The starting point

The right work starts
with the right context.

Cloud security is a shared responsibility. Account controls, application permissions and data handling still need clear owners, even when the underlying infrastructure is managed by AWS.

When this service fits

  • Establishing a multi-account AWS environment
  • Reviewing access and auditability after rapid cloud growth
  • Preparing technical evidence for an internal security review
Delivery scope

How the work comes together.

01

Understand the requirements

Map data sensitivity, account ownership and applicable internal policies. Agree what evidence the review needs.

02

Review the foundations

Examine identity paths, privileged access, account boundaries, logging coverage and exposure of selected resources.

03

Prioritise remediation

Record each finding with impact, owner, proposed control and verification steps. Sequence work with operational dependencies.

04

Document governance

Define access reviews, exception handling, account onboarding and control ownership for ongoing use.

Technology with a purpose

AWS components we consider.

The final selection follows the workload, compatibility and regional requirements. These components are a starting point for design.

AWS IAM & IAM Identity Center

Permission design and workforce access patterns.

AWS Organizations

Account structure and policy guardrails.

AWS CloudTrail & AWS Config

Activity logging and configuration visibility.

Amazon GuardDuty & AWS Security Hub

Threat findings and security posture review where enabled and scoped.

Tangible outputs

What you receive.

  • Selected-control assessment and evidence notes
  • Identity and account architecture recommendations
  • Prioritised remediation backlog
  • Logging and retention design
  • Access-review and exception-handling procedures
Ready for handover

Agree how success is checked.

  • Privileged access and log destinations are reviewed.
  • Remediation checks demonstrate the intended control.
  • Control owners and exceptions are recorded.

What we need from you

Current account and identity design, data classification, internal policies and access to the selected assessment scope.

How the scope is defined

An architecture or configuration review is not an audit certification or a guarantee of compliance. Penetration testing, continuous monitoring and third-party assurance require separate scope.
