New IRAP reports for Australian customers are now available in AWS Artifact

Following our Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment in December 2019, we are excited to announce that we have additional new IRAP documents now available in AWS Artifact as a result of the recent IRAP assessment at the PROTECTED level that was finished in June 2020. This includes an IRAP compliance report for 33 additional services, plus 1 separate report for AWS Outposts. Also included are 3 features of services that were already assessed in 2019: Amazon EventBridge for Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Transit Gateway for Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), and AWS Lake Formation for AWS Glue.
