AI governance on AWS requires clear objectives, security (IAM, KMS), compliance tools (CloudTrail, Security Hub), data lineage, SageMaker model tracking, monitoring, and FinOps to scale AI securely and cost-effectively.

Startups can achieve SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance on AWS by understanding the shared responsibility model, prioritizing access and data controls, automating evidence collection, and using AWS tools for secure development, backup, incident response, and vendor management.
