Cloud Compliance Checklist Implementation
Cloud compliance checklists like CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark provide a concrete, actionable set of security controls. We implement the full checklist across your AWS accounts — identity, logging, networking, monitoring — with automated verification and continuous compliance monitoring.

We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Identity and Access Management
CIS Section 1 covers IAM: no root account access keys, MFA on root account (hardware token), no IAM users with console passwords (SSO only), password policy enforcement, access key rotation within 90 days, and unused credentials disabled after 45 days. We implement all controls and set up AWS Config Rules to monitor compliance continuously. Non-compliant resources trigger alerts and automated remediation where safe.
Logging and Monitoring
CIS Sections 2-4 cover logging and monitoring: CloudTrail enabled in all regions with log file validation, CloudTrail logs delivered to an S3 bucket with access logging, VPC Flow Logs enabled on all VPCs, CloudWatch alarms for root account usage, unauthorized API calls, console sign-ins without MFA, and IAM policy changes. We deploy the full set of CloudWatch metric filters and alarms specified in the benchmark, plus Security Hub integration for centralized findings.
Networking
CIS Section 5 covers networking: no security groups allowing 0.0.0.0/0 ingress on administrative ports (22, 3389), VPC default security groups restrict all traffic, VPC peering routes are documented, and network ACLs are configured as a secondary defense layer. We audit existing security groups, remediate open rules, and deploy AWS Config Rules to prevent new non-compliant security groups from being created. Network architecture is documented with data flow diagrams.
Automated Benchmark Compliance
We deploy AWS Security Hub with the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark standard enabled. Security Hub continuously evaluates all resources against benchmark controls and reports a compliance score. Prowler provides additional checks beyond the Security Hub coverage. We target 95%+ compliance score with documented exceptions for any controls that are intentionally not implemented. Monthly compliance reports show score trends and outstanding remediation items.
