AWS Security Assessment: What to Expect
AWS Security Assessment is equal parts art and science. Are you considering an AWS security assessment? Learn exactly what to expect from a professional AWS security assessment: from discovery to deliverables, executive reporting and recommendations for remediation.
The need for strong, proactive security has never been greater. Whether you’re preparing for a compliance audit, building a new architecture, or just need peace of mind, an AWS security assessment helps you understand your risks, and how to fix them.
We’ve helped enterprises secure their cloud environments with tailored assessments that deliver clarity, not complexity. Here’s what to expect when you engage us for an AWS security assessment.
AWS Security Assessment Summary
We approach every AWS assessment with a clear, proven methodology designed to deliver practical outcomes, not just paperwork.
- Discovery & Scope:
- Data Collection & Analysis:
- We use a combination of automated tools with manual review to collect and analyze configuration data across your AWS environment. Automated tools are great for scanning lots of settings quickly, but they lack insight into your workloads and requirements. This requires hands-on review from experienced cloud security experts.
- Risk-Based Finding Assessment & Remediation Planning:
- Each finding is evaluated based on its business risk, likelihood of exploitation, and compliance impact. We don’t just list all the findings, we prioritize them on several factors and provide detailed, actionable remediation plans based on real-world cloud experience.
- Executive Briefing & Report Delivery:
- We translate technical findings into clear business terms. You’ll receive a detailed report, as well as an executive-level briefing to summarize risks, opportunities, and your path to remediation.
- Optional: Hands-On Consulting or Team Training:
- Want help closing gaps quickly? Our consultants can work side-by-side with your team for 1:1 remediation support or deliver technical training sessions to up-skill your cloud team.
