Elastic has announced its participation in the AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights, a feature designed to simplify software risk assessments and procurement by providing access to security and compliance profiles. This collaboration, part of AWS's re:Invent 2022 initiatives, aims to streamline the purchasing process of Elastic Cloud by reducing assessment lead times and enhancing security confidence. Vendor Insights offers a dashboard for monitoring a product's security status in near real-time, allowing users to download data and integrate seller certificates into their vendor management tools. This feature reduces the need for periodic reassessments by providing ongoing alerts and visibility into a vendor's security practices, such as compliance certification expirations. Elastic, a leading independent software vendor (ISV) on AWS Marketplace, allows users to access its security and compliance profile through Vendor Insights, facilitating a more efficient procurement process.
