Explanation in Terraform Registry

Disable/enable Security Hub standards control in the current region. The aws_securityhub_standards_control behaves differently from normal resources, in that Terraform does not create this resource, but instead "adopts" it into management. When you delete this resource configuration, Terraform "abandons" resource as is and just removes it from the state.

CloudFormation Example
