Protect PII in AWS logs and storage at the infrastructure layer without touching application code. Pairs CloudWatch Logs Data Protection (real-time masking of live logs) with Amazon Macie (PII discovery in S3), routing HIGH-severity findings through Security Hub -> EventBridge -> SNS.

What
Adds a
pii-protectionskill toaws-dev-toolkit: stop PII leaks in AWS at theinfrastructure layer, no application code change required. Pairs CloudWatch Logs
Data Protection (real-time masking of sensitive fields in live logs) with Amazon
Macie (discovery of PII already at rest in S3), routing HIGH-severity findings
through Security Hub -> EventBridge -> SNS.
Why
The existing security skills (
security-review,iam,hipaa-assistant,well-architected) cover IAM, IaC scanning, and compliance frameworks — but noneaddress runtime data-protection: masking sensitive data already flowing into logs, or
discovering undiscovered PII in storage. Opinionated stance: protect at the infra
layer first, refactor code later.
RFC
Implements #192.
