AWS security architecture
Account structure, identity, network boundaries and logging designed so an AWS estate stays governable while it grows — and holds up when an auditor asks how access is controlled. We work with what you have rather than insisting on a rebuild.
What usually gets in the way
- Accounts and workloads grown organically, with no consistent guardrails.
- IAM policies far broader than the job actually needs.
- No reliable answer to who can reach production, and how.
- Logging and detection either absent or never reviewed.
- Costs rising without a clear owner for any of it.
- Security requirements arriving late, from a customer questionnaire or an audit.
How we approach it
- Map the current account, identity and network layout as it really is.
- Introduce organisation-level guardrails and a workable account structure.
- Rework IAM towards least privilege without breaking running services.
- Establish centralised logging, detection and alerting that someone actually reads.
- Document the target state and a phased route to it, in priority order.
- Hand over runbooks so your team can maintain the result.
What you end up with
- A clear, documented picture of the environment and its risks.
- Access that can be explained and evidenced to an auditor.
- Detection and logging that surface real problems early.
- A roadmap your team can execute without us in the room.
