Security and compliance
AWS allows for rules-based, automated compliance and allows credit unions to address a number of compliance and regulatory requirements including Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Automated Cybersecurity Examination Tool (ACET). At the organization level, you can create rules regarding how your AWS infrastructure can be provisioned and configured throughout your agency. When you are creating infrastructure for a particular project, you can create reusable templates that allow you to have a consistent environment for development, testing, production, and validation activities. Once deployed, AWS has tools to continually test, monitor, and log events that occur. You can use these tools to rapidly detect deviations from corporate policy and sound alarms when they occur.
