Compliance

AWS Startup Security Baseline (AWS SSB) Pack
The AWS SSB provides a set of controls as a minimum foundation for organizations to build securely on AWS while maintaining agility. Resmo brought together AWS SSB controls in one place, making them more visible, easy to monitor, and actionable.
AWS Partner Hosted Foundational Technical Review Pack
The Foundational Technical Review ('FTR') checks an AWS Partner's solutions against a set of AWS best practices around security, performance, and operational processes critical for customer success. Resmo automates and simplifies the process for you, providing:
- Compliance score
- Change overview
- Info on which controls fail or pass
- Remediation recommendations
Compliance tab on Resource detail pages

We've added a Compliance tab on Resource Detail pages so that you can quickly overview all compliant and non-compliant rules related to a specific resource at a single glance.
Compliance status column
You'll see a compliance status column next to resources. This column makes it easier and faster to identify non-compliant resources.
Manual comment entry
Resmo provides a manual control type, allowing you to mark pack controls as applicable or not, depending on your system. With the latest pack updates, you can also enter comments to manual controls, i.e., in order to:
- Add links
- Document reasons for being applicable or inapplicable
- Provide evidence
