The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has established the CPS 230 Operational Risk Management standard to verify that regulated entities are resilient to operational risks and disruptions. CPS 230 requires regulated financial entities to effectively manage their operational risks, maintain critical operations during disruptions, and manage the risks associated with service providers.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is excited to announce the launch of the AWS Workbook for the APRA CPS 230 standard to support AWS customers as they work to meet applicable CPS 230 requirements. The workbook describes operational resilience, AWS and the Shared Responsibility Model, AWS compliance programs, and relevant AWS services and whitepapers that relate to regulatory requirements.

This workbook is complementary to the AWS User Guide to Financial Services Regulations and Guidelines in Australia and is available through AWS Artifact.

As the regulatory environment continues to evolve, we’ll provide further updates regarding AWS offerings in this area on the AWS Security Blog and the AWS Compliance page. The AWS Workbook for the APRA CPS 230 adds to the resources AWS provides about financial services regulation across the world. You can find more information on cloud-related regulatory compliance at the AWS Compliance Center. You can also reach out to your AWS account manager for help finding the resources you need.
