What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 sets the benchmark for information security practices, encompassing risk management, data protection, access controls, and more. It establishes a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, safeguarding its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Achieving ISO 27001 Compliance on AWS
AWS's Shared Responsibility Model
AWS operates on a shared responsibility model where both AWS and customers have defined security responsibilities. Understand this model as a foundational step.
Automated Compliance Management
Tools like Terraform and AWS CloudFormation automate deployment and configuration management. By combining these with compliance automation tooling such as Vanta ensures consistent compliance with ISO 27001 controls.
Monitoring and Auditing
Use services such as AWS CloudTrail, AWS GuardDuty, AWS Control Tower to monitor, log, and report on activities within your AWS environment. These services enhance visibility, aiding in ISO 27001's monitoring and logging mandates.
ISO 27001 compliance isn't just a regulatory checkbox; it's a commitment to safeguarding sensitive information in a dynamic digital landscape.
