We’re pleased to announce the completion of our annual Outsourced Service Provider’s Audit Report (OSPAR) audit cycle on July 1, 2023. The 2023 OSPAR certification cycle includes the addition of nine new services in scope, bringing the total number of services in scope to 153 in the AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region.
Newly added services in scope include the following:
Issued by the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS), the Guidelines on Control Objectives and Procedures for Outsourced Service Providers provide baseline control criteria that outsourced service providers (OSPs) operating in Singapore should have in place. Successful completion of the OSPAR assessment demonstrates that AWS has implemented a system of controls that meet the guidelines and our commitment to fulfil the security expectations for cloud service providers set by the financial services industry in Singapore.
Customers can use the OSPAR assessment to conduct due diligence and to help reduce the effort and costs required for compliance. An independent third-party auditor, selected from the ABS list of approved auditors, performs the OSPAR assessment.
You can download the latest OSPAR report from AWS Artifact, a self-service portal for on-demand access to AWS compliance reports. Sign in to AWS Artifact in the AWS Management Console, or learn more at Getting Started with AWS Artifact. The list of services in scope for OSPAR is available in the report, and is also available on the AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program webpage.
As always, we’re committed to bringing new services into the scope of our OSPAR program based on your architectural, business, and regulatory needs. If you have questions about the OSPAR report, contact your AWS account team.
