Compliance validation for the Amazon CLI
Third-party auditors assess the security and compliance of Amazon services as part of multiple Amazon compliance programs. Using the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) to access a service does not alter that service's compliance.
For a list of Amazon services in scope of specific compliance programs, see Amazon Services in Scope
by Compliance Program
You can download third-party audit reports using the Amazon Artifact. For more
