Some of the regulations that AWS Compliance Programs are compliant with include:

1. ISO 27001: This is an internationally recognized information security management standard that specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system within the context of the organization.

2. HIPAA: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. AWS provides a HIPAA Eligible Services Reference which outlines how AWS services can be leveraged to create HIPAA-compliant applications.

3. SOC 1/2/3: AWS has successfully completed multiple SOC assessments confirming that AWS controls are effectively designed to meet the control objectives stated in the relevant Trust Services Criteria. SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 reports are available to customers upon request.

These regulations are put in place to ensure the security, privacy, and data protection of sensitive information, such as personal health information or financial data. By complying with these regulations, AWS demonstrates its commitment to providing a secure and compliant cloud computing environment for its customers.
