  • Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA S3 Object Lock capability lets you anchor WORM retention to a future event (contract close, audit complete) rather than a fixed date — relevant for platform teams managing compliant storage under SEC 17a-4(f), FINRA 4511, or CFTC 1.31. Evaluate updating your S3 bucket policies and IAM condition keys to adopt event holds for regulated data this quarter.
  • CI/CD — Skip
  • Leader — Learn: If the org operates in regulated industries, this Cohasset-assessed S3 capability closes a gap in event-driven retention compliance at no additional cost — useful context for understanding your AWS compliance posture, but no strategic decision or budget action required.
