Executive Summary Preview

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is assessed at Tier 3 (Moderate Risk), reflecting a small number of unresolved transparency and verification gaps rather than any indication of active threat, malicious activity, or regulatory enforcement. Across 21 independent data sources, AWS presents a strong technical security posture: its domain is 31 years established, all security engines return clean verdicts, infrastructure exposure is minimal with no known CVEs, and HTTP security headers earned a security header analysis grade of A (95/100).

Recommended Actions

  1. Obtain AWS's PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AoC) via AWS Artifact (https://aws.amazon.com/artifact) within 30 days. This document independently confirms PCI DSS compliance status and is required for your TPSP file under PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8. Log in to your AWS account and navigate to AWS Artifact > Agreements & Reports to download it.
  2. Verify AWS FedRAMP authorization status independently by searching the FedRAMP Marketplace at https://marketplace.fedramp.gov for 'Amazon Web Services'. Note the specific authorization level (e.g., FedRAMP High) and document it alongside this report.
  3. Download the AWS SOC 2 Type II report via AWS Artifact (https://aws.amazon.com/artifact). This report provides independent third-party assurance over AWS's security, availability, and confidentiality controls. Retain with your vendor risk file.

Frequently asked about Amazon Web Services

Is Amazon Web Services safe to use as a vendor?+
Amazon Web Services can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Amazon Web Services's full risk profile.
Does Amazon Web Services have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Amazon Web Services holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is Amazon Web Services FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Amazon Web Services holds FedRAMP authorization. Full details including authorization level and scope are available in the ThirdProof investigation report.
Has Amazon Web Services had any data breaches?+
ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals involving Amazon Web Services. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is Amazon Web Services on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Amazon Web Services against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If Amazon Web Services or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
How do I assess Amazon Web Services for vendor risk?+
