Least privilege, by construction.
Identity, secrets, network controls and audit logging designed into the platform — because access scoped when it is built is the only kind that stays scoped.
Where cloud security is won or lost.
- IAM and least-privilege design Roles scoped to one job, permission boundaries, and the removal of the wildcards nobody meant to keep.
- SSO and identity federation One place to grant access and one place to revoke it, across cloud accounts and applications.
- Secrets and key management Secrets Manager, Parameter Store and KMS, with rotation that works and no credentials in source control.
- Cloud security posture reviews A read of the account as it stands: exposure, identity sprawl, encryption gaps and logging blind spots.
- Network security and WAF Segmentation, security groups, private connectivity, edge protection and rate limiting.
- Audit logging and detection CloudTrail, config recording, centralized logs and alerts on the events that matter.
- Security architecture for regulated environments Controls mapped to the framework you report against, with the evidence produced automatically.
- Encryption in transit and at rest TLS policy, certificate lifecycle, key ownership and storage-level encryption applied consistently.
What a review actually produces.
Not a scanner export. A prioritized list of what is exposed, what it would take to fix, and what we would do first if it were ours.
- Identity: human and machine access, standing privileges, unused credentials
- Exposure: public endpoints, security groups, storage and edge configuration
- Data: encryption, key ownership, backup and retention
- Detection: what is logged, where it goes, and what would raise an alert
- Recovery: whether the restore path has ever been exercised
A finding, written the way we write them
Deployment role can read every bucket in the account.
Why it matters — the pipeline only needs to publish to one bucket. A compromised build step currently reaches customer data it has no reason to see.
Fix — scope the policy to the deployment bucket and add a condition on the distribution it serves. One pull request, no downtime.
Effort — under an hour, including the plan review.
Security that survives the next deployment.
Controls applied by hand decay. Every control we recommend is expressed in code, reviewed like code and applied by the same pipeline as everything else — so the state you signed off on is the state you keep.
Scoped when built
Roles and policies written alongside the resource they serve, not granted broadly and narrowed later.
Evidence by default
Logging, config recording and alerting deployed as part of the platform, so audits are a query rather than a project.
Findings with a fix
Every issue we raise comes with the change that closes it and an honest estimate of what it costs to make.
