This security paper from June 2016 (!) has been superseded by several others. This lecture reveals a UI and organization of security information on the AWS web site that is also completely out of date. I have also found what looks like a more recent version of this white paper "Amazon Web Services: Overview of Security Processes" that is dated March 2020, but is watermarked as "archived" and says "For the latest technical content on Security and Compliance, see [https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/security-identity-compliance/"].
