What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when encryptionType must not equal EncryptionAtRestWithPlatformKey OR encrypted must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable EBS encryption to protect data at rest from storage compromise. In AWS Console: EC2 > EBS > Settings > enable Default encryption, or create encrypted snapshots for existing volumes. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-encryption.html
