Compliance as Code
from checkov.terraform.checks.resource.base_resource_check import BaseResourceCheck
class S3Encryption(BaseResourceCheck):
def __init__(self):
name = "Ensure S3 bucket has encryption enabled"
id = "CUSTOM_S3_1"
supported_resources = ['aws_s3_bucket']
super().__init__(name=name, id=id, ...)

if 'server_side_encryption_configuration' in conf:
return CheckResult.PASSED
return CheckResult.FAILED
