AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Complete restructuring of document from M&A security guidance content to general AWS Prescriptive Guidance navigation page. Removed all substantive content about SEC regulations, cybersecurity risks in mergers, and compliance best practices. Added navigation links, marketing content, and resource collections.
Security assessment
The change removes existing security-related content about M&A cybersecurity risks and compliance requirements rather than addressing vulnerabilities. While original content discussed security implications, the changes appear to be a page template conversion without direct evidence of addressing specific security issues.
