Companies in industries such as financial services and healthcare are held to strict regulatory compliance requirements (e.g. SOC2, GDPR, PCI and HIPAA / HITRUST). These measures help to ensure sensitive information is protected. However, the practices required to stay in compliance can add a lot of overhead to already overworked IT operations teams. Manual governance steps also slows down the rate at which developers can push production software updates, increasing corporations and engineering costs.

The good news is that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and PagerDuty help optimize security and compliance in IT operations through automation as part of DevOps. For technical teams, this means automating and streamlining compliance processes like compliance for due diligence and separation of concerns and verification—without sacrificing quality.

Key Takeaways:

• PagerDuty Process Automation makes it easier to automate governance with generalized technical controls for authentication and authorization, access control and audit trails.
• Companies in high-compliance industries can simplify security and compliance with PagerDuty Process Automation and AWS.
• AWS provides resilient global cloud infrastructure and services high-compliance industries that need to differentiate themselves, all while ensuring they have the proper tools and resources to create a compliant and secure environment on AWS.
