AWS security that holds up in front of your auditor - and your attacker.
Fixed-price assessment, fixed-price remediation, then controls that keep running under an AWS-audited operations practice. Senior engineers who also talk to your QSA, CPA or assessor.
AWS Managed Service Provider (audited) · Advanced Tier Services Partner · 700+ projects since 2010 · Zero security breaches in any client environment we’ve operated · 5.0 on Clutch
You're here because one of these just happened
- An enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire and half the answers are “we’ll get back to you”.
- PCI DSS, HIPAA or SOC 2 just became a condition of a contract you want to sign.
- Your compliance platform (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) dashboard is red and nobody owns the infrastructure findings.
- Production access is “the founders have admin” – and the founders know it.
- There is an EKS cluster in production that nobody has hardened.
- An incident already happened, and the post-mortem says “we didn’t know”.
None of these gets solved by a policy document. They get solved by engineers who change the environment and then keep it that way.
How the engagement runs
1. Security & Compliance Assessment
Fixed price, 5-10 working days, read-only access. You get findings ranked by severity and effort, mapped to CIS AWS Foundations and the framework in scope (PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2). No slideware: every finding names the resource and the fix.
2. Remediation
Fixed price after the assessment, delivered by milestone. Miss a milestone and you don't pay for that phase. Changes go through Terraform, so the fix is the documentation.
3. Continuous security & compliance operations
Under our managed operations practice: access reviews, patch cadence, vulnerability management, log retention, restore tests. Evidence is a by-product of the work, not a quarterly scramble.
4. Audit support
We answer your assessor in their language on everything that lives in AWS - architecture, controls, evidence - and stay on the call until the question is closed.
What "secured" means on AWS
The controls we put in place and keep in place. Each one is auditable, and each one is in code.
Identity & access
Least-privilege IAM, SSO, MFA everywhere, no long-lived keys, break-glass procedures that are actually documented.
Network
Segmentation, private subnets, no 0.0.0.0/0 on anything that matters, egress control, WAF and Shield in front of what is public.
Encryption
KMS at rest and TLS in transit, key policies that survive an audit question, secrets in SSM Parameter Store or Secrets Manager via External Secrets - never in code.
Detection & logging
CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector - wired, retained, and reviewed. Centralized logs with retention your assessor can verify.
Backups & DR
Backups that are tested by restoring them, not by hoping. RPO/RTO documented and rehearsed.
Drift control
Terraform for everything, review on every change, drift detection so the environment your auditor saw is the environment that runs.
Kubernetes security is part of it
Most “AWS security” offers stop at the account level. Our clients run EKS in production, so the cluster is in scope by default.
Cluster hardening baseline
Pod Security Standards, Kyverno policies, private API endpoint, control-plane logging on, IRSA or Pod Identity instead of node-wide roles.
Network policies & image scanning
Namespace isolation with network policies, image scanning in CI/CD, signed images where the framework asks for it.
Upgrade cadence
EKS versions kept in support, upgrades without downtime, node AMIs rotated on schedule. Amazon EKS Service Delivery partner.
Evidence
Cluster configuration, RBAC and policy state exported as audit evidence, not screenshots.
What we own and what stays yours
Ours: the cloud and infrastructure part of the program
Technical controls, their configuration, monitoring, evidence collection, and the conversation with your assessor about anything that lives in AWS.
Ours: remediation and operations
We fix what we find and then run it. No hand-off between the team that advises and the team that operates.
Yours: policies, people, vendors
Written policies, HR controls, vendor management, security awareness training - your compliance lead owns these. We supply the infrastructure inputs.
Yours: the attestation
We do not audit or certify anyone. Your QSA, CPA or assessor issues the report. That is exactly why they can accept our work without a conflict.
Proof, not promises
Zero security breaches
In any client environment we have operated since 2010.
PCI DSS, every year
Payment processors have passed annual PCI DSS certification on environments we built and operate. PCI DSS on AWS →
HIPAA in production
HIPAA telehealth infrastructure we have built and operated in production. HIPAA on AWS →
Audited ourselves
AWS independently validated how we operate client environments on an ongoing basis before granting the Managed Service Provider designation in 2026.
Clients stay 7 years on average. 99% recommend us. 5.0 on Clutch.
Why us, not a security consultancy
We build, they advise
A consultancy hands you a findings list. We hand you a findings list and then close it, in Terraform, by milestone.
No conflict with your auditor
We are not a QSA or CPA firm and never will be. Assessors can rely on our remediation without independence questions.
Senior-only, founder-led
Six engineers, 20+ AWS certifications, 14 years of average experience. Alexander Abgaryan (AWS Security Specialty) is on every audit call.
We operate what we fix
Half the value of a security program is year two. Under the managed operations practice the controls keep running between audits.

FAQ
Can you get us PCI DSS / HIPAA / SOC 2 certified?
No one can “certify” you but your assessor, and HIPAA has no certification at all. We build and operate the AWS infrastructure so that the technical controls pass, and we support the audit. Policies, people and vendor controls stay with your compliance lead.
How much does the assessment cost and how long does it take?
Fixed price, quoted on the scoping call, 5-10 working days with read-only access. You receive findings ranked by severity and effort, mapped to CIS AWS Foundations and your framework, plus a remediation plan with milestones.
We already use Vanta / Drata / Secureframe. Do we still need you?
Yes, for the red items. The platform tells you what is failing on the infrastructure side; it does not change IAM policies, segment the network or rotate keys. That is the work we do, and the platform turns green as a result.
Who talks to our auditor?
Alexander Abgaryan, founder, AWS Certified Security Specialty. He joins the assessor calls and answers every infrastructure question with the evidence in hand.
Do we have to move our operations to you for this?
No. Assessment and remediation are fixed-price projects. Continuous compliance operations is an option under the managed operations plans for teams that want the controls kept running between audits.
We are on Kubernetes. Is the cluster covered?
Yes. EKS hardening is part of the assessment and remediation scope: Pod Security Standards, Kyverno policies, IRSA, network policies, image scanning, upgrade cadence and control-plane logging.
Thirty minutes, one engineer, your findings list
Bring the questionnaire, the red dashboard or the incident report. You’ll leave the call knowing what is actually exposed, what the fix costs, and what your assessor will ask next.
