How to Resolve Manually

This rule checks whether there exist at least one rule / rule group within a WAF regional Web ACL. If the ACL doesn't contain any rule it will be marked as non-compliant.

In order to resolve this manually you will need to go to your WAF & Shield dashboard and click on Web ACLs. Filter for the region in which your Web ACL is located then click on the ACL name to view its properties.

Once there, click on the Rules tab and check if this particular ACL has a rule or rule group associated to it. Check the following screenshot as a reference:
