    Ensure that your Amazon RDS database instances are encrypted to fulfill compliance requirements for data-at-rest encryption.
  impact: |
    Non-encrypted RDS instances may lead to data breaches, failing to comply with data protection regulations, which could result in hefty fines and loss of reputation.
  remediation: |
    Enable encryption for your Amazon RDS instances by modifying the instance and setting the "Storage Encrypted" option to true. For new instances, enable encryption within the launch wizard.
