AWS Security Review
Cloud computing delivers real business value — but security is a shared responsibility. AWS provides the tools and controls; your organisation must configure and maintain them correctly. Without proper configuration, you may be granting far more access to your systems and data than intended, exposing sensitive information and creating real risk of breach, regulatory action or service disruption. We conduct a structured assessment of your AWS environment against the CIS Amazon Web Services Foundations benchmark, giving you independent, prioritised assurance that your cloud deployment is properly secured.

Our approach
Discovery & Initial Review
We build a profile of your deployment, user roles and security access model. Through workshops and documentation review we establish how data flows in, out and across the environment.
Infrastructure Security Design Assessment
We formally assess your AWS environment against CIS Foundations guidance, reviewing IAM, VPCs, S3 protections, security groups, cryptography, third-party access, and logging and monitoring arrangements.
Technical Validation & Exposure Testing
We validate findings by examining your environment from an unprivileged external perspective — confirming which resources, data and interfaces are accessible without authentication, and verifying that controls identified in the design assessment function as intended.
Findings & Recommendations
We deliver a tailored, business-focused report detailing weaknesses and remediation steps, rated and prioritised by risk. We present findings to your technical teams and support your remediation planning.
