AWS Security Assessment

Gain confidence in your cloud posture. We provide an independent validation of your AWS environment against the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v5.0.0—the global gold standard for securing cloud infrastructure.

Executive Summary

As your cloud footprint grows, so does the complexity of securing it. Misconfigurations in AWS are the primary cause of cloud data breaches. Our assessment cuts through the noise, validating your environment against 40+ high-priority controls defined by the Center for Internet Security (CIS).

We move beyond technical jargon to tell you exactly where your business risks lie, from data sovereignty to identity governance.

Strategic Focus Areas

01

Identity & Access Governance

Ensuring that "Least Privilege" is more than a buzzword. We validate that staff access is tightly controlled, credentials are rotated automatically, and root-level access is strictly locked down to prevent unauthorized escalation.

02

Network Perimeter Security

Verifying that your cloud network is hardened against external threats. We identify exposed entry points, validate traffic flow restrictions, and ensure your VPC design minimizes the attack surface available to bad actors.

03

Data Protection & Sovereignty

Confirming your critical assets are encrypted and resilient. We audit storage configurations to ensure data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and that "Public Access" blocks are functioning to prevent accidental data leaks.

04

Audit Readiness & Visibility

Ensuring you have the logs to investigate if an incident occurs. We verify that CloudTrail and AWS Config are correctly capturing audit trails, ensuring you maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

The Deliverables

  • Executive Risk Report: A high-level view of your security posture, graded against CIS Level 1 & 2 Benchmarks, suitable for board reporting.
  • Technical Remediation Plan: A prioritized roadmap for your engineering team to close gaps, ranked by severity and effort.
  • Compliance Alignment: Verification of how your current configuration maps to recognized frameworks (CIS v5.0.0, ACSC Essential Eight).
  • Strategy Session: A post-audit workshop to discuss the findings and integrate security improvements into your product roadmap.
