Summary

Updated the list of unsupported AWS regions by adding 'Asia Pacific (New Zealand)' to the exceptions.

Security assessment

This change only updates the regional availability of a compliance rule (checking if Kinesis streams are encrypted). There is no evidence of a security vulnerability being addressed; it's a routine update to reflect service availability in regions.
