This accreditation specifically covers Official-Sensitive data, demonstrating AWS's ongoing commitment to security standards required by UK law enforcement customers.
PASF Accreditation Details
The PASF program is an established assurance process used by UK law enforcement to verify the security of facilities, such as data centers, that host critical business applications handling police data. The process involves a control set of security requirements, an on-site inspection, and an audit interview with facility representatives.
Continued Support for UK Law Enforcement
With this renewal, UK law enforcement customers who require PASF can confidently continue to run their applications within the PASF-accredited Europe (London) Region. The Police Digital Service (PDS) confirmed the accreditation renewal for AWS on May 28, 2026. Confirmation of compliance status is available through the Police Digital Service and on AWS Artifact.
