GSCA Expansion
AWS has expanded its Global Security and Compliance Accleration (GSCA) program to eight countries.
The program aids partners in satisfying regulatory, compliance and security requirements. It provides guidance at no cost and a stable of experts.
As of May, partners could leverage the GCSA in four countries: the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. Now it also touches France, Singapore, New Zealand and Spain.
Jeff Kratz, general manager of worldwide public sector partners at AWS, said the expansion stemmed directly from customer feedback.
“Public sector customers are looking for partners they can trust to secure data and build secure applications and processes. The GSCA program identifies partners in regions across the globe that have a core competency and capability to both support and accelerate AWS customers in their journeys to meet various public and private sector regulations and compliance frameworks,” Kratz told Channel Futures.
The program formerly went as ATO on AWS.
Non-U.S. partners leveraging the program include CyberCX in Australia and New Zealand, Euris in France, Horangi in Singapore, T-Systems in Spain and 6point6 in the U.K.
