What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when rootVolumeEncryptionEnabled 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 to protect stored data from media compromise. In AWS Console: Resource > Encryption > enable encryption at rest. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/encryption-best-practices/welcome.html
Terraform
resource "aws_workspaces_workspace" "{name}" {
root_volume_encryption_enabled = true
volume_encryption_key = aws_kms_key.{name}.arn
}
