Explanation

Service Control Policies (SCPs) in AWS Organizations allow you to set permissions guardrails for accounts within an organization. By creating an SCP with an explicit Deny rule for the StopLogging and DeleteTrail actions, the security engineer can ensure that no one in the organization, regardless of their individual permissions, can stop or delete CloudTrail logs. Attaching this SCP to the root Organizational Unit (OU) will apply this restriction across all accounts, thereby preventing CloudTrail from being disabled.
