AWS Control Tower provides customers with out-of-the-box preventive and detective guardrails that you can deploy to increase your security, operational, and compliance posture.
You can now enable different preventive guardrails (e.g. Disallow Creation of Access Keys for the Root User and Disallow Delete Actions on Amazon S3 Buckets Without MFA) on the same Organizational Unit (OU), or the same preventive guardrail on different OUs concurrently. When using nested OUs, preventive guardrails affect all accounts and OUs nested under the target OU, even if those accounts and OUs are not registered. Preventive guardrails are implemented using Service Control Policies (SCPs), which are part of AWS Organizations. Detective guardrails are implemented using AWS Config rules. Guardrails remain in effect as you create new accounts or make changes to your existing accounts, and AWS Control Tower provides a summary report of how each account conforms to your enabled policies. For a full list of available guardrails, see Guardrail Reference - AWS Control Tower.
