<a name="acc-sec-best-practice"></a>

AMS Accelerate uses conformance packs, which provide a general-purpose compliance framework designed to enable you to create security, operational, or cost-optimization governance checks using managed or custom AWS Config Rules and AWS Config remediation actions. For information on how to best configure these conformance packs, see AWS Config's [Operational Best Practices for NIST CSF](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/operational-best-practices-for-nist-csf.html) and [Operational Best Practices for CIS Top 20](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/operational-best-practices-for-cis_top_20.html).
