A code library of example solutions from AWS that demonstrates how to deploy security services across a multi-account AWS Organizations environment, with or without AWS Control Tower, following the AWS Security Reference Architecture. It provides deployment automation via CloudFormation (including Customizations for AWS Control Tower) and Terraform.

Use cases

• implement aws security reference architecture patterns
• deploy security services across aws organizations multi-account environment
• set up security baseline for aws control tower landing zone
• automate aws security configuration with cloudformation
• deploy aws security controls with terraform
• bootstrap security tooling in a new aws landing zone

When to choose

• you are building or operating an AWS multi-account environment with Organizations or Control Tower
• you want AWS-vetted reference implementations of security services
• you need deployable CloudFormation or Terraform examples rather than documentation alone

When to avoid

• you are not using AWS or are on another cloud provider
• you need a general-purpose IaC framework rather than AWS-specific security examples
• you want a turnkey product with support instead of sample code you must adapt
