AWS Adds 12 More Services to Its PCI DSS Compliance Program

Twelve more AWS services have obtained Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance, giving you more options, flexibility, and functionality to process and store sensitive payment card data in the AWS Cloud. The services were audited by Coalfire to ensure that they meet strict PCI DSS standards.

The newly compliant AWS services are:

• Amazon API Gateway
• Amazon CloudWatch Logs
• Amazon Cognito
• Amazon Connect
• Amazon Kinesis Streams
• Amazon WorkDocs
• Amazon WorkSpaces
• AWS Database Migration Service
• AWS Directory Service (AWS Microsoft AD, Amazon Cloud Directory)

AWS now offers 42 services that meet PCI DSS standards, putting administrators in better control of their frameworks and making workloads more efficient and cost effective.
