Governance through AWS Control Tower

No need to spend long cycles of time and effort building detailed requirements around controls and guardrails. Don’t worry about over restricting cloud environments, blocking team’s delivery. Instead, leverage ICF Next proven approach to achieve value and visibility quicker. By leveraging pre-built, automated baseline configurations, you will quickly gain visibility into your ecosystem, without disruption from large architecture changes. This will allow you to make the right governance decisions, enabling the business. We will start by completing the following:

• Align on Governance Approach

  • Review customer responsibilities, organization charts, and develop organization unit (OU) structure
  • Determine level of visibility needed for initial deployment

• Baseline deployment of Control Tower

  • Deploy standard configurations, including AWS Guard Duty
  • Migrate existing AWS accounts into new Control Tower account structure
  • Leverage increased level of visibility to assess ecosystem

• Review initial deployment for improvements

  • Improved visibility from Control Tower Dashboard
  • Purpose built controls deployed through Landing Zones
  • Cost saving opportunities identified through AWS Trusted Advisor
  • Additional training

With the additional visibility into your cloud ecosystem, we can make informed decisions around where to tighten governance controls, manage cloud spend, or deploy additional visibility settings. Our team will work with you to understand your existing security and governance posture, compared to risk profiles, and identify areas for improvement. As your ecosystem evolves, and new solutions are deployed, it’s critical to update your Control Tower implementation through the on-going ICF Next support.
