AWS Security Review // Echelon Risk + Cyber

Gain assurance in your AWS environment.

Improve your cloud security posture with confidence and clarity.

Gain Confidence and Clarity

Cyber-aware organizations understand the need for cloud security, even if the data sits in another organization’s data center. AWS is subject to the same attacks and vulnerabilities as any other on-premises solution and the rapid adoption of these technologies introduces new risks to your environment.

Our cloud security experts will shed some light on the current privacy, security, and compliance efforts of your AWS environment. You’ll gain confidence and clarity around the shared responsibility model with an AWS security review.

Collaborative Services to Close Gaps and Reduce Risk

Assessment Planning and Scoping

We help identify gaps in your AWS instance against best practices and provide a clear concise remediation road map to close those gaps.

To achieve this, we employ the following proven methodology:

Develop an understanding of your AWS environment by mapping out which AWS services are being used and their respective business functions
Develop a project communication plan and protocols
Define an assessment workplan encompassing all the security review domains
Define deliverable expectations and reporting requirements

AWS Security Review

Upon the completion of the assessment planning and scoping, we begin the security review. We champion the security review and collaborate with your team to perform an analysis.

Our process is specifically designed to help you develop a deeper understanding of the current state of your AWS instance, and includes the following steps:

Conduct a launch meeting with key stakeholders and SMEs
Communicate workplan and expectations
Conduct in-depth information gathering sessions for all security controls
Request, obtain, and review policies, procedures, and evidence artifacts for all controls
Provide regular project status updates via meetings, reports or other agreed upon mechanisms
Document the assessment results in a detailed report
Review all drafts and final deliverables collaboratively with you
