## Step 1: Setting up your Amazon S3 bucket
1. Open the [Amazon S3 console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/).
1. Choose **Create bucket**.
![\[Amazon S3 console interface showing Buckets section with Create bucket button highlighted.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Monitron/latest/user-guide/images/gdpr-create-bucket.png)
1. Name your bucket and select an appropriate region. Then, at the bottom of the page, choose **Create bucket**.
**Important**
At this time, Amazon Monitron is only supported in three regions:
US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1
EU (Ireland) eu-west-1
Asia Pacific (Sydney) ap-south-east-2
Therefore, your Amazon S3 bucket must be in one of those regions.
It must also be the same region in which you are using the Amazon Monitron service.
![\[Create bucket interface showing bucket name "monitron-export-example" and AWS Region "US East (N. Virginia)".\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Monitron/latest/user-guide/images/gdpr-create-bucket-2.png)
1. Review the rest of the options on the page, and make the appropriate choices, depending on your security needs and policies.
**Important**
You are responsible for taking the appropriate steps to secure your data. We strongly recommend using server-side encryption and blocking public access to your bucket.
1. Using the search box, find the bucket you just created, and then choose it.
![\[AWS S3 console showing a newly created bucket named "monitron-export-example" in the bucket list.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Monitron/latest/user-guide/images/gdpr-choose-s3-bucket.png)
1. From the **Properties** tab, make a note of the name, ARN, and region of the bucket.

1. Open the [ IAM console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) and choose **Policies**.
