AWS has completed its 2019 assessment against the Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalog (C5) information security and compliance program. Germany’s national cybersecurity authority—Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)—established C5 to define a reference standard for German cloud security requirements. With C5, customers in German states can use the work performed under this BSI compliance catalog to help them comply with their stringent local requirements.

AWS has added four regions (London, Paris, Stockholm and Singapore); Edge locations in England, France, Germany, Ireland and Singapore; and 30 services to this year’s scope:

• Amazon Comprehend
• Amazon DocumentDB
• Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes
• Amazon Elasticsearch Service
