New SOC 2 Report Available: Confidentiality

As with everything at Amazon, the success of our security and compliance program is primarily measured by one thing: our customers’ success. Our customers drive our portfolio of compliance reports, attestations, and certifications that support their efforts in running a secure and compliant cloud environment. As a result of our engagement with key customers across the globe, we are happy to announce the publication of our new SOC 2 Confidentiality report. This report is available now through AWS Artifact in the AWS Management Console.

We’ve been publishing SOC 2 Security and Availability Trust Principle reports for years now, and the Confidentiality criteria is complementary to the Security and Availability criteria. The SOC 2 Confidentiality Trust Principle, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Assurance Services Executive Committee (ASEC), outlines additional criteria focused on further safeguarding data, limiting and reducing access to authorized users, and addressing the effective and timely disposal of customer content after deletion by the customer.

The AWS SOC Report covers the data centers in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), AWS GovCloud (US), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and South America (São Paulo) Regions. See AWS Global Infrastructure for more information.
