What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when encryptionKeyArn must be set true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Configure KMS encryption for the Backup vault to protect backup data at rest. In AWS Console: AWS Backup > Backup vaults > select vault > configure encryption with KMS key. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/encryption.html
Terraform
resource "aws_backup_vault" "{name}" {
name = "{name}"
kms_key_arn = aws_kms_key.{name}.arn
}
