Ensure S3 bucket inventory is enabled

S3 Inventory provides scheduled reports of objects and their metadata, useful for auditing, replication verification, and compliance reporting.

Security Impact

Without inventory, auditing bucket contents at scale requires expensive LIST operations and custom scripting.

How to Remediate

Enable S3 Inventory to generate daily or weekly reports. Include metadata fields like encryption status, replication status, and object size.
