A Terraform module that configures AWS accounts with security baseline settings based on CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations v1.4.0 and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices v1.0.0. The module implements identity and access management controls including IAM password policies, support incident handling roles, AWS Config rules for root account auditing, IAM Access Analyzer enablement across regions, and S3 account-level public access blocking. For logging and monitoring, it enables CloudTrail across all regions with CloudWatch Logs delivery, object-level logging for S3 buckets, CloudTrail Insights event logging, and KMS encryption for CloudTrail logs. All logs are stored in S3 buckets with access logging enabled and automatic archival to Amazon Glacier after a configurable period (default 90 days). The module sets up CloudWatch alarms for critical AWS account changes and enables AWS Config to monitor and enforce compliance with AWS security best practices. It provides automated infrastructure-as-code deployment of security configurations to establish a secure foundation for AWS environments.
