Bastion is now part of the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, a global initiative that connects AWS customers with validated software partners. This means faster procurement, tighter AWS integration, and dedicated support for organizations building secure, compliant infrastructure on AWS.


We're thrilled to announce that Bastion has officially joined the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, a global partner program for AWS Partners who provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS.

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

What This Means for You

Simplified Procurement Through AWS Marketplace

Bastion is available on AWS Marketplace, making it easier than ever to get started. You can:

  • Consolidate billing through your existing AWS account
  • Use committed AWS spend toward your Bastion subscription
  • 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. Whether you're pursuing SOC 2 Type 2 for your B2B SaaS product or ISO 27001 for regulated enterprise clients, our joint approach ensures you get the right guidance from day one.

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.

Why We Joined

At Bastion, we've seen firsthand how compliance can slow down fast-moving startups. Security questionnaires pile up. Audits create uncertainty. Engineering teams get pulled away from building product.

Joining the AWS ISV Accelerate Program accelerates that mission. By working directly with AWS, we can:

  1. Reach more companies at the moment they need compliance support
  2. Reduce procurement friction through AWS Marketplace integration
  3. Provide coordinated support alongside AWS teams
