AWS Backup Audit Manager adds new controls to further simplify the compliance auditing and reporting of your data protection policies. You now have controls for ‘cross-Region copy’ and ‘cross-account copy’, which enable you to demonstrate compliance of creating logical air-gapped backups across AWS Regions and AWS Accounts in accordance with your disaster recovery strategy. Additionally, you now have a control for ‘backups protected by AWS Backup Vault Lock ’ which helps you track whether your backups are immutable via WORM (write-once, read-many) capabilities, to protect your application data from inadvertent or malicious actions.
