Bytes Achieves AWS Security Competency
Tuesday 21st April 2026
We’re delighted to share that we’ve been awarded the AWS Security Competency from AWS.
This recognition reflects our commitment to helping organisations design, build and operate secure cloud environments, backed by proven expertise and validated by AWS.
What is the AWS Security Competency?
The AWS Security Competency is awarded to partners who demonstrate deep technical expertise and a strong track record of delivering security solutions on AWS.
Achieving this competency requires a rigorous independent audit, assessing both technical capability and operational maturity. It validates that Bytes meets AWS’s high standards across areas such as:
- Cloud security architecture and design
- Identity and access management
- Threat detection and response
- Data protection and compliance
- Security operations and governance
It’s not just about technical knowledge, it’s about proven delivery, customer success, and the ability to implement security best practices in real-world environments.
Why This Matters
As organisations continue to scale in the cloud, security has become more complex and more critical.
Common challenges include:
- Misconfigurations across growing AWS environments
- Limited visibility and control
- Increasing regulatory and compliance pressures
- Shortage of in-house cloud security expertise
The AWS Security Competency recognises partners who can help address these challenges effectively, combining technical depth with practical delivery experience.
