A company has an application that stores data that includes personally Identifiable Information (Pll) In an Amazon S3 bucket All data Is encrypted…

Activate Amazon Macie on the Production S3 Bucket:

Macie can identify and protect sensitive data such as PII.

Create a Step Functions state machine to automate data discovery and redaction before copying it to

the development environment.

Example Step Functions state machine:

{

"Comment": "Anonymize PII and copy data",

"StartAt": "MacieDiscoveryJob",

"States": {

"MacieDiscoveryJob": {

"Type": "Task",

"Resource": "arn:aws:states:::macie:startClassificationJob",

"End": true

}

}

}

Create a Development Environment from CloudFormation Template:

Deploy the development environment in a new account using the existing CloudFormation template.

Schedule an EventBridge rule to start the Step Functions state machine on a weekly basis.

EventBridge rule example:

{

"ScheduleExpression": "rate(7 days)",

"StateMachineArn": "arn:aws:states:::stateMachine:AnonymizeAndCopyData"

}

By using Macie for data anonymization and Step Functions for automation, you ensure PII is properly

handled before data transfer between environments.
