AWS Security: GDPR Compliance Checklist

A comprehensive guide to implementing GDPR-compliant AWS infrastructure for EU organizations

Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) fundamentally changed how organizations handle personal data in the European Union. For companies using AWS, achieving and maintaining GDPR compliance requires a systematic approach combining AWS security services, proper architecture, and operational processes.

This guide provides a practical checklist for implementing GDPR compliance on AWS, with code examples and automation scripts tailored for the Dutch and EU market.

Understanding GDPR on AWS

The Shared Responsibility Model

AWS Responsibility (Security OF the Cloud):

  • Physical infrastructure security
  • Network infrastructure
  • Hypervisor and hardware
  • AWS services compliance certifications

Your Responsibility (Security IN the Cloud):

  • Data encryption and protection
  • Access management
  • Network security configuration
  • Compliance with GDPR requirements
  • Data subject rights implementation

Key GDPR Principles for AWS

  1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
  2. Purpose Limitation
  3. Data Minimization
  4. Accuracy
  5. Storage Limitation
  6. Integrity and Confidentiality
  7. Accountability

GDPR Compliance Checklist

1. Data Discovery and Classification

Identify Personal Data:

  • Map all data stores containing personal data
  • Classify data sensitivity levels
  • Document data flows and processing activities
import boto3
import json

# Use AWS Macie for automated data discovery
macie = boto3.client('macie2', region_name='eu-west-1')

# Create classification job for S3 buckets
def create_classification_job():
    response = macie.create_classification_job(
        jobType='ONE_TIME',
        name='GDPR-Data-Discovery',
        s3JobDefinition={
            'bucketDefinitions': [
                {
                    'accountId': '123456789012',
                    'buckets': ['customer-data-bucket', 'analytics-bucket']
                }
            ]
        },
        customDataIdentifierIds=[],
        managedDataIdentifierSelector='ALL',
        tags={
            'Purpose': 'GDPR-Compliance',
            'DataClassification': 'Personal-Data'
        }
    )
    return response['jobId']

job_id = create_classification_job()
print(f"Classification job created: {job_id}")

Tag Resources with Data Classification:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';

// Create bucket with GDPR classification tags
const customerDataBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'CustomerData', {
  encryption: s3.BucketEncryption.S3_MANAGED,
  versioned: true,
  lifecycleRules: [
    {
      expiration: cdk.Duration.days(365),
      noncurrentVersionExpiration: cdk.Duration.days(30),
    },
  ],
});

cdk.Tags.of(customerDataBucket).add('DataClassification', 'Personal');
cdk.Tags.of(customerDataBucket).add('GDPR', 'True');
cdk.Tags.of(customerDataBucket).add('DataResidency', 'EU');

2. Data Residency and Localization

Enforce EU-Only Regions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "DenyNonEURegions",
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Action": "*",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringNotEquals": {
          "aws:RequestedRegion": [
            "eu-west-1",
            "eu-west-2",
            "eu-west-3",
            "eu-central-1",
            "eu-north-1"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Implement with AWS Organizations SCP:

# Create Service Control Policy for data residency
aws organizations create-policy \
  --name "EU-Data-Residency-Policy" \
  --description "Restrict resources to EU regions only" \
  --type SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY \
  --content file://eu-region-policy.json

# Attach to organizational unit
aws organizations attach-policy \
  --policy-id p-xxxxxxxx \
  --target-id ou-xxxx-xxxxxxxx

Validate Region Compliance:

import boto3

def audit_non_eu_resources():
    """Audit resources outside EU regions"""
    eu_regions = [
        'eu-west-1', 'eu-west-2', 'eu-west-3',
        'eu-central-1', 'eu-north-1'
    ]

    ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')
    all_regions = [region['RegionName'] for region in ec2.describe_regions()['Regions']]

    violations = []

    for region in all_regions:
        if region not in eu_regions:
            ec2_regional = boto3.client('ec2', region_name=region)
            instances = ec2_regional.describe_instances()

            for reservation in instances['Reservations']:
                for instance in reservation['Instances']:
                    violations.append({
                        'ResourceId': instance['InstanceId'],
                        'Region': region,
                        'Type': 'EC2 Instance'
                    })

    return violations

# Run audit
violations = audit_non_eu_resources()
if violations:
    print(f"WARNING: {len(violations)} resources found outside EU regions")
    for violation in violations:
        print(f"  - {violation['Type']} {violation['ResourceId']} in {violation['Region']}")

3. Encryption at Rest

S3 Bucket Encryption:

import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';
import * as kms from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-kms';

// Create KMS key for data encryption
const dataEncryptionKey = new kms.Key(this, 'DataEncryptionKey', {
  enableKeyRotation: true,
  description: 'KMS key for GDPR-compliant data encryption',
  alias: 'gdpr-data-encryption',
});

// Create encrypted bucket
const secureDataBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'SecureData', {
  encryption: s3.BucketEncryption.KMS,
  encryptionKey: dataEncryptionKey,
  bucketKeyEnabled: true,
  versioned: true,
  enforceSSL: true,
});

RDS Database Encryption:

import * as rds from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds';
import * as ec2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2';

const database = new rds.DatabaseInstance(this, 'CustomerDatabase', {
  engine: rds.DatabaseInstanceEngine.postgres({
    version: rds.PostgresEngineVersion.VER_15_3,
  }),
  instanceType: ec2.InstanceType.of(
    ec2.InstanceClass.T4G,
    ec2.InstanceSize.MEDIUM
  ),
  vpc,
  storageEncrypted: true,
  storageEncryptionKey: dataEncryptionKey,
  backupRetention: cdk.Duration.days(35),
  deletionProtection: true,
  cloudwatchLogsExports: ['postgresql'],
});

Enforce Encryption with AWS Config:

Resources:
  S3BucketEncryptionRule:
    Type: AWS::Config::ConfigRule
    Properties:
      ConfigRuleName: s3-bucket-server-side-encryption-enabled
      Source:
        Owner: AWS
        SourceIdentifier: S3_BUCKET_SERVER_SIDE_ENCRYPTION_ENABLED
      Scope:
        ComplianceResourceTypes:
          - AWS::S3::Bucket

  RDSEncryptionRule:
    Type: AWS::Config::ConfigRule
    Properties:
      ConfigRuleName: rds-storage-encrypted
      Source:
        Owner: AWS
        SourceIdentifier: RDS_STORAGE_ENCRYPTED
      Scope:
        ComplianceResourceTypes:
          - AWS::RDS::DBInstance

4. Encryption in Transit

Enforce HTTPS/TLS:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "DenyInsecureTransport",
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Principal": "*",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::customer-data-bucket/*",
        "arn:aws:s3:::customer-data-bucket"
      ],
      "Condition": {
        "Bool": {
          "aws:SecureTransport": "false"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Application Load Balancer with TLS:

import * as elbv2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-elasticloadbalancingv2';
import * as acm from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-certificatemanager';

// Create ACM certificate
const certificate = new acm.Certificate(this, 'Certificate', {
  domainName: 'app.example.nl',
  validation: acm.CertificateValidation.fromDns(),
});

// Create ALB with HTTPS listener
const alb = new elbv2.ApplicationLoadBalancer(this, 'ALB', {
  vpc,
  internetFacing: true,
});

const httpsListener = alb.addListener('HttpsListener', {
  port: 443,
  certificates: [certificate],
  sslPolicy: elbv2.SslPolicy.TLS13_RES,
});

// Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
const httpListener = alb.addListener('HttpListener', {
  port: 80,
  defaultAction: elbv2.ListenerAction.redirect({
    protocol: 'HTTPS',
    port: '443',
    permanent: true,
  }),
});

5. Access Control and Authentication

Implement Least Privilege IAM:

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';

// Create role with minimal permissions
const dataProcessorRole = new iam.Role(this, 'DataProcessorRole', {
  assumedBy: new iam.ServicePrincipal('lambda.amazonaws.com'),
  description: 'Role for GDPR-compliant data processing',
});

// Add specific permissions only
dataProcessorRole.addToPolicy(new iam.PolicyStatement({
  effect: iam.Effect.ALLOW,
  actions: [
    's3:GetObject',
    's3:PutObject',
  ],
  resources: ['arn:aws:s3:::customer-data-bucket/processed/*'],
  conditions: {
    'StringEquals': {
      's3:x-amz-server-side-encryption': 'aws:kms',
    },
  },
}));

Enable MFA for Sensitive Operations:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "RequireMFAForDataDeletion",
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Action": [
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:DeleteBucket",
        "rds:DeleteDBInstance"
      ],
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "BoolIfExists": {
          "aws:MultiFactorAuthPresent": "false"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Implement SSO with SAML:

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';

// Create SAML provider for Azure AD integration
const samlProvider = new iam.SamlProvider(this, 'AzureADProvider', {
  metadataDocument: iam.SamlMetadataDocument.fromFile('./azure-ad-metadata.xml'),
  name: 'AzureAD',
});

// Create role for federated users
const federatedRole = new iam.Role(this, 'FederatedUserRole', {
  assumedBy: new iam.SamlConsolePrincipal(samlProvider),
  managedPolicies: [
    iam.ManagedPolicy.fromAwsManagedPolicyName('ReadOnlyAccess'),
  ],
});

6. Audit Logging and Monitoring

Enable Comprehensive Logging:

import * as cloudtrail from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-cloudtrail';
import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';

// Create logging bucket
const logBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'AuditLogBucket', {
  encryption: s3.BucketEncryption.S3_MANAGED,
  versioned: true,
  lifecycleRules: [
    {
      transitions: [
        {
          storageClass: s3.StorageClass.GLACIER,
          transitionAfter: cdk.Duration.days(90),
        },
      ],
      expiration: cdk.Duration.days(2555), // 7 years for compliance
    },
  ],
  blockPublicAccess: s3.BlockPublicAccess.BLOCK_ALL,
});

// Enable CloudTrail
const trail = new cloudtrail.Trail(this, 'GDPRAuditTrail', {
  bucket: logBucket,
  enableFileValidation: true,
  includeGlobalServiceEvents: true,
  isMultiRegionTrail: true,
  managementEvents: cloudtrail.ReadWriteType.ALL,
});

// Log data events for sensitive buckets
trail.addS3EventSelector([{
  bucket: customerDataBucket,
  objectPrefix: '',
}], {
  readWriteType: cloudtrail.ReadWriteType.ALL,
  includeManagementEvents: true,
});

Automated Compliance Monitoring:

import boto3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def monitor_data_access():
    """Monitor access to personal data"""
    cloudtrail = boto3.client('cloudtrail', region_name='eu-west-1')

    # Query CloudTrail for data access events
    response = cloudtrail.lookup_events(
        LookupAttributes=[
            {
                'AttributeKey': 'ResourceType',
                'AttributeValue': 'AWS::S3::Object'
            }
        ],
        StartTime=datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=24),
        MaxResults=50
    )

    suspicious_access = []

    for event in response['Events']:
        event_name = event['EventName']
        username = event.get('Username', 'Unknown')

        # Flag unusual access patterns
        if event_name in ['DeleteObject', 'GetObject'] and 'customer-data' in str(event):
            suspicious_access.append({
                'Time': event['EventTime'],
                'User': username,
                'Action': event_name,
                'Resource': event.get('Resources', [{}])[0].get('ResourceName')
            })

    return suspicious_access

# Run monitoring
alerts = monitor_data_access()
if alerts:
    print(f"ALERT: {len(alerts)} suspicious data access events detected")
    for alert in alerts:
        print(f"  {alert['Time']}: {alert['User']} performed {alert['Action']}")

7. Data Subject Rights Implementation

Right to Access (Article 15):

import boto3
import json

def export_user_data(user_email):
    """Export all data for a specific user"""
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='eu-west-1')
    s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='eu-west-1')

    # Query user data from DynamoDB
    table = dynamodb.Table('UserData')
    response = table.query(
        KeyConditionExpression='email = :email',
        ExpressionAttributeValues={
            ':email': user_email
        }
    )

    user_data = {
        'personal_information': response['Items'],
        'export_date': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'request_type': 'GDPR Article 15 - Right to Access'
    }

    # Upload to secure export bucket
    export_key = f"gdpr-exports/{user_email}/{datetime.now().date()}.json"
    s3.put_object(
        Bucket='gdpr-export-bucket',
        Key=export_key,
        Body=json.dumps(user_data, indent=2),
        ServerSideEncryption='aws:kms'
    )

    # Generate presigned URL valid for 7 days
    url = s3.generate_presigned_url(
        'get_object',
        Params={'Bucket': 'gdpr-export-bucket', 'Key': export_key},
        ExpiresIn=604800
    )

    return url

Right to Erasure (Article 17):

def delete_user_data(user_email):
    """Delete all personal data for a user (right to be forgotten)"""
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='eu-west-1')
    s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='eu-west-1')

    # Log deletion request for audit
    log_deletion_request(user_email)

    # Delete from DynamoDB
    table = dynamodb.Table('UserData')
    response = table.query(
        KeyConditionExpression='email = :email',
        ExpressionAttributeValues={':email': user_email}
    )

    with table.batch_writer() as batch:
        for item in response['Items']:
            batch.delete_item(Key={'email': user_email, 'timestamp': item['timestamp']})

    # Delete S3 objects
    prefix = f"users/{user_email}/"
    objects = s3.list_objects_v2(Bucket='customer-data-bucket', Prefix=prefix)

    if 'Contents' in objects:
        delete_keys = [{'Key': obj['Key']} for obj in objects['Contents']]
        s3.delete_objects(
            Bucket='customer-data-bucket',
            Delete={'Objects': delete_keys}
        )

    return {
        'status': 'completed',
        'user': user_email,
        'deletion_date': datetime.now().isoformat()
    }

def log_deletion_request(user_email):
    """Log deletion request for audit trail"""
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='eu-west-1')
    audit_table = dynamodb.Table('GDPRAuditLog')

    audit_table.put_item(Item={
        'request_id': str(uuid.uuid4()),
        'user_email': user_email,
        'request_type': 'RIGHT_TO_ERASURE',
        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'status': 'PROCESSING'
    })

Data Portability (Article 20):

def export_portable_data(user_email):
    """Export user data in machine-readable format"""
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='eu-west-1')

    table = dynamodb.Table('UserData')
    response = table.query(
        KeyConditionExpression='email = :email',
        ExpressionAttributeValues={':email': user_email}
    )

    # Convert to portable JSON format
    portable_data = {
        'data_subject': user_email,
        'export_format': 'JSON',
        'export_date': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'data': response['Items']
    }

    return json.dumps(portable_data, indent=2)

8. Data Retention and Lifecycle Management

Automated Data Retention:

import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';
import * as dynamodb from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dynamodb';

// S3 lifecycle for automated deletion
const gdprBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'GDPRDataBucket', {
  lifecycleRules: [
    {
      id: 'DeleteOldCustomerData',
      enabled: true,
      prefix: 'customer-data/',
      expiration: cdk.Duration.days(365), // 1 year retention
      noncurrentVersionExpiration: cdk.Duration.days(30),
    },
    {
      id: 'ArchiveAnalytics',
      enabled: true,
      prefix: 'analytics/',
      transitions: [
        {
          storageClass: s3.StorageClass.GLACIER,
          transitionAfter: cdk.Duration.days(90),
        },
      ],
      expiration: cdk.Duration.days(730), // 2 years
    },
  ],
});

// DynamoDB with TTL for automatic expiration
const userData = new dynamodb.Table(this, 'UserData', {
  partitionKey: { name: 'email', type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING },
  sortKey: { name: 'timestamp', type: dynamodb.AttributeType.NUMBER },
  timeToLiveAttribute: 'ttl',
  pointInTimeRecovery: true,
  encryption: dynamodb.TableEncryption.AWS_MANAGED,
});

Retention Policy Enforcement:

import boto3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def enforce_retention_policy():
    """Enforce data retention policies"""
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='eu-west-1')
    table = dynamodb.Table('UserData')

    # Calculate TTL (1 year from now)
    ttl = int((datetime.now() + timedelta(days=365)).timestamp())

    # Update items with TTL
    response = table.scan()

    with table.batch_writer() as batch:
        for item in response['Items']:
            if 'ttl' not in item:
                item['ttl'] = ttl
                batch.put_item(Item=item)

    print(f"Updated {len(response['Items'])} items with retention policy")

9. Data Breach Detection and Response

Automated Breach Detection:

import * as guardduty from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-guardduty';
import * as sns from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-sns';
import * as events from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-events';
import * as targets from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-events-targets';

// Enable GuardDuty
const detector = new guardduty.CfnDetector(this, 'GDPRThreatDetector', {
  enable: true,
  dataSources: {
    s3Logs: { enable: true },
    kubernetes: { auditLogs: { enable: true } },
  },
});

// Create SNS topic for breach alerts
const breachAlertTopic = new sns.Topic(this, 'BreachAlertTopic', {
  displayName: 'GDPR Breach Alerts',
});

// EventBridge rule for high severity findings
const breachRule = new events.Rule(this, 'BreachDetectionRule', {
  eventPattern: {
    source: ['aws.guardduty'],
    detailType: ['GuardDuty Finding'],
    detail: {
      severity: [7, 8, 9], // High and Critical only
    },
  },
});

breachRule.addTarget(new targets.SnsTopic(breachAlertTopic));

Breach Response Lambda:

import boto3
import os
from datetime import datetime

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    """Automated GDPR breach response"""

    # Parse GuardDuty finding
    finding = event['detail']
    severity = finding['severity']
    finding_type = finding['type']

    # Log incident
    log_security_incident(finding)

    # Notify DPO if high severity
    if severity >= 7:
        notify_dpo(finding)

        # Initiate 72-hour breach notification timer
        start_breach_notification_process(finding)

    # Take automated remediation action
    if 'UnauthorizedAccess' in finding_type:
        isolate_compromised_resource(finding)

    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'incident_id': finding['id'],
        'severity': severity
    }

def notify_dpo(finding):
    """Notify Data Protection Officer"""
    sns = boto3.client('sns', region_name='eu-west-1')

    message = f"""
    URGENT: Potential GDPR Data Breach Detected

    Finding Type: {finding['type']}
    Severity: {finding['severity']}
    Resource: {finding['resource']['resourceType']}
    Time: {finding['createdAt']}

    Action Required: Assess if this constitutes a data breach requiring
    notification to supervisory authority within 72 hours (GDPR Article 33).
    """

    sns.publish(
        TopicArn=os.environ['DPO_TOPIC_ARN'],
        Subject='GDPR Breach Alert - Immediate Action Required',
        Message=message
    )

10. Privacy by Design and Default

Infrastructure as Code with Privacy Controls:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';
import * as kms from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-kms';

export class GDPRCompliantStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.App, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // Privacy by default: encryption key
    const encryptionKey = new kms.Key(this, 'DefaultEncryptionKey', {
      enableKeyRotation: true,
      description: 'Default encryption for all data at rest',
    });

    // Privacy by default: secure bucket template
    const createSecureBucket = (name: string) => {
      return new s3.Bucket(this, name, {
        encryption: s3.BucketEncryption.KMS,
        encryptionKey,
        bucketKeyEnabled: true,

Conclusion

Achieving GDPR compliance on AWS requires a comprehensive approach combining technology, processes, and governance. By implementing these controls and automation scripts, EU organizations can:

  • Ensure data protection by design and default
  • Maintain continuous compliance monitoring
  • Respond efficiently to data subject rights requests
  • Detect and respond to data breaches within GDPR timelines
  • Demonstrate accountability to supervisory authorities

Key Takeaways:

  • Use AWS services designed for compliance (KMS, CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty)
  • Enforce EU data residency through SCPs and region controls
  • Implement comprehensive encryption for data at rest and in transit
  • Automate compliance monitoring and reporting
  • Prepare for data subject rights requests with automated workflows
  • Maintain detailed audit trails for 7+ years
