OSPAR 2024 report now available with 163 services in scope

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce the completion of our annual Outsourced Service Provider’s Audit Report (OSPAR) audit cycle on July 1, 2024. The 2024 OSPAR certification cycle includes the addition of 10 new services in scope, bringing the total number of services in scope to 163 in the AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region.

Newly added services in scope include the following:

The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) has established the Guidelines on Control Objectives and Procedures for Outsourced Service Providers to provide baseline controls criteria that Outsourced Service Providers (“OSPs”) operating in Singapore should have in place. Successfully completing the OSPAR assessment demonstrates that AWS has implemented a robust system of controls that adhere to these guidelines. This underscores our commitment to fulfill the security expectations for cloud service providers set by the financial services industry in Singapore.

Customers can use OSPAR to streamline their due diligence processes, thereby reducing the effort and costs associated with compliance. OSPAR remains a core assurance program for our financial services customers, as it is closely aligned with local regulatory requirements from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

You can download the latest OSPAR report from AWS Artifact, a self-service portal for on-demand access to AWS compliance reports. Sign in to AWS Artifact in the AWS Management Console, or learn more at Getting Started with AWS Artifact. The list of services in scope for OSPAR is available in the report, and is also available on the AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program webpage.

As always, we’re committed to bringing new services into the scope of our OSPAR program based on your architectural and regulatory needs. If you have questions about the OSPAR report, contact your AWS account team.
