Answer 1

There are several factors to consider based on your needs including whether a specific AWS region enables you to meet regulatory and compliance requirements. We generally recommend that you set up your Amazon WorkDocs site in the AWS region nearest to where most of your users are located, in order to reduce data access latencies.

Yes. If you have an executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with AWS, you can use Amazon WorkDocs with the AWS accounts associated with your BAA. If you don’t have an executed BAA with AWS, contact us and we will put you in touch with a representative from our AWS sales team. For more information, see, HIPAA Compliance.
