Announcing the common control library in AWS Audit Manager

The article summarizes the introduction of a new common control library feature in AWS Audit Manager that simplifies automating risk and compliance assessments against enterprise controls.

Specifically, the article covers:

• The new common control library provides pre-defined and pre-mapped AWS data sources for evidence collection, eliminating the need to identify resources manually.
• It defines AWS-managed common controls based on mapping by certified auditors and delivers more evidence mappings for controls, including 140 new API calls.
• It reduces the need to implement different compliance requirements individually by identifying common requirements across controls.
• Customers automatically inherit improvements like new data sources or compliance framework mappings added by AWS.
• The feature is available in all AWS regions where Audit Manager is available.
