KMS key scheduled for deletion
CRITICALWhat's the problem
A customer managed KMS key is in its deletion waiting period. Once deleted, any data still encrypted under it can never be decrypted. Deletion can still be cancelled before the date
How 6WAF detects it
- Deterministic checks through AWS API calls (IAM, S3, EC2/VPC, CloudTrail, KMS, Secrets Manager, ACM, detection services) — no LLM is used for detection; severity is the value the scanner assigns, shown above.
- Scanning uses an IAM Role you deploy yourself via CloudFormation; 6WAF stores no credentials and you revoke access any time by deleting the stack.
- Automated scoring covers only part of the scope of standards such as ISO 27001 — this is a technical assessment, not a certification.
Pillar: Security — Fast Scan
Group: Data protection (S3, EBS, KMS, ACM, snapshots, AMIs)
Reference standard: AWS Security Hub KMS.3
