What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when encrypted must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable account-level default EBS encryption for new volumes. Migrate existing via encrypted snapshot copy. In AWS Console: EC2 > EBS > Settings > enable Default encryption. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-encryption.html
Terraform
resource "aws_ebs_volume" "{name}" {
encrypted = true
}
