AWS' Nitro System, the underlying platform for all AWS compute instances, has been independently audited by cybersecurity consulting firm NCC Group, which found "no gaps in the Nitro System that would compromise AWS security claims".
The Nitro System's unique architecture protects customer data during processing and ensures that neither operators nor services from AWS can access data when it is in use in an Amazon EC2 instance.
The NCC report validates AWS' assurances that there is no mechanism for cloud-service employees to access customer content on the underlying host.
