AWS Submission on RBNZ and FMA FMI Standards Exposure Drafts
Amazon Web Services submitted comments to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Financial Markets Authority regarding their Financial Market Infrastructures Standards exposure drafts.

The submission includes ten recommendations to clarify due diligence requirements, adjust notification timeframes, and align standards with established security frameworks like the NZISM.
