AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2025-07-16 · Documentation medium

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/strategy-mergers-security/resources.md

Summary

Restructured content, removed compliance references (HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, GDPR), added general AWS resources and navigation elements

Security assessment

Removed references to security compliance frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, GDPR) and regulatory guidance (SEC, DOJ) that were previously documented. While this reduces visibility of security-related resources, there's no evidence this change addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.
