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.
Please follow the steps outlined below to connect your Amazon Web Services environment to the OneClickComply platform.
Once you have created the necessary IAM user with the required permissions, navigate to the Access Key tab within the IAM user area.
This new account should have zero access keys associated with it. Click Create access key and follow the steps to create a new access key linked to this account.
After the access key has been created, you will now need to access the OneClickComply platform.
Navigate to the Integrations tab, then select Marketplace.
5. Then click Add on the AWS integration.
Once on this new screen, select Add Connection to begin connecting your AWS environment to the platform
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 into the platform in order to establish the connection.
Once all these steps are completed, the OneClickComply platform will have successfully paired with AWS, and will begin scanning for compliance gaps and misconfigurations. This process can take up to an hour due to the number of checks taking place, but once completed, all detected issues within your AWS environment will appear in your Outstanding Tasks area.
You are now free to begin completing your Outstanding Tasks, as well as accessing other areas of the platform. For more information about completing tasks related to cloud platforms, click here.
