AWS Audit Manager maps to Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager and the regulatory compliance dashboard in Defender for Cloud. Audit Manager is in maintenance mode, and since April 30, 2026 it can't be set up in new accounts.
- Evidence. Audit Manager automatically collected evidence from Config, Security Hub, and CloudTrail into assessments. On Azure, Defender for Cloud regulatory compliance maps resource assessments to standards, and Compliance Manager tracks improvement actions and a compliance score.
- AWS alternatives. For new AWS customers, Security Hub CSPM standards and Config conformance packs cover much of the control-checking side.
