AWS Backup Audit Manager adds new controls to help prove compliance of maintaining immutable backups across AWS Regions and accounts
AWS Backup Audit Manager adds new controls to further simplify the compliance auditing and reporting of your data protection policies. You now have controls for ‘cross-Region copy’ and 'cross-account copy’, which enable you to demonstrate compliance of creating logical air-gapped backups across AWS Regions and AWS Accounts in accordance with your disaster recovery strategy. Additionally, you now have a control for ‘backups protected by AWS Backup Vault Lock’ which helps you track whether your backups are immutable via WORM (write-once, read-many) capabilities, to protect your application data from inadvertent or malicious actions.
