I am not sure exactly what your question is, but it appears you may be going through a CSA Star assessment. AWS goes through several security/compliance assessments each year (https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/services-in-scope/) including CSA Star (https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/iso-certified/). Have a look at the links and if you can clarify your question I can try to be more specific.
