AWS Artifact enables access to previous versions of compliance reports

AWS Artifact now enables direct access to previous versions of AWS compliance reports, eliminating the need to contact AWS Support or account representatives. This self-service capability helps customers efficiently manage their compliance documentation requirements, particularly during audits and vendor assessments that require historical compliance evidence.

To access previous report versions, you need the "artifact:ListReportVersions" IAM permission, which is included in the AWS managed policy "AWSArtifactReportsReadOnlyAccess". If you're unable to view previous versions of reports in the AWS Artifact console, please contact your AWS account administrator to request this permission.

Once authorized, you can access previous versions of compliance reports (such as SOC, ISO, and C5) directly through the AWS Artifact console. Simply navigate to the reports page and select any report to view its available versions. The availability of previous report versions varies by compliance program, with some reports offering versions from multiple prior years while others may have more limited historical coverage.

This feature is now generally available in US East (N. Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.
