Ensure Organizations has AWS CloudTrail enabled at organization level
Organization-level CloudTrail automatically logs API activity across all accounts, providing centralized audit trail and eliminating coverage gaps.
Security Impact
Without organization trail, audit gaps exist in new accounts or when account-level trails are disabled.
How to Remediate
Create an organization trail in the management account. Configure it to log to a centralized S3 bucket with proper access controls.
