default security group created by stack

Our IT department is saying that the tool they use (Wiz) is saying that the default security group the DLT stack creates has inbound and outbound rules and that a default security group should not have that from a security standpoint. Apparently if it was a custom security group it would be OK. Is there a way I could tweak the template to resolve this or another workaround you can think of?

we dont have a default security group. We need to manage inbound outbound rules for our ecs, and for that we do create a new security group. When you deploy the solution, you dont have to manage the ecs and its rules but that doesnt make the security group a default one.
However if it is still a concern, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/distributed-load-testing-on-aws/deployment.html you can create a VPC with a new custom security group with exact IP addresses same as our default addresses, and then deploy your stack with that VPC as a workaround.

thank you, I've passed this info on to the folks trying to get it how they want
