AWS provides an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) report for specific AWS services to assist companies in achieving Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance in the cloud. This report demonstrates that AWS services meet the necessary PCI DSS requirements. AWS does not offer physical inspections of data centers by appointment, nor does it provide certifications for any application running on AWS. Additionally, AWS does not provide professional PCI compliance services; companies must manage their PCI compliance in their environment.
