Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar

cdk-nag identifies and reports security and compliance issues in AWS CDK applications or CloudFormation templates. It comes with several so-called packs of rules: a general AWS pack that includes checks for what AWS considers best practices, as well as packs for HIPAA, NIST, and PCI compliance. You can add additional rules as needed. Rules can result in either warnings or errors, both of which are included in reports generated by the tool. When errors are present, the cdk deploy command will not do deployments. If the cause of the error can't be fixed in time, you can still deploy with the error present but suppressed. Obviously, this should only be done in exceptional cases.
