Answer

Download AWS compliance documents such as SOC and ISO reports directly from the AWS Artifact console, and accept the required AWS agreements, such as non-disclosure agreements, directly within AWS Artifact.
To verify AWS physical security controls, the customer must access AWS compliance documents (such as Service Organization Control (SOC) and ISO reports) which are available on-demand in AWS Artifact. To access these documents, the customer must accept the associated AWS agreements and non-disclosure terms, which can be done directly through the AWS Artifact portal.

SOC and ISO reports contain the audit evidence for AWS physical infrastructure security.
3
Determine how the company can accept the required non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to access the documents.
