4. Business Continuity: By improving resilience through better disaster recovery and backup strategies, the assessment helps ensure business continuity in the face of disruptions.

Supports Digital Sovereignty:

1. Control: The service analyzes your current state regarding access, data protection & localization, and resilience. It provides a short-term plan for remediation and a medium-term plan to manage and improve your posture going forwards.
2. Compliance: By evaluating the security measures, access & localization policies in place and identifying gaps, the Security Posture Assessment helps you align your policies and practices with regional and industry-specific requirements.
3. Resilience: The service analyzes your policies on disaster recovery, backup, storage, and use of availability zones. It also validates what is currently deployed and provides actionable guidance to remediate any gaps. This, together with the remediation plan for vulnerabilities, ensures that you have the compliant and robust digital infrastructure that you need.

Delivery Approach:

1. Kick-off: Introduce resources and stakeholders, finalize the questionnaire, and agree on the workshop outline, schedule, and attendees.
2. Consolidated Security Assessment (workshop-based): Collect details on topics such as organizational security, operating processes & procedures, security & resilience policies, compliance validation, and security & compliance strategy.
3. Infrastructure Security Assessment: Utilize tooling to collect and analyze data to identify vulnerabilities and assess the security posture of your cloud infrastructure.
4. Analysis and Report Preparation: The data from both the workshops and tooling is brought together and analyzed as a whole. A detailed report and executive summary are then synthesized from this.
5. Consolidation & Presentation: Provide an executive summary and detailed issue report, along with a prioritized short- and medium-term remediation plan.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your AWS cloud environment is secure, compliant, and resilient, providing peace of mind and supporting your organization's digital transformation goals.
