What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when pointInTimeRecoveryEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Enable point-in-time recovery to restore data to any moment within the retention window. In AWS Console: DynamoDB > Tables > select table > Backups > enable PITR. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/PointInTimeRecovery.html

CLI

aws dynamodb update-continuous-backups --table-name "{name}" --point-in-time-recovery-specification PointInTimeRecoveryEnabled=true

Terraform

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "{name}" {
  point_in_time_recovery {
    enabled = true
  }
}
