WorkSpace should encrypt both its root and user volumes
What it checks
WorkSpace: a storage volume is not encrypted.
Where it applies
Terraform: aws_workspaces_workspace
CloudFormation: AWS::WorkSpaces::Workspace
How to fix it
- Set root_volume_encryption_enabled = true and user_volume_encryption_enabled = true with a volume_encryption_key. Encryption can only be set at launch, so an existing unencrypted WorkSpace must be recreated.
