01 / COST

AWS Cost Leak Audit

GUARANTEE

Find 3x our fee in annual AWS savings or you do not pay.

For teams whose AWS bill keeps climbing without a clear owner, cleanup plan, or confidence that spend maps to real product value.

  • Cost Explorer and usage review across compute, storage, databases, logs, and network transfer
  • Idle, oversized, duplicated, or forgotten resources ranked by annualized savings
  • Savings Plan, commitment, retention, lifecycle, and tagging recommendations
  • A practical savings roadmap with safe first fixes and optional implementation support

02 / RISK

AWS Security & Architecture Risk Review

GUARANTEE

Find your top 7 AWS security and architecture risks or you do not pay.

For founders and CTOs who need confidence before scaling, launching, enterprise review, compliance work, or a major customer conversation.

  • Security review across IAM, public exposure, encryption, logging, secrets, and account baseline
  • Architecture review across networking, service fit, reliability, backup/restore, and deployment path
  • Risk register with severity, evidence, impact, and recommended remediation order
  • 30/60/90-day roadmap with code, runbooks, and implementation support where useful

HOW IT WORKS

A short engagement designed to produce decisions, not slide decks.

01

Scope

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

02

Review

An engineer reviews cost, security, architecture, operations, and evidence.

03

Rank

You get the opportunities and risks sorted by business impact and effort.

04

Act

You receive the fixes, roadmap, and optional hands-on remediation support.

AFTER THE AUDIT

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.

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.

Pick the cost audit if the bill is the pain. Pick the risk review if security, reliability, compliance, or scaling confidence is the pain. If both matter, we can scope them together.
