Instructions To Connect Security Hub

1. Login into your Dash ComplyOps application.

2. In the left sidebar, navigate to the 

Action Center.

3. In the Action Center, click on “Configure Security Hub” button.

aws security hub

4. You will then see the Security Hub page. 

AWS Security Hub should already be connected for the AWS account where Dash ComplyOps is installed. You can also connect other AWS accounts via AWS Organizations.

5. Enable Security Hub for one or more regions in an account by clicking on the Settings button next to the AWS account.

For each AWS account, you can “Enable for all regions” or enable Security Hub findings for individual regions.

*Please Note: If you have connected Dash to JIRA, enabling Security Hub will automatically send all Security Hub findings as issue cards to JIRA. This may result in many cards being created, without a function for bulk removal. We will be determining further options for improving this process.

6. After enabling Security Hub for one or more regions and accounts, Dash will digest Security Hub findings and provide compliance insight across the application.

  • *Please Note: Security Hub findings may take 24 hours to be first connected and appear in the Dash Compliance Center and Action Center

Connecting Security Hub From Other AWS Accounts
