We’re excited to announce that our Europe (London) Region has renewed our accreditation for United Kingdom (UK) Police-Assured Secure Facilities (PASF) for Official-Sensitive data. Since 2017, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Europe (London) Region has been assured under the PASF program. This demonstrates our continuous commitment to adhere to the heightened expectations of customers with UK law enforcement workloads. Our UK law enforcement customers who require PASF can continue to run their applications in the PASF-assured Europe (London) Region in confidence.

   <p>The PASF is a long-established assurance process, used by UK law enforcement, as a method for assuring the security of facilities such as data centers or other locations that house critical business applications that process or hold police data. PASF consists of a control set of security requirements, an on-site inspection, and an audit interview with representatives of the facility.</p> 
   <p>The Police Digital Service (PDS) confirmed the renewal for AWS on May 24, 2024. A letter confirming PASF status from the Police Digital Service (PDS) can be found on <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/artifact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Artifact</a>. The UK police force and law enforcement organizations can also obtain confirmation of the compliance status of AWS through the <a href="https://pds.police.uk/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police Digital Service</a>.</p>
