- Declare a variable with all the accounts to scan. To do so, get the list of your AWS accounts in your AWS Organization by running the following command (will create a variable with all your ACTIVE accounts). Remember to run that command with the permissions needed to get that information in your AWS Organizations Management account.
> Make sure the role in your AWS Organizatiosn management account has the permissions `organizations:ListAccounts*` and `organizations:ListTagsForResource`.
> Make sure the role in your AWS Organizations management account has the permissions `organizations:ListAccounts*` and `organizations:ListTagsForResource`.
- In that command Prowler will scan the account and getting the account details from the AWS Organizations management account assuming a role and creating two reports with those details in JSON and CSV.

Remember to enable Security Hub in the region or regions you need by calling `aws securityhub enable-security-hub --region <region>` and run Prowler with the option `-f <region>` (if no region is used it will try to push findings in all regions hubs).

Prowler v3 comes with different identifiers but we maintained the same checks that were implemented in v2. The reason for this change is because in previows versions of Prowler, check names were mostly based on CIS Benchmark for AWS. In v3 all checks are independent from any security framework and they have its own name and ID.
