Amazon Web Services Integration Guide

This guide has been created to help you connect your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account to the OneClickComply platform.

Note: You must have fully completed the steps outlined in the 'Creating an IAM user within AWS' guide before reading this article, otherwise you will be unable to connect the two platforms. If you are experiencing difficultly creating an IAM user within AWS, please reach out to a member of our support team.

Integrating your AWS environment to OneClickComply

Please follow the steps outlined below to connect your Amazon Web Services environment to the OneClickComply platform.

1. Once you have created the necessary IAM user with the required permissions, re-open the user and navigate to the Access Keys section.

2. This new account should have zero access keys associated with it. Select the Create access key button and select the option for Third-party service.

3. Click Next.

4. (Optional) Assign a short description for this access key. It can even be as simple as 'OneClickComply Access Key.'

5. Click Create Access Key

6. Note. Please keep following page, Retrieve Access Keys, open, as you will need both your Access Key and your Secret Access Key for the integration process.

7. Open the OneClickComply platform and select the Integrations tab from the navigation bar on the right-hand side.

8. Click Add on the Amazon Web Services integration.

9. Once on this new screen, select Add Connection to begin connecting your AWS environment to the platform

10. From here, follow the set-up guide within the platform which will explain how to connect your AWS environment to the platform. Note: You will need to copy your newly created Access key and Secret access key into their respective sections.

11. Once both keys are added, click the Submit button to finish the integration process.

12. Once all these steps are completed, the OneClickComply platform will have successfully paired with AWS. The platform will then begin automatically scanning your environment for gaps and misconfigurations in-line with the standards you have access to as part of your subscription package.

13. To view these misconfigurations, navigate to Standards, located within the Compliance tab.

14. Edit the status of the standards you wish to work towards, and set them to Active. This will cause any identified misconfigurations or gaps to appear within the Controls Management area.
