Re: data security in "the cloud"

The S3 team has recently rolled out support for server-side encryption.

There is also the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)... http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/

But you may already know all about that...

They also recently launched "GovCloud" basically a specialized, physically
isolated VPC.
http://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/

There may be some documents there, that may be of interest to you.
