Security Reviews

AWS Security Review

We review AWS accounts and workloads for risky access, public exposure, weak logging, storage mistakes, backup gaps and configuration issues before they become incidents.

When this helps

Relevant security problems this service is built for

You are unsure whether AWS resources are public, over-permissioned or poorly monitored

IAM users, roles, access keys or admin permissions have grown over time

S3 buckets, EC2 instances, RDS databases or load balancers may be exposed incorrectly

You need practical AWS security priorities before making changes

FAQ

AWS Security Review FAQ

Common questions before starting security review work.

Which AWS services can you review?

We can review common AWS services including IAM, EC2, VPC, security groups, S3, RDS, Route 53, CloudFront, ALB/ELB, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, KMS, Secrets Manager, Lambda, snapshots and backup configuration.

Do you make changes directly in AWS?

Not without approval. For security work we normally review first, explain the risk and agree changes before touching production resources.

Can you help reduce public exposure?

Yes. We check security groups, public IPs, load balancers, S3 policies, DNS and CDN exposure to identify services that should not be publicly reachable.

Can you help after the review?

Yes. After the review we can quote fixed-scope remediation for IAM cleanup, S3 access changes, logging improvements, backup changes or exposed service fixes.

How much does AWS security review work cost?

AWS and cloud review work usually starts from $999, with larger or multi-account reviews quoted separately.

After the fix

Reduce the chance of the same issue returning.

After a fixed-scope issue is resolved, we can also help with monitoring, backups, restore testing, security hardening or ongoing infrastructure support where it makes sense.
