Security assessment

Fixes a documentation link without altering the existing security guidance about root access keys.

Evidence

-**One of the best ways to protect your account is to not have access keys for your AWS account root user.** Unless you must have root user access keys (which is rare), it is best not to generate them. Instead, create an administrative user in AWS IAM Identity Center for daily administrative tasks.For information about how to create an administrative user in IAM Identity Center, see [Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//singlesignon/latest/userguide/getting-started.html) in the _IAM Identity Center User Guide_.
