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.
