Change request security reviews

The AWS Managed Services change request review process ensures that AMS performs a security review of the requested changes as they are implemented on your behalf in your account.

AMS Accelerate technical standards define the minimum security criteria, configurations, and processes to establish the baseline security of your accounts. When AMS implements the requested changes, we follow these standards.

AMS evaluates all change requests against the AMS technical standards. Any change that might lower your account's security posture by deviating from the technical standards goes through a security review process. During this process, relevant risk is highlighted by AMS and reviewed and approved by your authorised risk approver to balance security and business needs.
