Found, explained, handed over.

Where the estate departs from your policies, frameworks and tagging rules.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Enable a multi-region CloudTrail.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
CloudTrail on AWS
The fix, by hand
  1. CloudTrail → Trails → Create trail → Apply to all regions = yes.
  2. Storage location → new S3 bucket with Object Lock + versioning + a KMS CMK.
  3. Enable Log file validation, CloudWatch Logs integration (optional), and Insights events.
  4. (Optional) Enable Data events for sensitive S3 buckets and Lambda functions.
  5. Verify a test API call surfaces in Event History within 15 min.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.

Category
Compliance. Configuration drift from best practice: public access, missing MFA, unencrypted storage, deprecated runtimes.
