- CERTIFICATE_EXPIRING_7_DAYS
What this check finds
This ACM certificate will expire in 7 days or less. Expiry causes immediate HTTPS outages for any service using this certificate (CloudFront, ALB, API Gateway, etc.).
Passing looks like: No certificate expiring within 7 days.
How to fix it
Renew immediately. For ACM-managed certificates, request a renewal: aws acm renew-certificate --certificate-arn ARN. For imported certificates, upload a new certificate before expiry.
AWS console
ACM → Certificates → select cert → Renew.
Compliance controls it is evidence for
A failing result counts against these controls in KloudLytics; a passing one is evidence towards them. How compliance mapping works
| Framework | Controls |
|---|---|
| NIST SP 800-53 Rev5 (Moderate) |
|
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 |
|
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A |
