Two Big Announcements from AWS Compliance: SOC 3 Report Now Available and All SOC Reports Include New Services and New Region in Scope
AWS is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the AWS Service Organization Control (SOC) 3 report, which you can freely distribute.

Moreover, we’re happy to announce the following are now in scope for all our SOC reports:
- AWS’s Sydney, Australia region
