European Sovereign Cloud Accelerator for AWS

The ESC Compliance Accelerator is designed for cloud-based service providers and ISVs that want to operate within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud but may lack local resources and personnel in the EU. It’s particularly valuable for organizations looking to expand into the European market, serve regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, public sector), or meet the compliance demands of EU customers without building an in-house compliance team from scratch.

This is a comprehensive bundled solution in the AWS Marketplace designed to help organizations streamline their security, compliance, and risk management processes within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

This AWS Global Security & Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) Marketplace solution combines automated risk assessments, policy management, continuous monitoring, auto-remediation, and reporting, helping Cloud Service Providers achieve and maintain compliance with major European regulatory frameworks faster and with less operational burden.
