AWS GovCloud (US) Regions are AWS’ isolated infrastructure and services designed to host sensitive data, regulated workloads, and address the most stringent U.S. government security and compliance requirements.

AWS GovCloud (US) Regions give U.S. government customers and U.S. regulated commercial companies the flexibility to architect cloud solutions that comply with: Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High baselines, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Department of Defense Cloud (DoD) Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) for Impact Levels 2/4/5, Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS), and other compliance regimes. From Personally Identifiable Information (PII), sensitive patient medical records, and financial data to law enforcement data, export controlled data and other forms of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), AWS GovCloud (US) Regions can help customers address compliance at every stage of their cloud journey.

- Meet compliance mandates: AWS GovCloud (US) enables customers to adhere to ITAR regulations, the FedRAMP requirements, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), DoD (SRG) Impact Levels 2 and 4 and 5, and several other security and compliance requirements.
- Safeguard sensitive data: Protect sensitive unclassified data files with server-side encryption in Amazon S3. Store and manage security keys yourself with AWS CloudHSM or use our one-click AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
- Strengthen identity management: Limit access to sensitive data by individual, time, and location and restrict which API calls users are able to make with identity federation, easy key rotation, and other powerful access control testing tools that are available.
- Improve cloud visibility: Audit access and use of sensitive data with your keys in AWS CloudTrail, our API logging service, managed and operated by U.S. citizens.
- Protect accounts and workloads: Secure your AWS accounts and workloads with continuous security monitoring using Amazon GuardDuty. Amazon GuardDuty monitors for malicious or unauthorized behavior, such as unusual API calls or potentially unauthorized deployments, that may indicate a possible account compromise.
