Change Check Properties
Override the values that policy checks compare against.
Many policies have properties: the ideal values that checks compare against. If your organization's standard differs from a policy's default, change the property rather than disabling the check.
For example, the "Amazon Web Services (AWS) Best Practices for NIST 1800 25" policy checks that AWS users are required to have passwords at least 14 characters long. That value lives in the iamPasswordPolicyMinimumPasswordLength property. Change the property if your organization requires a different minimum.
Other examples of properties:
- Whether to alert on certain events
- Maximum time between password or key rotations
- Allowed SSL or TLS ciphers
- Allowed domains
- Allowed algorithms
- Blocked ports
Property changes apply only to the current space.
