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 Center for Internet Security (CIS) Amazon Web Services Foundation v1.4 Level 1 and AWS managed Config rules/AWS Config Process Checks. Each Config rule applies to a specific AWS resource, and relates to one or more CIS Amazon Web Services Foundation v1.4 Level 1 controls. A CIS Amazon Web Services Foundation v1.4 Level 1 control can be related to multiple Config rules. Refer to the table below for more detail and guidance related to these mappings.
