Security in Amazon Secrets Manager

Security at Amazon is the highest priority. As an Amazon customer, you benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations.

You and Amazon share the responsibility for security. The shared responsibility model describes this as security of the cloud and security in the cloud:

  • Security of the cloud – Amazon is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs Amazon services in the Amazon Cloud. Amazon also provides you with services you can use securely. Third-party auditors regularly test and verify the effectiveness of our security as part of the Amazon Compliance Programs. To learn about the compliance programs that apply to Amazon Secrets Manager, see Amazon Services in Scope by Compliance Program.

  • Security in the cloud – Your Amazon service determines your responsibility. You are also responsible for other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your company’s requirements, and applicable laws and regulations.
