Introduction
aws2 Documentation
aws2 helps teams review AI agents as part of a real business workspace: what they can reach, what they can do, where approval is required, what evidence remains, and what the organization should not claim yet.
What is aws2?
Start here for a plain-language primer on agentic workspace security.
Applied example
See how the standard can be applied to one scoped AI workflow.
Standard draft
Read the current working draft: scope, terms, levels, control families, evidence, and claim language.
Family guides
Use plain-language guides for each AWS2 control family, with evidence examples and review questions.
Why this exists
AI agents are no longer only chat windows. In many workflows they can read files, call tools, query systems, run commands, draft messages, update records, or trigger connected services. That makes the review unit bigger than a model answer and smaller than the entire company.
aws2, the Agentic Workspace Security Standard, is a profile model for one scoped agentic workspace system. The goal is to make a workflow visible enough to review: boundary, authority, action gates, source trust, context handling, sensitive data, receipts, validation, exceptions, and claim limits.
Entry paths
- Start with the plain-language primer if you are deciding whether this problem applies to your business.
- Use the applied example if you want to see what a scoped profile looks like in practice.
- Read the standard draft when you need the formal structure: scope, terms, levels, control families, evidence model, governance, and claim language.
- Use the family guides when you need more context for a specific
AWS2-*family without starting from formal requirement text.
Current status
The current standard text is a working draft. It can support review, mapping, and evidence planning for scoped workflows, but it is not a certification program, legal compliance framework, endorsement, or public conformance scheme.
