"Customer environments are logically segregated to prevent users and customers from accessing resources not assigned to them.
Services which provide virtualized operational environments to customers (i.e. EC2) ensure that customers are segregated via security management processes/controls at the network and hypervisor level.
AWS continuously monitors service usage to project infrastructure needs to support availability commitments/requirements. AWS maintains a capacity planning model to assess infrastructure usage and demands at least monthly, and usually more frequently. In addition, the AWS capacity planning model supports the planning of future demands to acquire and implement additional resources based upon current resources and forecasted requirements. - Usage notifications

"AWS adheres to independently validated privacy, data protection, security protections and control processes. (Listed under “certifications”).
AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud; customers are responsible for security in the cloud. AWS enables customers to control their content (where it will be stored, how it will be secured in transit or at rest, how access to their AWS environment will be managed).
Wherever appropriate, AWS offers customers options to add additional security layers to data at rest, via scalable and efficient encryption features. AWS offers flexible key management options and dedicated hardware-based cryptographic key storage. - Data sanitisation process

Customer environments are logically segregated to prevent users and customers from accessing resources not assigned to them. AWS gives customers ownership and control over their content by design through simple, but powerful tools that allow customers to determine how their content will be secured in transit.
AWS enables customers to open a secure, encrypted channel to AWS services using TLS/SSL, and/or IPsec or TLS VPN (if applicable), or other means of protection the customer wish to use.
API calls can be encrypted with TLS/SSL to maintain confidentiality; the AWS Console connection is encrypted with TLS.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
"AWS currently provides SLAs for several services. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of AWS’s product offerings, SLAs are best reviewed directly on our website via the links below:
https://aws.amazon.com/legal/service-level-agreements/
Well-architected solutions on AWS that leverage AWS Service SLA’s and unique AWS capabilities such as multiple Availability Zones, can ease the burden of achieving specific SLA requirements.
" - Approach to resilience
-
"The AWS Business Continuity plan details the process that AWS follows in the case of an outage, from detection to deactivation. AWS has developed a three-phased approach: Activation and Notification Phase, Recovery Phase, and Reconstitution Phase. This approach ensures that AWS performs system recovery and reconstitution efforts in a methodical sequence, maximizing the effectiveness of the recovery and reconstitution efforts and minimizing system outage time due to errors and omissions.
AWS maintains a ubiquitous security control environment across all regions. Each data centre is built to physical, environmental, and security standards in an active-active configuration, employing an n+1 redundancy model, ensuring system availability in the event of component failure. Components (N) have at least one independent backup component. All data centres are online and serving traffic. In case of failure, there is sufficient capacity to enable traffic to be load-balanced to the remaining sites.
Customers are responsible for implementing contingency planning, training and testing for their systems hosted on AWS. AWS provides customers with the capability to implement a robust continuity plan, including the utilization of frequent server instance back-ups, data redundancy replication, and the flexibility to place instances and store data within multiple geographic regions across multiple Availability Zones. - Outage reporting

-
AWS’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system controls access to AWS services/resources. No actions are permissible without authentication. IAM facilitates the issuance of access permissions per user/group. MFA is available at no extra cost.
AWS CoudTrail allows you to log, continuously monitor and retain events related to API calls across your AWS infrastructure. - Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
-
IAM provides user access control to AWS services, APIs and specific resources. Other controls include time, originating IP address, SSL use, and whether users authenticated via MFA devices.
API calls to launch/terminate instances, change firewalls, and perform other functions are signed by customers’ Amazon Secret Access Key (either the root AWS Account’s Secret Access Key or the Secret Access key of a user created with AWS IAM). Amazon EC2 API calls cannot be made on customers’ behalf without access to customers’ Secret Access Key.
API calls can be encrypted with TLS/SSL for confidentiality and customers can use TLS/SSL-protected API endpoints. - Access restriction testing frequency
- At least every 6 months
- Management access authentication

- Description of management access authentication
- AWS controls access to systems through authentication that requires a unique user ID and password. AWS systems don't allow actions to be performed without identification or authentication. Remote access requires multi-factor authentication. All remote administrative access attempts are logged and reviewed by the Security team for unauthorized attempts or suspicious activity. Incident response procedure is triggered in case of suspicious activity. AWS employs the concept of least privilege, allowing only the necessary access for users to accomplish their job. User access to AWS systems requires documented approval from authorized personnel.

"AWS Security performs vulnerability scans on the host operating system, web applications, and databases in the AWS environment. Approved 3rd party vendors conduct external assessments (minimum frequency: quarterly). Identified vulnerabilities are monitored and evaluated. Countermeasures are designed and implemented to neutralise known/newly identified vulnerabilities.
AWS Security monitors newsfeeds/vendor sites for patches and receives customer intelligence via http://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/.
AWS customers are responsible for all scanning, penetration testing, file integrity monitoring and intrusion detection for their Amazon EC2 and Amazon ECS instances/ applications. Scans should include customer IP addresses (not AWS endpoints). AWS endpoint testing is part of AWS compliance vulnerability scans. - Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
"AWS deploys (pan-environmental) monitoring devices to collect information on unauthorized intrusion attempts, usage abuse, and network/application bandwidth usage. Devices monitor:
• Port scanning attacks
• Usage (CPU, processes, disk utilization, swap rates, software-error generated losses)
• Application metrics
• Unauthorized connection attempts
Near real-time alerts flag incidents, based on AWS Service/Security Team- set thresholds.
Requests to AWS KMS are logged and visible via the account’s AWS CloudTrail Amazon S3 bucket. Logs provide request information, under which CMK, and identify the AWS resource protected through the CMK use. Log events are visible to customers using AWS CloudTrail in their account. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
-
"AWS adopts a three-phased approach to manage incidents:
1. Activation and Notification Phase
2. Recovery Phase
3. Reconstitution Phase
To ensure the effectiveness of the AWS Incident Management plan, AWS conducts incident response testing, providing excellent coverage for the discovery of defects and failure modes as well as testing the systems for potential customer impact.
The Incident Response Test Plan is executed annually, in conjunction with the Incident Response plan. It includes multiple scenarios, potential vectors of attack, the inclusion of the systems integrator in reporting and coordination and varying reporting/detection avenues.

"Customer environments are logically segregated, preventing users and customers from accessing unassigned resources. Customers maintain full control over their data access. Services which provide virtualized operational environments to customers, ensure that customers are segregated and prevent cross-tenant privilege escalation and information disclosure via hypervisors and instance isolation.
Different instances running on the same physical machine are isolated from each other via the Xen hypervisor. The Amazon EC2 firewall resides within the hypervisor layer, between the physical network interface and the instance's virtual interface. All packets pass through this layer. The physical random-access memory (RAM) is separated using similar mechanisms.

AWS is committed to running our business in the most environmentally friendly way possible. In addition to the environmental benefits inherently associated with running applications in the cloud, AWS has a long-term commitment to achieve 100% renewable energy usage for our global infrastructure footprint. We’ve made a lot of progress on this commitment. In January 2018, AWS achieved 50% renewable energy usage.
To date, we have announced nine new renewable energy projects (three wind farms and six solar farms), and these projects will deliver a total of 2 million MWh of energy annually onto the electric grid powering AWS data centers located in the AWS US East (Ohio) and AWS US East (N. Virginia) Regions. The electricity produced from these projects is enough to power the equivalent of over 190,000 U.S. homes annually, which is approximately the size of the city of Atlanta, Georgia.
More information is available on the AWS and Sustainability page.
AWS introduced its first carbon-neutral region in 2011. Today, AWS offers customers five AWS Regions that are carbon-neutral:
• US West (Oregon)
• AWS GovCloud (US-West)
• EU (Frankfurt)
• EU (Ireland)
• Canada (Central)

Fighting climate change
As part of The Climate Pledge, Amazon—including AWS—is committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 (10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement). As part of this commitment, Amazon is on a path to power its operations with 100% net renewable energy by 2025—five years ahead of their original 2030 commitment. Amazon has over 500 global renewable energy projects and, in 2022, 90% of electricity consumed by Amazon was attributable to renewable energy sources, up from 85% in 2021. In 2022, the electricity consumed in 19 AWS Regions was attributable to 100% net renewable energy. A study by 451 Research found that AWS infrastructure is five times more energy efficient than the average surveyed European enterprise data centre. AWS achieves lower energy use in its data centres through innovation, such as designing cooling systems that reduce energy and water use (https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/environment/the-cloud/water-stewardship), and using real-time sensor data to adapt to changing weather conditions. Additionally, AWS is committed to being water positive by 2030. That means we will return more water to nearby communities and environments than we use in our data centre operations. AWS’s global data centre water usage efficiency (WUE) was 0.19 L/kWh in 2022, a 24% year over year improvement from 0.25 L/kWh in 2021, demonstrating AWS’s leadership in water efficiency among cloud providers. We will include specific and measurable additional social value commitments as part of contracts procured via G-Cloud for customers that require them. These commitments will align with the scope and scale of each contract and each customer’s priorities. Examples of potential commitments include game days, hackathons, immersion days and well-architected reviews to explore ways in which cloud technology can help organisations achieve their sustainability goals.Covid-19 recovery
In support of the COVID-19 response, AWS provided highly scalable and reliable infrastructure capacity, technical support, and AWS services to help customers with their research, remote work and learning, and other solutions to address their needs and the effects this is having on communities and businesses. Examples include hosting the AWS Covid-19 data lake, a centralized repository of up-to-date and curated datasets focused on or related to the spread and characteristics of Covid-19 and helping the NHS to innovate and experiment quickly by funding proof of concepts. In 2021, we launched the AWS Health Equity Initiative as a three-year, $40 million commitment to help solve gaps in health equity. Since then, 229 organizations have contributed innovations to the program to help address disparities in social determinants of health around the world. Having distributed more than $30 million of the original funds, we see even greater potential to support more organizations using the cloud to make a difference in the health and lives of underserved populations. In January 2024, AWS announced an additional $20 million in funding for the Health Equity Initiative, bringing the company’s total commitment to $60 million in cloud credits and technical expertise. We will include specific and measurable additional social value commitments as part of contracts procured via G-Cloud for customers that require them. These commitments will align with the scope and scale of each contract and each customer’s priorities. Examples of potential commitments include access to health equity cloud credits to support a proof of concept application to bridge gaps in health equity.Tackling economic inequality
Since 2010, Amazon has made direct investments in our UK operations of more than £56B. These direct investments raise the economic activity in a given region, and creates a ripple effect through the economy as the firms that supply goods and services to Amazon expand and associated household spending increases. In the past five years Amazon has onboarded more than 3,000 apprentices. More than 100,000 UK SMEs now sell on Amazon, many of which are located outside of London. SMEs based in Manchester, Belfast and Glasgow selling on Amazon recorded some of the highest average annual revenues, surpassing the average annual revenue of London-based sellers. Amazon also provides small business owners, start-ups and entrepreneurs with tools and opportunities to succeed, like the Amazon Small Business Accelerator. We also offer the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator, an equity-free programme supporting start-ups who are driving sustainable innovation. We’re here to help entrepreneurs to grow their skills and scale their businesses so they can maximise their climate impact. We provide training and support for educational attainment through schemes including AWS Academy, which helps prepare students for industry-recognized certifications and careers in the cloud, AWS Educate, which provides hundreds of hours of free self-paced training and resources, AWS Training and Certification, which helps to build and validate skills, and AWS re/Start which prepares unemployed and underemployed individuals for cloud careers through classroom-based training. We will include specific and measurable additional social value commitments as part of contracts procured via G-Cloud for customers that require them. These commitments will be aligned with the scope and scale of each contract and each customer’s priorities. Examples include enabling access to AWS Activate, AWS Academy, and AWS Educate, provision of AWS Training and Certification courses to enable skills development, and coordinating employability sessions and mentorship.Equal opportunity
As part of our Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility leadership principle, Amazon supports initiatives that reduce barriers to entry for entrepreneurs and young learners exploring STEM education. AWS has invested $50 million to support the creation of STEM-focused programs at AWS and partner organisations and announced our intent to help 29 million people around the world grow their technical skills with free cloud computing training by 2025. For example, AWS re/Start is a cohort-based workforce development training program that prepares individuals for careers in the cloud and connects them to potential employers. A technology background is not required to apply. The program is free to the learner and focused on helping unemployed or underemployed individuals launching a new career. AWS re/Start’s collaborating organizations support underrepresented groups, minorities, displaced individuals, young people, and more. Our programmes also reach young learners to inspire the next generation of talent, and to ensure that learners from all backgrounds have the opportunity to access STEM education. For example, AWS GetIT is a fully-funded, flexible educational programme that helps students consider a future career in tech. With AWS GetIT, you will help your students learn human and digital skills as they learn what it takes to design an app, work together to create an app idea, and meet professionals in tech. We will include specific and measurable social value commitments as part of contracts procured via G-Cloud for customers that require them. These commitments will be aligned with the scope and scale of each contract and each customer’s priorities. Examples of potential commitments include enabling access to training and support for organisations working to support under-represented groups or provide resources to digitally excluded individuals.Wellbeing
AWS is committed to providing the support, benefits, and opportunities its employees need to be successful. AWS offers employees access to benefits to support physical and financial well-being, including access to healthcare coverage and long-term savings plans. Additionally, employees around the world and their eligible dependents have access to an Employee Assistance Programme that provides mental health support 24 hours a day. AWS gives quarterly Well-Being Days for the Public Sector organisation within AWS, where employees are encouraged to spend the day volunteering, enhancing well-being skills through freely available trainings, or do other wellness activities like meditate or exercise. Further, we have a UK-based Health and Well-Being Affinity Group, which raises awareness of what mental health is and bring attention to what resources exist to support employees and their families. Our leadership principles describe how Amazon does business and we demonstrate the leadership principles through our actions every day. One of our leadership principles, Strive to Be Earth's Best Employer, encapsulates our focus on ensuring a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment Our global teams work closely with suppliers to communicate our standards and help suppliers build capacity to provide working environments that are safe and respectful of human rights. We routinely evaluate our supply chain to understand the highest risks to workers and prioritise our efforts. Our supply chain standards can be found here: https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/amazon-supply-chain-standards-english.pdf We will include specific and measurable additional social value commitments as part of contracts procured via G-Cloud for customers that require them. These commitments will align with the scope and scale of each contract and each customer’s priorities. Examples of potential social value commitments include hosting immersion days and events, holding webinars, and providing local grants to organisations focused on promoting health and wellbeing.
