AWS achieves FedRAMP P-ATO for 5 services inside AWS People East/West and GovCloud (US) Regions
We’re very happy to announce that five additional AWS providers have attained provisional authorization (P-ATO) by the Government Danger and Authorization Management Plan (FedRAMP) Joint Authorization Panel (JAB). These services supply the following features for the government and clients with regulated workloads:
- Enable your organization’s developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run thousands and thousands of batch computing jobs with AWS Batch.
- Aggregate, organize, and prioritize your security alerts or findings from multiple AWS services using AWS Security Hub.
- Provision, manage, and deploy public and private Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates using AWS Certificate Manager.
- Enable customers to create and govern a fresh, secure, multi-account AWS environment using AWS Control Tower.
- Provide a completely managed Kubernetes service with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service.
The following services are actually listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace and the AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program page.
