Designing the Compliance Architecture with Lambda and EventBridge

Now that your Control Tower foundation is in place, the next step is to architect the compliance automation layer that will programmatically audit AWS accounts in your organization. This layer uses AWS Lambda for logic execution and Amazon EventBridge for scheduling and orchestration. Combined with cross-account role assumption, this architecture enables centralized control with distributed execution—ideal for continuously checking configurations, security settings, and policy adherence across multiple accounts.
