Head of AWS Global Security & Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) Program Amazon Web Services, United States
As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption, they face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape spanning cybersecurity, operational resilience, and artificial intelligence governance across multiple jurisdictions. This session provides a comprehensive framework for mapping controls across major global regulatory requirements—including NIS2, DORA, ISO 42001, FedRAMP, CMMC, C5, IRAP, Cyber Essentials Plus, CCCS, Cloud Security Alliance guidelines, NIST AI frameworks, and the EU AI Act—within AWS environments using Security by Design principles enhanced with AI-powered automation.
Attendees will learn practical strategies for:
Understanding regulatory convergence: How EU mandates (NIS2, DORA, EU AI Act), government frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC, C5, IRAP, Cyber Essentials Plus, CCCS), and international standards overlap and diverge in their requirements.
Implementing Security by Design + AI: Embedding security controls from the infrastructure foundation through intelligent automation, leveraging AI to continuously monitor, detect, and respond to compliance gaps across multiple frameworks simultaneously.
Building unified control frameworks with partner integrations: Creating a single control architecture that satisfies multiple compliance mandates through strategic partnerships with SecureIT, Aligned Technology Group (ATG), DuploCloud, Cloud Storage Security (CSS), LNine, and Compliance Blueprints to deliver comprehensive security, compliance automation, and infrastructure optimization across the entire AWS environment.
Mapping controls efficiently: Using the Cloud Security Alliance matrix and NIST frameworks to identify common control objectives across 12+ regulatory frameworks, accelerated through AI-driven control analysis and gap identification
Building AI governance: Aligning ISO 42001 and EU AI Act requirements with AWS AI/ML services while meeting government security baselines, leveraging Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Bedrock Guardrails, and Amazon Comprehend for compliant AI deployment.
Implementing responsible AI controls: Using Bedrock Guardrails for content filtering, PII redaction with Amazon Comprehend, and SageMaker Model Monitor for bias detection and transparency requirements—all integrated into the Security by Design framework.
Achieving multi-jurisdiction compliance: Strategies for organizations operating across federal, defense, financial, and critical infrastructure sectors, with partner-validated architectures for each regulatory context.
Reducing compliance overhead: Avoiding redundant controls through intelligent mapping, AWS native security services, and AI-powered continuous compliance monitoring that adapts to regulatory changes in real-time.
Through real-world examples and architectural patterns featuring partner integrations, this session demonstrates how organizations can transform regulatory complexity into a strategic advantage. By combining Security by Design principles with AI-enabled automation and proven partner solutions, attendees will learn to build resilient, compliant and future-proof cloud infrastructure that meets requirements from Washington to Canberra, Brussels to Ottawa.
Target Audience: Cloud architects, compliance officers, CISOs, risk managers, GRC professionals, and IT leaders responsible for multi-jurisdictional regulatory compliance in AWS environments.
Key Takeaways: Universal control mapping methodology enhanced by AI, Security by Design implementation patterns, AWS compliance automation strategies with partner integrations, jurisdiction-specific architectural blueprints, and a practical roadmap for managing 12+ frameworks simultaneously through intelligent automation.
