ENGINEER-LED AWS AUDIT

Technical AWS
audit

A technical auditor finds AWS risks, remediates what matters, and keeps checking the account over time.

01 / AUDIT SCOPE

One service: audit the AWS account, then fix what matters

01

Architecture Quality

Review account structure, networking, service fit, scaling paths, and fragile design choices.

02

Security & Compliance

Assess IAM, public exposure, logging, encryption, evidence gaps, and compliance readiness.

03

Cost Efficiency

Identify waste, oversized resources, idle capacity, tagging gaps, and realistic savings opportunities.

04

Operations & Recovery

Check monitoring, alarms, backup strategy, disaster recovery readiness, and operational maturity.

05

Remediation Docs

Create the runbooks and procedures needed for audits, restore tests, fixes, and implemented controls.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

Four clear steps from review to fixes

A simple audit path: set the scope, review the account, agree what matters, then fix or document the priority items.

Book an AWS audit

01

Scope the audit

We agree on accounts, priorities, constraints, and safe read-only access.

02

Technical account review

An engineer checks architecture, IAM, logging, monitoring, backups, DR signals, and cost waste.

03

Rank the findings

You get the risks sorted by impact, urgency, and effort.

04

Fix what matters

You get practical fixes: actions, runbooks, and CDK or Terraform templates when code is the right remediation path.

03 / WHAT YOU GET

A technical AWS audit you can act on

FINDINGS

What is risky

Evidence-backed issues across security, architecture, operations, and cost.

PRIORITIES

What to fix first

A short roadmap that separates urgent work from later improvements.

REMEDIATION CODE

How to fix it

Concrete steps plus CDK or Terraform snippets/templates where useful.

Differentiator: the audit is done by technical personnel, not sales or generic consulting staff

04 / SAMPLE REPORT

05 / RECURRING CHECKS

Turn the audit into recurring AWS assurance

After the audit, we can periodically verify the controls your team rarely has time to test: restores, alarms, observability, IAM hygiene, exposed paths, and cost waste.

The goal is evidence that the account is still healthy, not just a one-time snapshot.

01

Recovery checks

Backup restore tests, RPO/RTO evidence, recovery ownership, and restore runbooks.

02

Observability checks

Alarm coverage, alert routing, dashboards, log retention, and whether signals are actionable.

03

Security hygiene

IAM key age, public ingress, privileged access paths, S3 exposure, and exception review.

04

Cost hygiene

Idle resources, log growth, NAT/data transfer patterns, rightsizing candidates, and budget signals.

06 / FAQ

Questions before the audit

Straight answers about access, remediation, reports, recurring checks, and audit evidence.

We agree the scope first and use read-only AWS access wherever possible. For remediation work, write access is limited to the agreed resources and changes.

No. Automated findings are useful, but the audit adds technical context, business tradeoffs, remediation steps, code where useful, and a prioritized roadmap.

Yes. Findings can be remediated with hands-on implementation, Terraform/CDK templates, operating procedures, or a combination of those.

Yes, when infrastructure as code is the right remediation path. The goal is to prevent the same issue from coming back later.

Yes. We can keep running recurring checks for restore readiness, alarms, IAM hygiene, exposed paths, retention, and cost waste.

Yes. Restore tests can be planned and documented for compliance and audit requirements, including evidence of owner, timing, result, and follow-up actions.

Yes. Startup audits document practical tradeoffs around cost, speed, and risk instead of blindly recommending enterprise-level architecture too early.

Yes. Enterprise and regulated reports can focus on governance, separation of duties, evidence, encryption, recovery proof, and organization-wide guardrails.

The report is based on business context, AWS maturity, constraints, compliance needs, and the real risks found in the account.

It depends on the number of accounts, workloads, and depth of remediation. The first step is a short call to define scope and access.

You get a remediation roadmap. From there, we can help fix the priority items and optionally keep a recurring check dashboard active.
