Our engineers can review common AWS solutions including IAM, EC2, VPC, security hardening 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 hardening work we normally review first, explain the risk and agree changes before touching production resources.

Can you assist reduce public exposure?

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

Can you assist 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 solution fixes.
