NIST SP 800-66 AWS Hardened Images
Apollo images give teams an exact operating-system build to examine while using NIST SP 800-66 Rev. 2 to connect HIPAA Security Rule requirements with practical cybersecurity questions.
NIST SP 800-66 evaluation
Use the exact image to ask better implementation questions.
Map implemented safeguards
Record the exact configuration, control relationships, test results, and evidence rather than relying on a generic hardened-image claim.
Manage gaps and exceptions
Document safeguards that remain outside the image and formally evaluate any configuration changes required by the workload.
Industry context
