Our Approach to Security & Compliance for Your AWS Resources
How We Ensure Security & Compliance for Your AWS Resources
Managing cloud costs is important, but ensuring your resources comply with AWS security and compliance standards is just as critical. Our security and compliance audits provide a comprehensive view of your cloud environment, highlighting any gaps or risks so you can take action. While we do not fix or monitor security issues, we ensure you have the information you need to stay compliant and secure.
1. Comprehensive Security Audits
Our audits evaluate your AWS environment against best practices and security standards.
- AWS Well-Architected Framework: We assess your infrastructure based on AWS’s security pillar.
- Key Areas of Focus: Identity and access management, data protection, logging, monitoring configurations, and more.
- Detailed Findings: We provide a prioritized list of identified issues and risks.
Result: A clear understanding of how secure your AWS environment is and where improvements are needed.
2. Compliance Assessments
We evaluate your resources to ensure they align with industry compliance standards.
- Regulatory Standards: We audit for common standards like GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.
- AWS Compliance Programs: Ensure adherence to AWS compliance frameworks and certifications.
- Policy Checks: Assess the implementation of organizational policies like encryption, backup, and disaster recovery.
Result: Confidence that your AWS environment meets the regulatory requirements relevant to your business.
3. Focus on Resource Optimization and Compliance
As part of our audits, we ensure that cost-optimized resources also meet security and compliance requirements.
- Resource Tagging: We assess tagging policies to ensure resources are properly identified for auditing purposes.
- Unused Resources: Verification that cleanup efforts do not inadvertently leave data exposed.
- Rightsized Instances: Ensuring instance changes maintain or improve security configurations.
Result: Your optimized resources stay secure and compliant without overspending.
4. Actionable Audit Reports
We deliver clear, detailed audit reports to empower your team to take action.
- High-Level Overview: Summary of key findings and potential compliance risks.
- Detailed Risk Assessments: Prioritized list of security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.
- Remediation Recommendations: Clear guidance on what actions need to be taken (but not implemented by us).
Result: Reports that are easy to understand and directly usable by your security or IT team.
5. Regular Audits for Continuous Compliance
Compliance is an ongoing process, and we help you stay ahead.
- Periodic Assessments: Scheduled audits to ensure continued compliance with evolving standards.
- Proactive Gap Identification: Spot potential issues before they become significant risks.
- Documentation Support: Reports that can be shared with auditors, stakeholders, or regulatory bodies.
Result: Peace of mind that your AWS environment remains secure and compliant over time.
