AWS Shared Responsibility Model
| Area | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| User Data | Organisation |
| Application | Organisation |
| Guest OS | Organisation |
| Hypervisor | AWS |
| Network | AWS |
| Physical | AWS |
The top three areas User Data, Application and Guest OS are all the responsibility of the organisation using AWS. Typically you would think of these three areas as the EC2 service. Below these areas organisation data is not visible to AWS which helps to ensure that your customer data is protected.
AWS Compliance
The areas of the Shared Responsibility Model that are not visible to the organisation using AWS are regularly checked as part of compliance.
