How to Resolve Manually
This rule evaluates if a WAF Global Web ACL includes rules or rule groups. If the Web ACL doesn't contain at least one rule / rule group, the AWS Config Rule will be marked as non-compliant.
You can resolve this by deleting the Web ACL if it's not being used or add a rule or rule group to it.
To add a rule, head on over to the WAF & Shield service and then click on Switch to AWS WAF Classic from the left side menu.
Click on Web ACLs and in the Filter dropdown menu choose Global (CloudFront) region. From the list, click on the name of the ACL that is not compliant and finally click on the Edit web ACL button to add a rule or rule group.
