AWS Bedrock
AWS managed inference service providing Claude, Llama, Mistral and 30+ models through a single SOC 2 and PCI DSS compliant API for regulated financial institutions.
AWS Bedrock is Amazon's managed inference service providing financial institutions access to Claude, Llama, Mistral and 30+ frontier models through a single compliant API meeting SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS requirements. Data never leaves AWS infrastructure with VPC support and private endpoints enabling regulated banks to use frontier LLMs without public internet exposure. Bedrock is the dominant choice for US financial institutions already running on AWS who want compliant access to multiple LLMs for financial document analysis and RAG pipelines. Its provisioned throughput model allows consistent latency for production financial workloads while the on-demand option provides flexibility for development and burst usage.
