Security

Our Security Report ensures that your security posture is proactive, not just compliant. By ranking findings by severity and exposure, we empower your team to fix what matters most, protecting your infrastructure before a risk becomes a breach.

You get a roadmap that prioritizes your next three moves:

Neutralize the Attack Surface
Instantly identify and close all internet‑exposed resources, misconfigured security groups, and exposed secrets highlighted in the Scan Overview and Top Findings tables.
Focus on Critical Remediation
Cut through thousands of findings by zeroing in on the “Critical” and “High” severity issues shown in the severity breakdown chart and prioritized findings list.
Track Security Velocity
Use the Findings Over Time and Security Posture Over Time charts to verify that open issues are trending down and that your team is fixing vulnerabilities faster than new ones appear.

FinOps

Our FinOps/Cost Optimisation Reports gives you continuous visibility into cloud spend so you can control costs, forecast accurately, and prove the impact of optimization work.

You get a roadmap that prioritizes your next three moves:

Understand Your Current Spend
Ssee total cloud spend, top cost drivers, and how costs are distributed across accounts, services, and environments.
Optimize Cost and Usage
Drill into stacked usage and cost charts to identify waste, underutilized resources, and high‑growth areas so you can target rightsizing, commitment discounts, and scheduling savings.
Forecast and Track Savings Impact
Leverage trends, forecasts, and anomaly views to compare actual vs projected spend, validate that optimization initiatives are lowering your run‑rate, and keep future costs aligned to budget.

Testimonials

“Cloud Wizard completely transformed the way we handle our AWS operations at Big Purple Phone. When we first engaged them, our cloud architecture was inefficient and our security posture lacked the enterprise-level hardening we required. They conducted a meticulous cost and security review that uncovered massive, hidden waste we hadn’t even realized was there.

Beyond just identifying issues, they rolled up their sleeves and fixed everything. They resized our infrastructure, redesigned our security protocols, and implemented a clean, scalable platform that has saved us a significant amount of money month-over-month. We now have full confidence in our cloud spend and our security roadmap. If you’re scaling on AWS, hiring them is the best decision you’ll make.”

James Henderson - Technical and Operations Director, Big Purple Phone

“Cloud Wizard is a rare find in the world of technology leadership. They meticulously designed, built, and now maintain our enterprise-level platform with a level of professionalism and technical precision that is simply outstanding. From the initial architecture to ongoing maintenance, their work has been consistently fast, stable, and executed with a keen eye for both performance and security.

What truly sets Cloud Wizard apart is their responsiveness; any time a critical issue arose, they were there immediately, resolving it with zero downtime to our operations. Our platform has never been more dependable or secure, and having them at the helm of our technical strategy has given us the stability we need to scale. For any business that requires high-stakes reliability, Cloud Wizard is the expert you want on your team.”
