What is AWS Artifact?

AWS Artifact provides on-demand downloads of AWS security and compliance documents. For example, reports on compliance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards, and System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports. AWS Artifact also provides downloads of certifications from accreditation bodies that validate the implementation and operating effectiveness of AWS security controls.

With AWS Artifact, you can also download security and compliance documents for independent software vendors (ISVs) who sell their products on AWS Marketplace. For more information, see AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights.

Additionally, you can use AWS Artifact to review, accept, and track the status of your agreements with AWS for your AWS account and for multiple AWS accounts in your organization. For more information about agreements in AWS Artifact, see Managing agreements in AWS Artifact.

To demonstrate the security and compliance of the AWS infrastructure and services that you use, you can submit AWS Artifact documents to your auditors or regulators as audit artifacts. You can also use these audit artifacts as guidelines to evaluate your own cloud architecture and to assess the effectiveness of your company's internal controls. For more information about audit artifacts, see AWS Artifact FAQs.

Note

AWS customers are responsible for developing or obtaining documents that demonstrate the security and compliance of their companies. For more information, see Shared Responsibility Model.
