Retrospective edition: 2026-07-01. Source published: 2026-07-01. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

Announced in July 2026, Assurance Assistant helps compliance and security professionals accelerate assessments by providing sourced responses to vendor-related questions. It supports individual queries or bulk uploads of standard due diligence questionnaires (DDQs) such as CAIQ and SIG, returning answers with citations from verified AWS compliance reports and certifications.

This capability improves transparency and efficiency in vendor risk management by allowing users to verify answers against source materials independently. It integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management for access control and is available free in all AWS commercial Regions, accessible globally via the AWS Artifact console.
