Personnel security requirements for third-party providers supporting
AWS systems and devices are established in a Mutual Non-Disclosure
Agreement between AWS’ parent organization, Amazon.com, and the
respective third-party provider. The Amazon Legal Counsel and the
AWS Procurement team define AWS third party provider personnel
security requirements in contract agreements with the third party
provider. All persons working with AWS information must at a
minimum, meet the screening process for pre-employment background
checks and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to being
granted access to AWS information.
AWS does not generally outsource development of AWS services to
subcontractors.
