Onboarding the root AWS account for your organization will allow us to onboard all the children accounts automatically.

This will also allow Data Theorem to automatically onboard new children accounts as they’re created in the future.

This feature is in preview and is not yet available in the user interface. To participate in this feature, contact support@datatheorem.com to retrieve the AWS CloudFormation Template file for your account.

The AWS CloudFormation template will perform the following actions:

• Create the “organization role”, that will give Data Theorem the capability to list AWS accounts belonging to the organization for onboarding purpose, and perform discovery.

• Create a CloudFormation StackSet that will take care of creating a role in each children account of the organization (with the SecurityAudit role, to enable discovery on the account)

• Note that all the created roles will be bound to Data Theorem, and require an external ID.
