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, navigate to the Access Key tab within the IAM user area.

2. 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.

3. After the access key has been created, you will now need to access the OneClickComply platform.

4. Navigate to the Integrations area in the navigation bar.

5. Click Add on the Amazon Web Services integration.

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

7. 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.

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

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

10. 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.
