ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are essential information security standards for businesses like yours that rely on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). If you handle sensitive data, customer information, or personally identifiable information (PII) in the cloud, achieving compliance isn’t just a recommendation — it’s critical for building and maintaining client trust.
Trusted cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) can simplify and accelerate your path to certification. Discover how migrating to AWS can support your ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance goals — and how experts like WOLK can guide you every step of the way.
AWS Pre-Certified Infrastructure
Migrating your business data to Amazon Web Services (AWS) means using a platform renowned for its commitment to data security. With globally recognised certifications, AWS ensures its hardware and services meet the highest standards for protecting sensitive information.
Through the AWS Compliance Program, AWS adheres to a wide range of security frameworks, simplifying audits and providing a secure foundation for your data. Fully certified for ISO 27001 and SOC 2, among others, AWS enables your organisation to easily and confidently meet compliance requirements.
AWS Shared Responsibility: Your Part of the Compliance Process
While AWS hardware and connectivity comply with numerous security frameworks, your business data is only as safe as your own data security practices. To fully complete your migration to AWS, your organisation must understand and adhere to the Shared Responsibility principles.
Amazon Web Services guarantees security and compliance of the hardware, infrastructure, and services needed to run them—security of the cloud. Your organisation is responsible for ensuring compliance with security frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2—security in the cloud. It includes:
- All data you store on AWS hardware, including encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit
- Your applications, software, and identity and access management credentials
- The operating systems and network settings you configure on AWS services
How an Assisted AWS Migration Can Save You Time
Achieving ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance on your own can take up to 18 months of work, most of which will be spent setting up infrastructure, implementing data security controls, and documenting all processes.
Migrating to AWS with the help of an expert like WOLK can cut this process to as short as three months. On top of AWS infrastructure being pre-certified, AWS specialists can help you navigate security services like AWS IAM, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty to implement all necessary data security to achieve compliance.
