| [Whitepaper updated](#document-revisions) | This version includes substantial changes that include removing the reference information about compliance programs and schemes because this information is available on the [AWS Compliance Programs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/) and [AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/services-in-scope/) webpages. Additionally, we removed the section covering common compliance questions because that information is now available on the [AWS Compliance FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/faq/) webpage. | November 1, 2020 |
