Overview
WEI Security Posture Assessment
WEI's AWS Security Posture Assessment helps organizations identify and reduce risk across AWS accounts and workloads through a focused review of cloud security controls, configurations, and architecture. Delivered by WEI's security engiineer and/or architect a, the engagement is designed for CISOs, cloud security leads, and compliance teams in regulated industries - including financial services, healthcare, and SaaS - as well as cloud-native organizations scaling on AWS.
What We Assess
WEI evaluates identity and access management, network security, data protection, logging and detection, and workload configuration hygiene against AWS best practices and relevant security frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. The assessment uncovers misconfigurations, excessive permissions, internet exposure, monitoring gaps, and other security weaknesses that increase operational or compliance risk.
Shift-Left Security Emphasis
Beyond evaluating current environments, WEI identifies recommendations that can be embedded into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code templates, and cloud guardrails - catching issues earlier in the delivery lifecycle rather than after deployment.
Typical Engagement Scenarios
- Pre-launch validation: Reviewing a critical workload's security posture before production go-live in a multi-account environment with 10-50 AWS accounts.
- Multi-account governance: Assessing an AWS Organizations environment spanning multiple business units to standardize security controls and reduce drift.
- Audit readiness: Preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS audits by mapping current controls to framework requirements and closing gaps.
- Post-incident hardening: Strengthening security posture after a security event by identifying root-cause misconfigurations and implementing preventive guardrails.
Engagement Process
- Discovery and scoping - Define target accounts, workloads, and risk priorities.
- AWS configuration and architecture review - Hands-on analysis using read-only access.
- Findings development - Risk-ranked results mapped to AWS security control domains.
- Deliverable presentation - Executive summary and technical roadmap walkthrough.
Deliverables
- Security posture assessment report
- Risk-ranked findings (High / Medium / Low)
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Recommendations mapped to AWS security control domains
- Shift-left security guidance for CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code adoption
- Executive summary for leadership, security, and audit stakeholders
Scope and Prerequisites
Each engagement is scoped around the customer's AWS account structure, target workloads, and risk priorities. Typical prerequisites include:
- Read-only AWS access for WEI security architects to relevant accounts and services
- Availability of security, cloud, and application stakeholders for discovery and review sessions
- Existing architecture and control documentation where available
Multi-account and AWS Organizations environments are supported and may be scoped as extended assessments.
Next Steps
