Artifact

AWS Artifact is a self-service portal giving customers on-demand access to AWS’s own compliance documentation — SOC 1/2/3 reports, ISO certifications, PCI DSS attestations, and similar third-party audit artifacts. Because those reports cover the AWS infrastructure layer, they supply the provider’s half of shared-responsibility audit evidence without contacting AWS support. The key exam distinction: Artifact reflects AWS’s compliance posture, not the customer’s. For AI workloads, customers still use services like Amazon Macie or AWS Security Hub to demonstrate their own application-layer controls; Artifact alone does not prove a customer’s workload is compliant.
