STAGE 2: Assess

AWS Well-Architected Review

Our AWS-certified experts assist in reviewing your workloads to implement AWS Well-Architected best practices, uncovering opportunities for security optimization, risk mitigation, cost reductions, and enhanced application performance.

Guided by the five pillars—security, operational excellence, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization—the review identifies risks and provides actionable recommendations to strengthen your cloud environment.

AWS Cloud Security Health Check

Our health check service evaluates your AWS environment from the perspectives of people, process, and technology, providing a comprehensive report and roadmap for remediating any identified issues.

We examine your AWS environment against our cloud security framework, which combines industry standards like NIST, CCM, CIS, and CSP controls along with our own proprietary controls. We also interview individuals who manage your environment to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your security program. Additionally, we review the processes your team uses to secure the AWS environment, ensuring they align with best practices.

This offering builds on the AWS Well-Architected Review and provides deeper insights into your cloud security posture. For more details, see our Cloud Security Assessments page.

AWS Security Maturity Assessment

For organizations with an AWS footprint, our security maturity assessment goes beyond a health check by providing a quantified snapshot of your current security posture. It also offers a clear roadmap for improvement and optimization across key strategic areas, including:

  • IAM
  • Networking
  • Incident response
  • Disaster recovery

AWS Architecture Review

As building in AWS becomes the standard for many development teams, it’s essential to review application architectures from a cloud security-focused perspective. Our AWS vulnerability assessment helps ensure your architecture is secure by design. Our team of certified Cloud Security Solution Architects will examine both existing and new architectures, identifying any vulnerabilities and helping you implement and maintain a “security first” approach.

Cloud-Native Application Architecture Review

Securing cloud-native applications, whether using serverless or containers, requires a thorough understanding of both the AWS environment and the application code. We combine our extensive expertise in cloud security and application security to help organizations better understand and enhance the security of their cloud-native applications.

Cloud Penetration Testing

Applications deployed in AWS security services have unique attack vectors compared to those deployed elsewhere, making an AWS security review essential. Our cloud penetration testing combines Threat & Attack Simulation with in-depth cloud security expertise to perform a penetration test that answers the critical question: “How exposed is my cloud application?”

STAGE 3: Plan & Design

AWS Cloud Security Strategy

Securing cloud-native applications using serverless or containers requires a deep understanding of both the AWS environment and application code. By combining our expertise in AWS cloud security and application security, we can develop a customized cloud security strategy tailored to your organization’s specific needs. Using our five phases of cloud security architecture, we will identify the requirements and implementation strategies for cloud foundations, perimeter, data, visibility, and individual cloud services. The result is a comprehensive cloud strategy built with a security-first mindset.

AWS Cloud Security Roadmap

Our roadmap service provides a prioritized list of key AWS cloud service initiatives tailored to your existing environment. This roadmap is designed to incrementally enhance your organization’s cloud security posture, ensuring ongoing improvements and protection.
