Recommended Actions

  1. Obtain AWS compliance reports via the [AWS Artifact portal](https://aws.amazon.com/artifact/) — this self-service portal provides on-demand access to SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 certificates, PCI DSS Attestations of Compliance, and FedRAMP documentation. Download the most recent SOC 2 Type II report and ISO 27001 certificate and retain them with this assessment report for your audit file.
  2. Document your Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs) if AWS is within your SOC 2 audit boundary. AWS's SOC 2 report specifies controls that AWS implements and controls that customers are expected to implement (e.g., IAM least privilege, MFA enforcement, CloudTrail logging). Request the AWS SOC 2 report from Artifact, review Appendix A (CUECs), and map each control to your internal implementation evidence.
  3. Activate the Amazon Organizations AI services opt-out policy if your data handling policies require it. Log into your AWS Organizations management account, navigate to Policies > AI services opt-out policies, and apply the opt-out to your organization or specific accounts. Document the activation date and retain as a data governance record.

Is Amazon Web Services safe to use as a vendor?+
Amazon Web Services is a cloud infrastructure vendor that handles organizational workloads and data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire.

Has Amazon Web Services had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly cloud infrastructure platforms like Amazon Web Services that handle organizational workloads and data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is Amazon Web Services on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for cloud infrastructure vendors. ThirdProof screens Amazon Web Services against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Amazon Web Services or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Amazon Web Services for vendor risk?+
Assessing Amazon Web Services as a cloud infrastructure vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

Amazon Web Services is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates Amazon Web Services across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
