Installing this Customization will enable GuardDuty in all AWS Control Tower managed accounts, with the Audit account acting as the default GuardDuty Admin account.

This is done by deploying a GuardDuty Enabler lambda function in the Control Tower root account. It runs periodically and checks each Control Tower managed account/region to ensure that they have been invited into the GuardDuty Admin account and that GuardDuty is enabled.

The original code for automating GuardDuty enablement in AWS accounts is present here. This has been extended to work with Control Tower.

1. Run src/package.sh to package the code and dependencies

2. Upload the src/guardduty_enabler.zip file to an S3 bucket, note the bucket name

3. Gather other information for deployment parameters:

   • In AWS Organizations, look on the Settings page for the Organization ID. It will be o-xxxxxxxxxx
   • In AWS Organizations, look on the Accounts page for the Audit account ID.

4. Launch the CloudFormation stack: aws-control-tower-guardduty-enabler.template
