What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when kmsKeyId must be set true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Configure customer-managed keys for full control over encryption key lifecycle and audit trail. In AWS Console: Resource > Encryption > select Customer-managed key. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/concepts.html
Terraform
resource "aws_cloudwatch_log_group" "{name}" {
kms_key_id = aws_kms_key.{name}.arn
}
