Will It Vibe?RDS storage not encrypted
Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 15 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.
What it detects
storage_encrypted = false stores the database, its snapshots, and its replicas unencrypted at rest, exposing all of it if the underlying storage is accessed.
Why it matters
storage_encrypted = false stores the database volumes, automated backups, snapshots, and read replicas unencrypted at rest. Anyone who reaches the underlying storage or a snapshot copy can read the full dataset. Encryption at rest is a baseline control for any database holding real data.
How to fix it
Set storage_encrypted = true and supply a kms_key_id for a customer-managed key where you want auditable access control. Encryption cannot be toggled on an existing instance in place, so create an encrypted snapshot copy and restore into a new encrypted instance. Enable it from the start on every new database.
