FAQ
The AWS FTR is a self-service review that checks whether your AWS environment follows foundational best practices for security, reliability, and operational excellence. AWS Partners complete it to qualify for benefits like the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, AWS Competency Program, and the AWS Qualified Software badge.
With structured tooling and automation, most teams spend about 40–80 hours preparing for the FTR. Without guidance, the process can take weeks or months. Your timeline depends on your AWS environment, existing security controls, and overall environment complexity.
The AWS FTR is a self-attestation—not a formal third-party audit. You assess your environment against AWS requirements and submit your responses through AWS Partner Central. AWS reviews your submission and may request additional information or evidence before approving it.
You submit your FTR through AWS Partner Central. Vanta helps you prepare by automating evidence collection, managing tests and documentation, and tracking your progress. Once you've completed the required work in Vanta, you can export your evidence and submit your self-attestation to AWS.
Yes. Vanta lets you track the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and AWS FTR requirements in one place, so you don't have to cross-reference AWS Security Hub. Vanta's automated tests map to both, giving you a single view of your AWS security posture and readiness.
Vanta integrates with more than 40 AWS services, including AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, IAM, Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon EKS, and Amazon Inspector. These integrations power about 140 automated tests that continuously collect evidence and validate controls mapped to AWS FTR requirements.
