Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces general availability of cross-account safeguards

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails Enhancements

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails now enables centralized enforcement of safety controls across all AWS accounts within an organization through cross-account safeguards. These safeguards help block up to 88% of harmful multimodal content from both input prompts and model responses, while filtering hallucinated responses from foundation models.

Central security teams and administrators can now automatically implement these controls for all foundation model interactions in Amazon Bedrock across their organization, eliminating the operational overhead of manually configuring guardrails for each account.

What to do

• Specify a guardrail ID from your management account in a new Amazon Bedrock policy to enforce configured safeguards across all member entities including organizational units (OUs) and individual accounts for all model invocations with Amazon Bedrock.
• Implement organization-level enforcement for uniform baseline protection, account-level controls for specific departmental requirements, and application-specific safeguards that complement organizational policies.
• Access this capability through the AWS management console or using the supported APIs.

Organizational safeguards in Amazon Bedrock Guardrails is now available in all AWS commercial and GovCloud regions where Bedrock Guardrails is supported.
