New PCI DSS report now available, 31 services added to scope

September 9, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. See details.


In just the last 6 months, we’ve increased the number of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certified services by 50%. We were evaluated by third-party auditors from Coalfire and the latest report is now available on AWS Artifact.

I would like to especially call out the six new services (marked with asterisks) that just launched generally available at re:Invent with PCI certification. We’re increasing the rate we add existing services in scope and are also launching new services PCI certified, enabling you to use them for regulated workloads sooner. The goal is for all of our services to have compliance certifications so you never have to wait to verify their security and compliance posture. Additional work to that end is already underway, and we’ll be updating you about our progress at every significant milestone.

With the addition of the following 31 services, you can now select from a total of 93 PCI-compliant services. To see the full list, go to our Services in Scope by Compliance Program page.
