Terraform Modules for AWSNetworking & Edge

Terraform AWS WAFv2

WAFv2 web ACLs, rule groups, IP sets, and regex pattern sets with managed and custom rules, CloudWatch visibility metrics, logging configuration, and CloudFront or regional scope for request filtering.

Controls enforced

These compliance controls are checked at terraform plan time.

Quick start

module "wafv2" {
  source  = "acscessentialeight.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "hipaa.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "iso27001.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "nis2.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "nist800171.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "pcidss.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "soc2.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"

  # ... your arguments here
}

See the Get Started guide and Registry Endpoints for details on how to customize the module for your requirements.

Migration from upstream

Already using terraform-aws-modules? Change only the source URL:

module "wafv2" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"
}
module "wafv2" {
  source  = "soc2.compliance.tf/terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
  version = "1.0"
}

Same arguments. Same outputs. Controls are checked at terraform plan. See the Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Reversibility

No lock-in. Switch back by reverting the source URL:

module "wafv2" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws"
}

Run terraform init -upgrade. Terraform state is unchanged β€” same resource addresses, same provider, no compliance.tf-specific resources. Controls you already applied remain in AWS.
