AWS Audit Manager enhances evidence collection for better compliance insights

AWS Audit Manager has updated 14 standard compliance frameworks to improve evidence collection and provide better compliance insights.

• Enhanced evidence collection for frameworks like SOC 2 and PCI DSS v4.0
• Streamlines number of findings and potentially reduces compliance assessment costs
• Cost reduction varies based on AWS resources, frameworks, and control overlaps
• For assessments created on or after June 6th, 2024, no action is required
• For older assessments, users should create new assessments to receive updates

The update aims to help customers meet compliance requirements more efficiently while optimizing their audit and compliance processes.
