AWS Artifact

A portal for on-demand access to AWS compliance reports and security agreements.

AWS Artifact is a self-service portal giving customers on-demand access to AWS compliance documentation, including SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 reports, PCI DSS attestations, ISO certifications, and FedRAMP authorizations. These let customers validate AWS’s control environment to their own auditors and regulators without waiting on AWS Support. The key exam distinction is that Artifact covers AWS’s side of the Shared Responsibility Model — it proves what AWS has done, not the customer. It also lets customers review and accept legal agreements such as the Business Associate Addendum (BAA) for HIPAA.
