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 encryption at rest for EFS at creation time to protect file data. In AWS Console: EFS > Create file system > enable Encryption at rest. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/encryption-at-rest.html
Terraform
resource "aws_efs_file_system" "{name}" {
encrypted = true
}
