ASSOCIATED DRATA CONTROL

This test is part of the Storage Buckets are Versioned control that ensures storage buckets containing customer data are versioned appropriately.

WHAT TO DO IF A TEST FAILS

If Drata detects data stores that are not configured for versioning the test will fail. With a failed test you will receive a list of data stores that require versioning.

To remediate a failed test, you will need to enable data versioning on the reported data stores.
