THE AUDIT

AWS Cost & Risk Audit

GUARANTEE

We find annual savings worth 3x our fee, or at least 5 high risks in your security and architecture, or you do not pay

One report, one roadmap and one guarantee covering cost leaks, hidden risks and architecture design

01 / COST

Where the money leaks

  • 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

02 / RISK

Where the risk hides

  • Security review across IAM, public exposure, encryption, logging, secrets, and account baseline
  • Architecture design review across networking, service fit, reliability, backup/restore, and deployment path
  • Risk register with severity, evidence, impact, and recommended remediation order

HOW IT WORKS

Built 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.

Three fixed tiers sized to your environment: Starter at 2,500 euro (up to 2 accounts), Standard at 5,500 euro (up to 5 accounts), and Advanced at 12,500 euro (multi-account organizations). Bigger setups get a fixed proposal after a short scoping call.

Yes. Every tier is the same full audit covering cost, security, and architecture design at a fixed price, with the scope confirmed before we start and no hourly billing. The guarantee applies to every tier: we find annual savings worth 3x our fee, or at least 5 high risks in your security and architecture, or you do not pay.

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.

Delivery is fixed per tier: 5 days for Starter, 10 days for Standard, and 25 days for Advanced. Custom scopes get their own timeline in the proposal.

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