SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001 & GDPR Compliance Readiness on AWS

Customers, investors and enterprise buyers ask for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA before they sign. For most startups the blocker is not the audit itself; it is an AWS environment that was never configured with compliance in mind.

The good news: AWS is already SOC 2 certified at the infrastructure level. Your hosting, compute and networking do not need separate certification, so your compliance effort covers only the application layer: access controls, logging, encryption and how you use AWS services. That means less work, a smaller audit scope and fewer controls to implement.

Perfsys is an AWS Select Tier Consulting Partner and an authorized AWS reseller through TD SYNNEX. We configure the AWS controls that close the gap between what AWS provides and what auditors expect.

In an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review for a London fintech , we uncovered 20+ critical vulnerabilities, rotated an IAM access key active for 1,198 days, identified 41% potential workload savings and helped the client secure $5,000 in AWS credits.

1. Security Review and Gap Assessment. We audit your current setup: IAM, VPC, encryption and public exposure. You get a prioritized list of findings mapped to your target framework.

2. Controls Implementation. We implement the fixes and configure the AWS foundation auditors expect to see. We can do everything, or hand off a clear action plan to your team.

3. Audit Evidence Readiness. We prepare audit evidence and make sure Vanta or Drata collect it without gaps, so your automated compliance checks pass.

• Access controls and IAM: least-privilege policies, role-based access, MFA enforcement and clean permission structures
• Logging and audit trails: AWS CloudTrail for API activity, AWS Config for configuration tracking, centralized log storage with proper retention
• Threat detection: Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Security Hub for centralized findings
• Account guardrails: AWS Control Tower and Service Control Policies, so new accounts inherit compliance controls automatically
• Data protection: encryption at rest and in transit, environment separation and data governance
• Compliance automation: AWS accounts prepared for Vanta or Drata

• SOC 2: Trust Services Criteria mapping and audit evidence preparation
• HIPAA: encryption, access logging and BAA-eligible AWS services aligned with technical safeguards
• ISO 27001: security controls mapped to ISO requirements
• GDPR: data residency, access controls and processing audit trails

• Single AWS account: 2 to 4 weeks
• Multi-account AWS Organizations with Control Tower: 4 to 6 weeks
• Typical investment: $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the number of accounts, the framework and your current state

A clean setup is faster than remediating an existing environment. We scope upfront, so you know the cost before we start.

Security is continuous, not a one-time checkbox. Through CloudCare managed services  we provide ongoing monitoring, patching, control updates and periodic reviews. All clients also get 5% off all AWS spend through our TD SYNNEX reseller partnership.

• You provide: a technical point of contact, access to the AWS accounts in scope and participation in the gap review

• Startups with a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit coming and an AWS environment never configured for compliance
• Teams whose AWS Config, GuardDuty or Control Tower run on default settings that will not satisfy auditors
• Companies whose Vanta or Drata checks keep failing
• Teams that built and shipped fast and now need to secure what was skipped
