Security and Compliance in AWS Cloud

Security and Compliance in AWS Cloud
date_range - 4 years ago

A lot of customers are concerned about the security and compliance aspects of cloud computing. Fortunately, cloud security is at the top of AWS priorities. AWS data centers and whole network architecture is built to meet the rigorous requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations.

From a security standpoint, there is practically no difference between the cloud and your on-premises systems. The only difference is that with the cloud, you can reduce the costs because you don't need to maintain facilities, physical servers, storage devices, or other hardware. Software-based security tools help us monitor and protect the flow of information.

In the AWS cloud, you have the security that you need with all the benefits of the AWS cloud. You get scaling abilities and innovative services, all at a lower cost compared to on-premises systems.

The AWS cloud is based on the concept of 'shared responsibility model.' AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud, while customers are responsible for the security in the cloud. No different than on-premises systems, we choose how to implement and retain security controls and how we protect your content, apps, or other systems. AWS provides best practices and guidance through online resources and AWS partners such as Sedmi odjel. All AWS environments are regularly audited from various accreditation bodies across geographies and verticals.

How can you benefit from AWS security model?

  • Data safety - All data is stored in highly secure AWS data centers, AWS infrastructure safeguards your privacy.
  • Compliancy requirements - In its infrastructure, AWS manages dozens of compliance programs, meaning that segments of your compliance have already been completed through AWS.
  • Reduces costs - By adopting cloud, you get all cost-saving benefits of the cloud (pay per use model, no investments in the hardware or staff needed to operate on-premises systems).
  • Simple scaling - With cloud adoption, you get the benefit of simple scaling of your resources, all with the proven security model. The AWS infrastructure is designed to keep your data safe.

Compliance in the cloud

AWS infrastructure is designed and managed in accordance with best security practices and IT security standards.

The following is a partial list of assurance programs with which AWS complies:

  • SOC 1/ISAE 3402, SOC 2, SOC 3
  • FISMA, DIACAP, and FedRAMP
  • PCI DSS Level 1
  • ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018

The complete list can be found on the official AWS compliance webpage.

Conclusion

AWS takes security and compliance very seriously. In a so-called 'shared responsibility model,' responsibilities are shared. AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud while we are responsible for the security in the cloud.

Sedmi odjel is an APN partner, and also very security-aware, we worked on a number of infrastructure projects that handle finance information where security and compliance are one of the top priorities. The services of Sedmi odjel are aligned with the leading IT and cloud management programs - ISO27001 and ISO27017.

Cloud technology is moving fast, customers don't need to be concerned about cloud safety. In regards to security, there is no difference between the cloud and on-premises systems, while you get all the benefits of the cloud.
