Assurance coverage
Coverage for the requirements already on your desk.
North supports internal security profiles and recognized standards within the published image. Exact applicability still depends on the selected build, the workload around it, and the evidence your organization must produce.
Framework support does not independently confer certification, compliance, accreditation, or authorization.
Pressure test the choice
The real test happens under your workload.
North makes the image explicit so platform teams can evaluate what happens when real agents, applications, access paths, and operating procedures meet the configuration.
Review the operating modelResolve and exercise
Match the exact build to the workload, then test access, applications, agents, networking, observability, and change procedures.
Keep ownership attached
Use image-specific support while platform and governance teams continue to operate and assess the complete system.

What comes with a North image?+
North publishes maintained Linux and Windows virtual machines through AWS Marketplace. The catalog includes security-hardened builds and supported operating-system images across x86_64 and ARM64 where listed.
What does “hardened” mean here?+
North's hardened product line applies operating-system configuration aligned to the product's stated DISA STIG profile. Review the current AWS listing and validate the exact build against your own requirements before production use.
Where does North provide framework coverage?+
North supports Foundation Level 1 and 2; Standard Defense Level 1, 2, and 3; DISA STIG; NIST SP 800-53; NIST SP 800-171; FIPS readiness; ISO 27001; SOC 2; and NIS2. Support means enabling alignment and readiness at the image layer; it does not independently certify a customer's complete system.
What remains outside North's scope?+
North's products cover the published image layer. Your team remains responsible for the surrounding architecture, applications, operations, evidence, and compliance or authorization decisions for the complete system.
Where are products purchased?+
North Security products are listed on AWS Marketplace. Each catalog entry links directly to its current marketplace page for pricing, regional availability, terms, and subscription details.
