Welcome to the Audit Manager API reference. This guide is for developers who need detailed information about the Audit Manager API operations, data types, and errors.
Audit Manager is a service that provides automated evidence collection so that you can continually audit your Amazon Web Services usage. You can use it to assess the effectiveness of your controls, manage risk, and simplify compliance.
Audit Manager provides prebuilt frameworks that structure and automate assessments for a given compliance standard. Frameworks include a prebuilt collection of controls with descriptions and testing procedures. These controls are grouped according to the requirements of the specified compliance standard or regulation. You can also customize frameworks and controls to support internal audits with specific requirements.

account.deregisterAccountDeregisters an account in Audit Manager.
Before you deregister, you can use the API operation to set your preferred data retention policy. By default, Audit Manager retains your data. If you want to delete your data, you can use the
DeregistrationPolicyattribute to request the deletion of your data.For more information about data retention, see in the Audit Manager User Guide.
-
account.deregisterOrganizationAdminAccountRemoves the specified Amazon Web Services account as a delegated administrator for Audit Manager.
When you remove a delegated administrator from your Audit Manager settings, you continue to have access to the evidence that you previously collected under that account. This is also the case when you deregister a delegated administrator from Organizations. However, Audit Manager stops collecting and attaching evidence to that delegated administrator account moving forward.
Keep in mind the following cleanup task if you use evidence finder:
Before you use your management account to remove a delegated administrator, make sure that the current delegated administrator account signs in to Audit Manager and disables evidence finder first. Disabling evidence finder automatically deletes the event data store that was created in their account when they enabled evidence finder. If this task isn’t completed, the event data store remains in their account. In this case, we recommend that the original delegated administrator goes to CloudTrail Lake and manually .
This cleanup task is necessary to ensure that you don't end up with multiple event data stores. Audit Manager ignores an unused event data store after you remove or change a delegated administrator account. However, the unused event data store continues to incur storage costs from CloudTrail Lake if you don't delete it.
When you deregister a delegated administrator account for Audit Manager, the data for that account isn’t deleted. If you want to delete resource data for a delegated administrator account, you must perform that task separately before you deregister the account. Either, you can do this in the Audit Manager console. Or, you can use one of the delete API operations that are provided by Audit Manager.
To delete your Audit Manager resource data, see the following instructions:

At this time, Audit Manager doesn't provide an option to delete evidence for a specific delegated administrator. Instead, when your management account deregisters Audit Manager, we perform a cleanup for the current delegated administrator account at the time of deregistration.

assessmentFrameworks.createAssessmentFrameworkCreates a custom framework in Audit Manager.
-
assessmentFrameworks.deleteAssessmentFrameworkDeletes a custom framework in Audit Manager.
-
assessmentFrameworks.getAssessmentFrameworkReturns a framework from Audit Manager.
-
assessmentFrameworks.startAssessmentFrameworkShareCreates a share request for a custom framework in Audit Manager.
The share request specifies a recipient and notifies them that a custom framework is available. Recipients have 120 days to accept or decline the request. If no action is taken, the share request expires.
When you create a share request, Audit Manager stores a snapshot of your custom framework in the US East (N. Virginia) Amazon Web Services Region. Audit Manager also stores a backup of the same snapshot in the US West (Oregon) Amazon Web Services Region.
Audit Manager deletes the snapshot and the backup snapshot when one of the following events occurs:
-
The sender revokes the share request.
-
The recipient declines the share request.
-
The recipient encounters an error and doesn't successfully accept the share request.
-
The share request expires before the recipient responds to the request.
When a sender , the snapshot is replaced with an updated version that corresponds with the latest version of the custom framework.
When a recipient accepts a share request, the snapshot is replicated into their Amazon Web Services account under the Amazon Web Services Region that was specified in the share request.
When you invoke the
StartAssessmentFrameworkShareAPI, you are about to share a custom framework with another Amazon Web Services account. You may not share a custom framework that is derived from a standard framework if the standard framework is designated as not eligible for sharing by Amazon Web Services, unless you have obtained permission to do so from the owner of the standard framework. To learn more about which standard frameworks are eligible for sharing, see in the Audit Manager User Guide. -

assessments.batchImportEvidenceToAssessmentControlUploads one or more pieces of evidence to a control in an Audit Manager assessment. You can upload manual evidence from any Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket by specifying the S3 URI of the evidence.
You must upload manual evidence to your S3 bucket before you can upload it to your assessment. For instructions, see and in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference.
The following restrictions apply to this action:
-
Maximum size of an individual evidence file: 100 MB
-
Number of daily manual evidence uploads per control: 100
-
Supported file formats: See in the Audit Manager User Guide

-
assessments.createAssessmentReportCreates an assessment report for the specified assessment.
-
assessments.deleteAssessmentDeletes an assessment in Audit Manager.
-
assessments.deleteAssessmentReportDeletes an assessment report in Audit Manager.
When you run the
DeleteAssessmentReportoperation, Audit Manager attempts to delete the following data:-
The specified assessment report that’s stored in your S3 bucket
-
The associated metadata that’s stored in Audit Manager
If Audit Manager can’t access the assessment report in your S3 bucket, the report isn’t deleted. In this event, the
DeleteAssessmentReportoperation doesn’t fail. Instead, it proceeds to delete the associated metadata only. You must then delete the assessment report from the S3 bucket yourself.This scenario happens when Audit Manager receives a
403 (Forbidden)or404 (Not Found)error from Amazon S3. To avoid this, make sure that your S3 bucket is available, and that you configured the correct permissions for Audit Manager to delete resources in your S3 bucket. For an example permissions policy that you can use, see in the Audit Manager User Guide. For information about the issues that could cause a403 (Forbidden)or404 (Not Found) error from Amazon S3, see in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference. -
