Description

Enabling server-side encryption (SSE) on S3 buckets at the object level protects data at rest and helps prevent the breach of sensitive information assets. Objects can be encrypted with S3 Managed Keys (SSE-S3), KMS Managed Keys (SSE-KMS), or Customer Provided Keys (SSE-C).

How to fix?

In the aws_s3_bucket, define a rule in the server_side_encryption_configuration block.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_kms_key" "mykey" {
  # other required fields here
}
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "bucket" {
  server_side_encryption_configuration {
    rule {
      apply_server_side_encryption_by_default {
        kms_master_key_id = "${aws_kms_key.mykey.arn}"
        sse_algorithm     = "aws:kms"
      }
    }
  }
  # other required fields here
}
