Explanation

AWS Config provides managed rules that can assess various configurations, including the retention period of CloudWatch Logs log groups. By enabling the appropriate AWS Config managed rule to check if the log groups have a retention period of 90 days, the company can automatically monitor compliance with this requirement. Integrating AWS Config with AWS Security Hub allows non-compliant findings to be sent to Security Hub, providing the necessary notifications when the retention period is not compliant.
