The primary goal of the Review Mechanism (RM) team is to improve the security review process by increasing efficiency and quality to help reduce risk. We work closely with teams across Amazon to identify challenges and areas for improvement, using data and feedback to implement meaningful changes. We focus on refining the security review process and work with partner teams to improve wikis, knowledge bases, SKB, training. Additionally, we collaborate with teams like Shepherd, Veritas, and ASR to prioritize new feature development, while also creating our own tools to enable rapid experimentation and continuous improvement.
