What is AWS GovCloud?

RESOURCES > GLOSSARY

AWS GovCloud Definition

Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) region was created to meet the specific security, compliance, and regulatory requirements of US government agencies, defense contractors, and businesses operating in highly regulated sectors, such as manufacturing. It ensures compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG), and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) for varying impact levels. It offers a secure, isolated environment to process and store sensitive Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

With AWS GovCloud, defense manufacturers can exploit cloud technologies while meeting strict compliance criteria. Manufacturers that interact directly or indirectly with the government have the infrastructure needed to support handling sensitive data. This enables supply chain management, product development, and manufacturing operations to be more innovative and agile within a safe and legal cloud ecosystem.

AWS GovCloud Enhances PLM and QMS in Regulated Industries.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solutions in regulated aerospace and defense industries are greatly impacted by AWS GovCloud (US). PLM and QMS solutions offered on the AWS GovCloud platform give businesses the ability to manage a product’s whole lifecycle—from conception to design, manufacture, servicing, and disposal—while maintaining regulatory compliance by providing a safe and compliant cloud environment.

AWS GovCloud: Revolutionizing PLM with Secure Collaboration and Compliance

AWS GovCloud offers PLM a strong infrastructure that meets the intricate data management and teamwork requirements necessary for creating, manufacturing, and sustaining products. It makes it easier to work securely together on design projects and share and store large data while maintaining compliance with FedRAMP and ITAR laws for the protection of sensitive product data. This makes it possible for producers and their suppliers to guarantee product conformity and quality, shorten time-to-market, and expedite the product development process.

Enhancing QMS with AWS GovCloud: Ensuring Compliance and Quality Excellence

Regarding QMS, AWS GovCloud provides a scalable platform for implementing apps that support upholding high standards for all products and procedures. Utilizing AWS GovCloud, businesses can set up and oversee QMS programs that keep an eye on compliance, quality assurance, and ongoing development. Quality-related data may be securely gathered, stored, and analyzed in a cloud environment, which makes it easier to manage quality measurements, audit trails, and compliance reporting. This guarantees that companies can uphold the highest levels of quality and compliance as mandated by government contracts and regulatory authorities.
