This milestone deepens our commitment to helping startups and scaleups achieve compliance certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR while building on AWS infrastructure.
What is the AWS ISV Accelerate Program?
The AWS ISV Accelerate Program connects Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) directly with AWS teams worldwide. It's designed to help AWS customers discover, evaluate, and purchase validated software solutions through AWS Marketplace.
For Bastion, this means:
- Direct collaboration with AWS teams to support customer engagements
- Inclusion in AWS solution finder tools that help customers discover compliance solutions
- Prioritized access to AWS partner resources and enablement programs

- Streamline vendor approvals with pre-validated security and compliance
Faster Time to Compliance
As an ISV Accelerate partner, we work alongside AWS account teams to understand your specific compliance needs.

Validated by AWS
To join the ISV Accelerate Program, partners must complete rigorous requirements including:
- AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR): Demonstrating adherence to AWS best practices for security, reliability, and operational excellence
- Validated partner status in the AWS Partner Network Software Path
- Proven track record of successful customer engagements through AWS Marketplace
This validation gives you confidence that Bastion meets AWS's high standards for partner solutions.

Joining the AWS ISV Accelerate Program accelerates that mission. By working directly with AWS, we can:
- Reach more companies at the moment they need compliance support
- Reduce procurement friction through AWS Marketplace integration
- Provide coordinated support alongside AWS teams
