REMEDIATION

From Portal

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose 'Customer managed keys'.
  3. Choose the 'alias or 'key ID' of a KMS key.
  4. Choose the 'Key rotation' tab.
  5. Select or clear the Automatically rotate this KMS key every year check box.
  6. Choose Save.

Note: The Key rotation tab appears only on the detail page of symmetric encryption KMS keys with key material that AWS KMS generated (the Origin is AWS_KMS), including multi-Region symmetric encryption KMS keys. You cannot automatically rotate asymmetric KMS keys, HMAC KMS keys, KMS keys with imported key material, or KMS keys in custom key stores. However, you can rotate them manually. AWS managed keys are automatically rotated every 3 years.

From TF

resource "aws_kms_key" "key1" {
	...
	is_enabled              = true
	+ enable_key_rotation    = true
}

From Command Line

aws kms enable-key-rotation --kms-key-id KMS_KEY_ID
