detective control with elective guidance. By default, this control is not enabled.
The artifact for this control is the following AWS Config rule.

The rule is COMPLIANT if MFA is enabled. Source: Owner: AWS SourceIdentifier: IAM_USER_MFA_ENABLED MaximumExecutionFrequency: !FindInMap - Settings - FrequencyMap - !Ref MaximumExecutionFrequency
Detect Whether MFA is Enabled for AWS IAM Users of the AWS Console
Protects your account by requiring MFA for all AWS IAM users in the console. MFA reduces vulnerability risks from weak authentication by requiring an additional authentication code after the user name and password are successful. This control detects whether MFA is enabled. This control does not change the status of the account. This is a detective control with elective guidance. By default, this control is not enabled.
The artifact for this control is the following AWS Config rule.
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09 Description: Configure AWS Config rules to check whether MFA is enabled for all AWS IAM users that use a console password. Parameters: ConfigRuleName: Type: 'String' Description: 'Name for the Config rule' MaximumExecutionFrequency: Type: String Default: 1hour Description: The frequency that you want AWS Config to run evaluations for the rule. AllowedValues: - 1hour - 3hours - 6hours - 12hours - 24hours Mappings: Settings: FrequencyMap: 1hour : One_Hour 3hours : Three_Hours 6hours : Six_Hours 12hours : Twelve_Hours 24hours : TwentyFour_Hours Resources: CheckForIAMUserConsoleMFA: Type: AWS::Config::ConfigRule Properties: ConfigRuleName: !Sub ${ConfigRuleName} Description: Checks whether AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled for all AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users that use a console password. The rule is COMPLIANT if MFA is enabled.

Detect Whether Versioning for Amazon S3 Buckets is Enabled
Detects whether your Amazon S3 buckets are enabled for versioning. Versioning allows you to recover objects from accidental deletion or overwrite. This control does not change the status of the account. This is a detective control with elective guidance. By default, this control is not enabled.
The artifact for this control is the following AWS Config rule.
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09 Description: Configure AWS Config rules to check whether versioning is enabled for your S3 buckets. Parameters: ConfigRuleName: Type: 'String' Description: 'Name for the Config rule' Resources: CheckForS3VersioningEnabled: Type: AWS::Config::ConfigRule Properties: ConfigRuleName: !Sub ${ConfigRuleName} Description: Checks whether versioning is enabled for your S3 buckets.
