Control: 1 OpenSearch domains should have encryption at rest enabled

Description

This control checks whether OpenSearch domains have encryption-at-rest configuration enabled. The check fails if encryption at rest is not enabled.

For an added layer of security for sensitive data, you should configure your OpenSearch Service domain to be encrypted at rest. When you configure encryption of data at rest, AWS KMS stores and manages your encryption keys. To perform the encryption, AWS KMS uses the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm with 256-bit keys (AES-256).

Remediation

By default, domains do not encrypt data at rest, and you cannot configure existing domains to use the feature. To enable the feature, you must create another domain and migrate your data.

For information about creating domains, see Creating and managing Amazon OpenSearch Service domains in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.

Encryption of data at rest requires Amazon OpenSearch 1.0 or later. For more information about encrypting data at rest for Amazon OpenSearch, see Encryption of data at rest for Amazon OpenSearch Service in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.
