AuditManager

AuditManager is a cloud-based service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to help customers continuously audit their AWS usage to simplify risk and compliance assessment. It automates the evidence collection process for various compliance frameworks, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more. By integrating with AWS Config, CloudTrail, and Security Hub, AuditManager gathers relevant logs, configurations, and resource data.

The service allows users to map these collected artifacts to specific controls within a chosen compliance framework. This mapping helps in demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements. AuditManager provides a centralized dashboard where users can review the collected evidence, assess the status of their controls, and generate reports. These reports can be used for internal audits and to satisfy external auditors.

Key features of AuditManager include automated evidence collection, pre-built templates for common compliance standards, and the ability to customize controls and frameworks. It aims to reduce the manual effort associated with audits, making compliance management more efficient and less resource-intensive. The service helps organizations maintain a strong security posture and meet their regulatory obligations by providing a structured and automated approach to auditing.
