AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change
Summary
Updated compliance documentation with revised resource links, added references to Security Hub, GuardDuty, Audit Manager, and Customer Compliance Guides. Replaced HIPAA whitepaper link with HIPAA Eligible Services list.
Security assessment
Changes add documentation about security compliance tools (Security Hub, GuardDuty) and governance features, but no evidence of addressing specific vulnerabilities. Updates focus on improving compliance guidance rather than patching security issues.
