AWS has received accreditation from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) will enable organisations to store 
and process sensitive data in the Amazon Web Services Sydney region. 

Besides AWS, other cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure and Dimension Data’s Protected Government Cloud, have earned the same certification in the ACSC’s certified cloud services list (CCSL), which aims to streamline procurement of cloud services and provide certainty to agencies on the status of certifications.

The certifications will assure Australian government agencies that services in the CCSL will meet stringent Australian government security requirements.
