Mapping Controls to Compliance Frameworks
Align your guardrails to standards like PCI DSS and HIPAA.
Why Frameworks Matter
Regulations and standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR define what secure handling of data must look like.
Passing the exam and running a real business both require mapping AWS controls to these frameworks so you can prove compliance to auditors.
Shared Responsibility for Compliance
Compliance, like security, is shared.
- AWS certifies its infrastructure against many frameworks.
- You are responsible for configuring your workloads compliantly on top of it.
Inheriting AWS's certifications does not make your application automatically compliant.
