AWS Artifact enables access to previous versions of compliance reports

AWS Artifact Release Notes

AWS Artifact now enables direct access to previous versions of AWS compliance reports, eliminating the need to contact AWS Support or account representatives. This self-service capability helps customers efficiently manage their compliance documentation requirements, particularly during audits and vendor assessments that require historical compliance evidence.

What to do

• Ensure you have the "artifact:ListReportVersions" IAM permission, included in the "AWSArtifactReportsReadOnlyAccess" policy.
• Request this permission from your AWS account administrator if not already granted.
• Access previous versions of compliance reports through the AWS Artifact console.

The availability of previous report versions varies by compliance program, with some reports offering versions from multiple prior years while others may have more limited historical coverage.

This feature is now generally available in US East (N. Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.
