United Arab Emirates IAR compliance assessment report is now available with 58 services in scope

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce the publication of our compliance assessment report on the Information Assurance Regulation (IAR) established by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) of the United Arab Emirates. The report covers the AWS Middle East (UAE) Region, with 58 services in scope of the assessment.

The IAR provides management and technical information security controls to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve information assurance. AWS alignment with IAR requirements demonstrates our ongoing commitment to adhere to the heightened expectations for cloud service providers. As such, IAR-regulated customers can use AWS services with confidence.

Independent third-party auditors from BDO evaluated AWS for the period of November 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022. The assessment report illustrating the status of AWS compliance is available through AWS Artifact. AWS Artifact is a self-service portal for on-demand access to AWS compliance reports.
