Service: prescriptive-guidance · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: prescriptive-guidance/latest/designing-control-tower-landing-zone/mandatory.md

Summary

Updated control title from 'AWS Control Tower and AWS CloudFormation' to 'AWS Control Tower and CloudFormation'

Security assessment

The change only removes redundant 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation reference in a control title. The underlying security control (preventing IAM role changes) remains unchanged with no new security guidance added.
