Security, risk, and compliance
The security, risk, and compliance workstream defines a structured approach to help you build confidence in AWS. It also enables foundational security, risk, and compliance capabilities that can accelerate your readiness and planning for a migration project. The delivery approach is built on the AWS CAF security perspective and provides more detailed guidance for security teams who are preparing for a migration of business workloads to AWS. This workstream leverages the concept of a virtual data center to address minimum baseline security and compliance controls. The virtual data center is intended to be constructed through an agile development process using one or more cloud security delivery teams.
