The AWS Security & Risk Assessment is a highly focused consulting engagement. It validates technical scan results, analyzes process gaps through stakeholder interviews, and creates a prioritized remediation roadmap. It transforms generic audit reports into contextualized business risks. This provides the CISO with a practical plan to solve security issues permanently without blocking development.
Overview
This assessment differs fundamentally from traditional, generic cloud security audits. While standard assessments often end in a "report of shame" - hundreds of technical findings without practical guidance - this product answers the central CISO question: "How do I fix these problems for good without stopping development?"
The engagement follows a proven three-phase methodology that combines technical validation with process analysis and business context.
Phase 1 (Discovery & Verification): Automated scan results are ingested and manually validated. Through deep-dive workshops with DevOps and security teams, findings are cross-checked against the specific application architecture. This eliminates false positives and provides context—for example, recognizing that an open S3 bucket might be a legitimate public asset rather than a risk.
Phase 2 (Process Analysis & Root Cause Research): We analyze the human factor, including onboarding/offboarding, secret management workflows, and incident response readiness. This is the critical differentiator. By analyzing processes, we understand why security issues arise (e.g., "developers lack a secure way to share files") instead of just noting that they exist. This leads to systemic solutions instead of quick patches.
Phase 3 (Reporting & Roadmap Creation): Risks are evaluated based on business impact and translated into a phased remediation plan. This plan includes effort estimates, CLI commands, and ownership assignments. The roadmap prioritizes tasks for today, next week, next quarter, and the long term.
The engagement integrates seamlessly with Prowler, so there is no need for repeated data collection. It produces management-ready deliverables: an executive summary with business impact translations, a detailed technical findings register with CVSS scores (Jira-ready), and a strategic roadmap proposing "Governance & Re-architecture" projects as systemic solutions.
Highlights
- Contextual Intelligence Instead of Generic Checklists We manually validate scan results against your specific business context, such as legacy systems or regulatory requirements. Raw alerts are transformed into assessed business risks like "reputational damage" or "operational downtime." Experts with over 10 years of AWS security experience and a deep understanding of CISO needs filter out false positives based on your unique architecture.
- Holistic View: Technology AND Processes We evaluate more than just AWS configurations like IAM or encryption. We also look at gaps in people and processes, such as CI/CD security integration and secret rotation. We distinguish between technical symptoms and organizational root causes. For instance, an "open bucket" is often just a symptom of a missing secure file-sharing process. We provide systemic solutions like governance frameworks and team upskilling.
- Actionable Roadmap with Business Alignment You receive a "triage" plan with a clear sequence of actions. Every remediation item includes an effort estimate in days, assigned responsibilities, and the expected reduction in business risk after the fix. The presentation is board-ready and helps DevOps and security teams focus on clear priorities instead of trying to "fix everything" at once. This is ideal for brownfield environments with over 100 findings.
