Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce the successful completion of our Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) and Three Domain Secure (3DS) certifications. As part of this renewal, we have expanded the scope to include three additional AWS services and one additional AWS Region:

Newly added AWS services:

• Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
• AWS Parallel Computing Service
• AWS Skill Builder

Newly added AWS Region:

• Asia Pacific – New Zealand

This certification means that customers can use these services while maintaining PCI DSS and PCI 3DS compliance, enabling innovation without compromising security. The full list of services can be found on the AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program page.

The PCI DSS and PCI 3DS compliance packages include two key components for each certification:

• Attestation of Compliance (AOC) – demonstrates that AWS was successfully validated against the PCI DSS and PCI 3DS standards.
• AWS Responsibility Summary – provides guidance to help AWS customers understand their responsibility in developing and operating a highly secure environment on AWS for handling payment card data.

AWS was evaluated by Coalfire, a third-party Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).

This refreshed certification offers customers greater flexibility in deploying regulated workloads while reducing compliance overhead. Customers can access the PCI DSS and PCI 3DS report packages through AWS Artifact. This self-service portal provides on-demand access to AWS compliance reports, streamlining audit processes.

To learn more about our PCI programs and other compliance and security programs, see the AWS Compliance Programs page.

As always, we value your feedback and questions; reach out to the AWS Compliance team through the Compliance Support page.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce the successful completion of Payment Card Industry Personal Identification Number (PCI PIN) and PCI Point-to-Point Encryption (PCI P2PE) assessments for the AWS Payment Cryptography service. This assessment expands the AWS Payment Cryptography compliance portfolio, with AWS now validated as a component provider for Key Management (KMCP) and Key Loading (KLCP) in addition to the existing Decryption Management (DMCP) attestation, and extends PCI PIN and P2PE coverage to the South America (São Paulo) and Asia Pacific (Sydney) AWS Regions.

With Payment Cryptography, your payment processing applications can use payment hardware security modules (HSMs) that are PCI PIN Transaction Security (PTS) HSM certified and fully managed by AWS, with PCI PIN and P2PE-compliant key management. These attestations give you the flexibility to deploy your regulated workloads with reduced compliance overhead.

The PCI P2PE Decryption Component enables payment applications to use AWS to decrypt credit card transactions from payment terminals, and PCI PIN attestation is required for applications that process PIN-based debit transactions. The PCI P2PE Key Management and Key Loading Component attestations enable applications to use AWS for physical key exchange and to support key management use cases including key injection. To learn more about the new Physical Key Exchange feature, see the AWS What’s New announcement. With these capabilities, AWS Payment Cryptography enables customers to manage cryptographic keys in accordance with PCI standards and industry best practices, reducing the operational burden of maintaining compliant key management infrastructure.

The PCI PIN and PCI P2PE compliance packages for AWS Payment Cryptography includes the following reports:

• PCI PIN Attestation of Compliance (AOC) – Demonstrates that AWS Payment Cryptography was successfully validated against the PCI PIN standard with zero findings
• PCI PIN Responsibility Summary – Provides guidance to help AWS customers understand their responsibilities in developing and operating a highly secure environment for handling PIN-based transactions
• PCI P2PE DMCP Attestation of Validation (AOV) – Demonstrates that AWS Payment Cryptography was successfully validated against the requirements for a PCI P2PE Decryption Management System with zero findings
• PCI P2PE KMCP Attestation of Validation (AOV) – Demonstrates that AWS Payment Cryptography was successfully validated against the requirements for a PCI P2PE Key Management Component Provider with zero findings
• PCI P2PE KLCP Attestation of Validation (AOV) – Demonstrates that AWS Payment Cryptography was successfully validated against the requirements for a PCI P2PE Key Loading Component Provider with zero findings
• P2PE Component User’s Guide and Annual Component Report – Describes the AWS Payment Cryptography service assessment scope as a PCI P2PE Decryption Component, Key Loading Component, and Key Management Component and illustrates PCI P2PE compliance responsibilities for both the service and customers using the service for point-to-point encryption processing

AWS was evaluated by Coalfire, a third-party Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). Customers can access the PCI PIN Attestation of Compliance (AOC) report, the PCI PIN Shared Responsibility Summary, the PCI P2PE Attestation of Validation, and P2PE Decryption Component User’s Guide and Annual Decryption Component Report through AWS Artifact.
