AWS sms-voice documentation change

Service: sms-voice · 2026-06-13 · Documentation medium

File: sms-voice/latest/userguide/registrations-spain.md

Summary

Updated Spain sender ID registration process: restructured steps, added requirement to first create registration in AWS console for TERCERO details, added important note about handling sensitive TERCERO information, and adjusted deadlines and instructions.

Security assessment

The change adds explicit handling instructions for sensitive TERCERO legal representative information, including prohibitions on retention and secondary usage. This introduces new security documentation about protecting sensitive registration data, but doesn't address a specific vulnerability.
