HIPAA Security - Implement dynamodb-in-backup-plan config rule

[dontirun]

Summary

As a developer

I would like to implement the dynamodb-in-backup-plan config rule

So that I can check if qualified resources in my CDK app conforms to the following HIPAA Security control(s): 164.308(a)(7)(i), 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(B)

Details

ruleId: HIPAA.Security-DynamoDBInBackupPlan

info: The DynamoDB table is not in a backup plan - (Control IDs: 164.308(a)(7)(i), 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(A), 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(B))

Given Reason: To help with data back-up processes, ensure your Amazon DynamoDB tables are a part of an AWS Backup plan. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service with a policy-based backup solution. This solution simplifies your backup management and enables you to meet your business and regulatory backup compliance requirements.

Acceptance Criteria

Given a CDK app with a compliant resource

• When HIPAA Security Pack is enabled
• Then the CDK stack deploys and the user does not receive an ERROR about the compliant resource
