AWS Security Assessment and Security Response

This bundled Professional Services offering combines two complementary AWS security solutions - the AWS Baseline Security Assessment and the AWS Automated Security Response - into a single, end-to-end engagement delivered by Cloud On Demand.

The engagement begins with a structured assessment of your AWS environment against the AWS Well-Architected Framework and AWS Security Hub best practices. Findings from the assessment directly inform the deployment of an automated remediation framework that resolves security issues without manual intervention, at scale and across multiple AWS accounts.

Phase 1: AWS Baseline Security Assessment The assessment phase evaluates your foundational AWS security controls. It scans for critical misconfigurations and vulnerabilities — including improper network isolation, S3 public access exposure, IAM policy gaps, and unencrypted resources - and delivers a clear report with prioritised, actionable remediation guidance.

Phase 2: AWS Automated Security Response Building on the assessment findings, Cloud On Demand deploys the Automated Security Response framework, which enhances AWS Security Hub with pre-defined automated playbooks. When Security Hub detects a finding, the solution immediately triggers the appropriate remediation action — logging all activity, sending notifications via SNS, and integrating with existing ticketing systems such as Jira or ServiceNow.

Key capabilities of the automated response layer include: • Centralised multi-account security management via a single AWS Security Hub console • Pre-configured compliance playbooks for CIS, NIST, and PCI-DSS standards • Automated notifications and ticketing integrations (SNS, Jira, ServiceNow) • Full audit logging of all automated remediation actions taken • Infrastructure-as-code deployment via AWS CloudFormation — ready to deploy, no custom integration required
