How to Resolve Manually
To resolve manually, you can simply delete any secrets which trigger this rule to become NON_COMPLIANT. There should be little reason to continue to store a secret if it has not been accessed or used within the last 90 days.
You can see an overview of when your secrets were last used in the Secrets Manager Dashboard as pictured below.
To delete a Secret, click into the particular secret you wish to delete, hit the top "Actions" drop down box and choose Delete Secret.
