AWS Organizations now applies account departure security controls by default for new organizations created via AWS Organizations console

AWS Organizations now automatically applies security controls by default when creating new organizations via the console, simplifying initial security configuration.

• Automatically applies service control policies (SCPs) preventing member accounts from leaving or closing
• Protects multi-account environments from unintended account departures
• Provides immediate protection without requiring deep security expertise
• Lightweight security defaults that don't impede legitimate operations
• Available in US East (N. Virginia), AWS GovCloud (US-East), AWS GovCloud (US-West), China (Beijing), and China (Ningxia)
• Full control to modify or disable settings at any time

Enterprises can now establish strong governance patterns in new organizations with automatic security protections from day one.
