Ensure S3 bucket has cross-region replication enabled

Cross-region replication (CRR) automatically replicates objects to a bucket in another AWS region for disaster recovery and data locality.

Security Impact

Single-region storage is vulnerable to regional outages, disasters, or data center incidents.

How to Remediate

Enable cross-region replication for buckets containing critical data. Ensure destination bucket has appropriate encryption and access controls.
