02 - Cloudtrail is Multi Region

Ensure CloudTrail is Enabled in all Regions

AWS CloudTrail is a service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk auditing of your AWS account. With CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, and retain account activity related to actions across your AWS infrastructure. CloudTrail provides event history of your AWS account activity, including actions taken through the AWS Management Console, AWS SDKs, command line tools, and other AWS services. Since new regions are being created all the time, it is important that all regions are always captured. This is why CloudTrail multi-region is a security best practice. Having a full inventory of your CloudTrails with current logging status across all of your accounts can help with CIS, NIST, HIPPA, GDPR & PCI-DSS compliance.
