+There are two parts of this package.
+
+1. CloudFormation template to configure AWS Config, Amazon CloudWatch to analyse against the CIS benchmarks and AWS Lambda to respond. Located under the architecture directory
+2. Python script to run all of the CIS Benchmark checks from the command line and output the results to an HTML file. Located under the aws_cis_foundation_framework directory
+
+See the REAMDME.md files for the install instructions for each part.
+
+Prerequisites for part 1 (automated benchmarking):
+
+1. AWS Config must be running in the region where this template will be run. This is needed for Config Rules.
+2. Amazon CloudTrail must be delivering logs to CloudWatch Logs. This is needed for CloudWatch metrics and alarms.
+3. AWS Lambda must be supported in the region where this template will be launched. See [this](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) page for region support.
+
+Prerequisites for part 2 (python script)
+
+1. Python version 2.7
+2. Configured AWS CLI
+3. IAM permissions as defined in (aws-cis-foundation-benchmark-checklist-lambdarole.json)
