Ensure Organizations has SCPs preventing CloudTrail disablement
SCPs should deny permissions to disable, delete, or modify CloudTrail trails to ensure continuous audit logging across all accounts.
Security Impact
Malicious insiders or attackers can disable CloudTrail to hide their activities during security incidents.
How to Remediate
Create SCP that denies cloudtrail:StopLogging, cloudtrail:DeleteTrail, and cloudtrail:UpdateTrail for organization trails.
