Selling Partner API Guard

Guard is a serverless application that scans Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts to assess security compliance with Amazon’s Data Protection Policy. It leverages custom scan rules built with AWS Security services to look for security gaps, and then returns a findings report with clear remediation recommendations after 24 hours.

Guard is a fantastic compliance tool for the Amazon Selling Partner Audit. It only takes a few minutes to set up and connect to your AWS infrastructure. Before we started using Guard, we were paying for several third party tools to stay in compliance with Amazon policy. Now, Guard ensures that we’re in compliance with a fraction of the effort and cost.
