AWS Security Assessment Services

Identify Misconfigurations. Strengthen Compliance. Secure Your AWS Environment.

As more small and mid-sized businesses migrate to AWS, the attack surface continues to expand. Misconfigured services, excessive permissions, and unmonitored resources expose your environment to unnecessary risk. Our AWS Security Assessments are purpose-built for organizations that need a clear, professional evaluation of their AWS cloud infrastructure—mapped to business outcomes and compliance goals.

What Is an AWS Security Assessment?

An AWS Security Assessment is a structured evaluation of your cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and noncompliance with industry best practices. The objective is to assess how your AWS environment is currently secured, determine where risks lie, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap.

Unlike generic automated scans or vendor-native tools, our approach blends AWS-native capabilities (such as Security Hub, IAM Access Analyzer, and GuardDuty) with manual review, compliance mapping, and human analysis to give you a full-spectrum understanding of your cloud posture.

Our assessments address multiple layers of your environment, including:

Whether you are preparing for an audit, responding to a recent incident, or validating your migration, this assessment ensures that your cloud is not only functional—but resilient, secure, and compliant.

What’s Included in Our AWS Security Assessment?

Our service is designed to go beyond surface-level findings. We deliver actionable, board-ready insights while ensuring technical teams have everything they need to act with precision.

Your deliverables will include:

Cloud Security Posture Overview

A summary that communicates the overall health and maturity of your AWS environment from a security perspective. This is designed for executive stakeholders and technical leads alike.

Detailed Risk and Findings Report

A breakdown of misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and policy gaps—each categorized by severity, affected services, and potential business impact.

Compliance Alignment Map

An analysis of how your current environment stacks up against relevant standards like NIST 800-53, CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark, CMMC, ISO 27001, or SOC 2.

Prioritized Remediation Roadmap

A sequenced list of high-priority actions based on risk scoring, operational feasibility, and compliance dependencies. This is designed to support both in-house teams and external partners.

Executive Briefing and Technical Walkthrough

We don’t just hand over a report. Our team presents the findings, answers questions, and helps you plan next steps. This ensures alignment between business, IT, and compliance stakeholders.

Optional Remediation Support

If you need help implementing fixes, we offer hands-on assistance with remediation tasks, policy changes, encryption configurations, and automation scripts.

Common Risks We Uncover

Despite best intentions, AWS environments often suffer from default configurations, rushed deployments, or lack of regular audits. Some of the most frequent issues we uncover include:

Each of these issues represents an opportunity for threat actors. Our job is to find them—and give you a plan to eliminate them.
