Tallence validates your AWS security scan results, finds process gaps through stakeholder interviews, and delivers a prioritized remediation roadmap. Generic audit findings become contextualized business risks, giving the CISO a practical plan to solve security issues permanently without blocking development.
Overview
This assessment differs fundamentally from traditional, generic cloud security audits. Standard assessments often end in a "report of shame": hundreds of technical findings without practical guidance. This engagement 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 and Verification Automated scan results are ingested and manually validated. Through deep-dive workshops with DevOps and security teams, findings are cross-checked against your specific application architecture. This eliminates false positives and provides context. For example, an open S3 bucket might be a legitimate public asset rather than a risk.
Phase 2: Process Analysis and 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 and Roadmap Creation Risks are evaluated based on business impact and translated into a phased remediation plan. The plan includes effort estimates, CLI commands, and ownership assignments. It prioritizes tasks for today, next week, next quarter, and the long term.
What you receive
- Executive summary with business impact translations
- Detailed technical findings register with CVSS scores (Jira-ready)
- Strategic roadmap proposing "Governance and Re-architecture" projects as systemic solutions
Tools and AWS services The assessment uses Prowler and Tallence's own developed solutions. The engagement integrates seamlessly with Prowler, so there is no need for repeated data collection. Where reasonable and already used by the customer, AWS Config, AWS Security Hub, and Amazon GuardDuty are used directly.
Scope The standard assessment covers up to 5 AWS accounts. It is ideal for brownfield AWS environments with over 100 findings.
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 of 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.
