Today, AWS Backup Audit Manager adds a new control allowing you to audit restore time targets against your resources. With this launch, you can help your organizations recovery preparations by specifying restore time targets for your resources, and evaluating whether they meet your business or compliance requirements.

To begin using this new AWS Backup Audit Manager control, simply enable it in your existing AWS Backup Audit Manager frameworks or create a new framework. Once you enable this control, AWS Backup Audit Manager automatically runs it on a daily basis, monitoring your restore time target against your specified time for on-demand or restore testing jobs. You can also generate auditor-ready reports to help prove compliance of your data protection policies to organizational or industry-specific regulatory requirements.

Get started with AWS Backup Audit Manager using the AWS Management console, SDKs, or CLI. AWS Backup Audit Manager is available in US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Stockholm), South America (Sao Paulo), Middle East (Bahrain), Africa (Cape Town), and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo).
