Operational Best Practices for NZISM 3.9 (NZ Transition)
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
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1661 | Software security, Web Application Development, Agency website content (14.5.6.C.01.) | 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.) | 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 30 days. | |
| 1667 | Software security, Web Application Development, Web applications (14.5.8.C.01.) | 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. | |
| 1847 | Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Protecting authentication data in transit (16.1.37.C.01.) | To help protect data in transit, ensure that your Application Load Balancer automatically redirects unencrypted HTTP requests to HTTPS. Because sensitive data can exist, enable encryption in transit to help protect that data. | |
| 1847 | Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Passwords, Protecting authentication data in transit (16.1.37.C.01.) | 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.) | 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.) | 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. | |
| 1998 | Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Maintaining system management logs (16.6.6.C.02.) | You should configure CloudTrail with CloudWatch Logs to monitor your trail logs and be notified when specific activity occurs. This rule checks whether AWS CloudTrail trails are configured to send logs to Amazon CloudWatch logs. | |
| 1998 | Access Control and Passwords, Event Logging and Auditing, Maintaining system management logs (16.6.6.C.02.) | AWS CloudTrail can help in non-repudiation by recording AWS Management Console actions and API calls. You can identify the users and AWS accounts that called an AWS service, the source IP address where the calls generated, and the timings of the calls. 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.) | 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.) | 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.) | AWS CloudTrail can help in non-repudiation by recording AWS Management Console actions and API calls.

| 2598 | Cryptography, Transport Layer Security, Using TLS (17.4.16.C.01.) | 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-AES256-GCM-SHA384. | |
| 2600 | Cryptography, Transport Layer Security, Using TLS (17.4.16.C.02.) | 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-AES256-GCM-SHA384. | |
| 2726 | Cryptography, Secure Shell, Automated remote access (17.5.8.C.02.) | 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.) | 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 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.) | 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.) | This rule ensures that Amazon Redshift clusters have the preferred settings for your organization.

| 4849 | Enterprise systems security, Cloud Computing, Backup, Recovery Archiving and Data Remanence (22.1.26.C.01.) | Enable this rule to check that information has been backed up. It also maintains the backups by ensuring that point-in-time recovery is enabled in Amazon DynamoDB. The recovery maintains continuous backups of your table for the last 35 days. | |
| 4849 | Enterprise systems security, Cloud Computing, Backup, Recovery Archiving and Data Remanence (22.1.26.C.01.) | When automatic backups are enabled, Amazon ElastiCache creates a backup of the cluster on a daily basis. The backup can be retained for a number of days as specified by your organization. Automatic backups can help guard against data loss. If a failure occurs, you can create a new cluster, which restores your data from the most recent backup. | |
| 4849 | Enterprise systems security, Cloud Computing, Backup, Recovery Archiving and Data Remanence (22.1.26.C.01.) | Ensure Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances have deletion protection enabled. Use deletion protection to prevent your RDS instances from being accidentally or maliciously deleted, which can lead to loss of availability for your applications. | |
| 4849 | Enterprise systems security, Cloud Computing, Backup, Recovery Archiving and Data Remanence (22.1.26.C.01.) | Ensure Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instances have deletion protection enabled. Use deletion protection to prevent your Amazon RDS instances from being accidentally or maliciously deleted, which can lead to loss of availability for your applications. | |
| 4849 | Enterprise systems security, Cloud Computing, Backup, Recovery Archiving and Data Remanence (22.1.26.C.01.) | To help with data back-up processes, ensure your Amazon Redshift clusters have automated snapshots. When automated snapshots are enabled for a cluster, Redshift periodically takes snapshots of that cluster. By default, Redshift takes a snapshot every eight hours or every 5 GB per node of data changes, or whichever comes first. | |
| 6860 | Access Control and Passwords, Privileged Access Management, Monitoring and Review (16.4.35.C.02.) | You should configure CloudTrail with CloudWatch Logs to monitor your trail logs and be notified when specific activity occurs. This rule checks whether AWS CloudTrail trails are configured to send logs to Amazon CloudWatch logs. | |
| 6860 | Access Control and Passwords, Privileged Access Management, Monitoring and Review (16.4.35.C.02.) | AWS CloudTrail can help in non-repudiation by recording AWS Management Console actions and API calls. You can identify the users and AWS accounts that called an AWS service, the source IP address where the calls generated, and the timings of the calls. Details of captured data are seen within AWS CloudTrail Record Contents. | |
| 6861 | Access Control and Passwords, Privileged Access Management, Monitoring and Review (16.4.35.C.03.) | This rule helps ensure the use of AWS recommended security best practices for AWS CloudTrail, by checking for the enablement of multiple settings. These include the use of log encryption, log validation, and enabling AWS CloudTrail in multiple regions. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Manage access to the AWS Cloud by ensuring AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) replication instances cannot be publicly accessed. DMS replication instances can contain sensitive information and access control is required for such accounts. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Ensure the Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) method is enabled to help protect access and control of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance metadata. The IMDSv2 method uses session-based controls. With IMDSv2, controls can be implemented to restrict changes to instance metadata. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Manage access to the AWS Cloud by ensuring Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances cannot be publicly accessed. Amazon EC2 instances can contain sensitive information and access control is required for such accounts. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | 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. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | 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 | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Manage access to resources in the AWS Cloud by ensuring that Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instances are not public. Amazon RDS database instances can contain sensitive information, and principles and access control is required for such accounts. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Manage access to resources in the AWS Cloud by ensuring that Amazon Redshift clusters are not public. Amazon Redshift clusters can contain sensitive information and principles and access control is required for such accounts. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | Manage access to resources in the AWS Cloud by ensuring that Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets cannot be publicly accessed. This rule helps keeping sensitive data safe from unauthorized remote users by preventing public access. This rule sets ignorePublicAcls to TRUE, blockPublicPolicy to TRUE, blockPublicAcls to TRUE, and restrictPublicBuckets to TRUE. | |
| 7466 | Public Cloud Security, Data Protection in Public Cloud, Data accessibility (23.4.10.C.01.) | 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.) | 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.) | 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 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.) | 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.) | 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. | |
| 7496 | Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.) | AWS CloudTrail can help in non-repudiation by recording AWS Management Console actions and API calls. You can identify the users and AWS accounts that called an AWS service, the source IP address where the calls generated, and the timings of the calls. Details of captured data are seen within AWS CloudTrail Record Contents. | |
| 7496 | Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.) | To help protect sensitive data at rest, ensure encryption is enabled for your Amazon CloudWatch Log Groups. | |
| 7496 | Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.) | Elastic Load Balancing activity is a central point of communication within an environment. 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. | |
| 7496 | Public Cloud Security, Logging and Alerting in Public Cloud, Logging requirements (23.5.11.C.01.) | To help with logging and monitoring within your environment, ensure Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) logging is enabled. With Amazon RDS logging, you can capture events such as connections, disconnections, queries, or tables queried. | |
| 7545 | Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Authentication, Passwords and policy (16.1.31.C.02.) | Annual password changes are required on systems that have not implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) or passwordless authentication. Because this conformance pack contains the iam-user-mfa-enabled Config Rule, this control ensures password changes every three years. | |
| 7546 | Access Control and Passwords, Identification, Authentication and Authentication, Passwords and policy (16.1.31.C.03.) | Ensure a minimum password length of 16 characters (e.g four words). Passwords must be long, strong and unique. No explicit complexity requirements are enforced (e.g. numbers or special characters), however passwords must be unique, or random and may include special characters and numbers to achieve this. |
