# AWS Parallel Computing Service is now in scope for FedRAMP, SOC, ISO, CSA STAR, and PCI

**[AWS](https://daily.dev/sources/aws)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS), a managed HPC service built on Slurm, has expanded its compliance coverage to include FedRAMP Class C (US East/West regions) and FedRAMP Class D (GovCloud), SOC 1/2/3, ISO, CSA STAR under CCM 4.0, PCI DSS, PCI 3DS, and HIPAA eligibility. This makes PCS suitable for federal agencies, public sector organizations, and regulated enterprises running sensitive or mission-critical HPC workloads.
