# How to resolve Sprinto check for enabling versioning on AWS S3 buckets
### About:
Sprinto Check: AWS S3 bucket should be versioned
This Sprinto check verifies that versioning is enabled for your Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) buckets, which allows you to maintain multiple versions of objects stored in those buckets.
### Purpose:
Enabling versioning for S3 buckets is primarily to protect against accidental overwrites, deletions, or modifications of data. With versioning enabled, you can easily recover previous versions of objects, ensuring data integrity and providing an additional layer of protection against data loss or corruption.
### How to fix
Follow the below steps to resolve the Sprinto check:
### Before you begin:
* Ensure you have administrator privilege on the AWS account to modify configuration on AWS S3.
### Verifying versioning on S3 buckets:
1. Log in to the[ AWS Console](https://aws.amazon.com/console/) using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the AWS S3 service.
3. Select the S3 bucket from the list to verify versioning.
4. Select the Properties tab and review the versioning status from the Bucket Versioning section.
5. If the status is Suspend versioning, click Edit and enable bucket versioning.
6. Repeat the above steps for all S3 buckets that store organization's critical data.
Sprinto detects the configuration change and sets the check status to “Passing.”
