Claude on AWS: Bedrock vs. Claude Platform Carry Different Security Implications

AWS customers can access Anthropic's Claude through two distinct paths: Claude Platform on AWS, operated by Anthropic, or Claude via Amazon Bedrock, a fully AWS-managed service. While both options integrate with AWS billing and identity, their security and data-governance profiles differ significantly. In the Claude Platform on AWS model, prompts and completions are processed by Anthropic, meaning sensitive data crosses a third-party boundary and requires a separate vendor risk review. Amazon Bedrock, by contrast, keeps inference within AWS's own service boundary, aligning more naturally with existing controls such as IAM, CloudTrail, and AWS compliance frameworks. Security and privacy teams are advised to clarify which integration is in use before deploying workloads that involve confidential, regulated, or customer-owned data.
