Cloud & Operations

Cloud security & compliance engineering.

FedRAMP-aware. NIST-aligned. Hardened for regulated environments.

We assess cloud security posture, harden IAM and network controls, and design architectures aligned to FedRAMP and NIST 800-53 control requirements — with documentation your security and compliance teams can actually use.

01 · The problem we solve

Why cloud security posture deteriorates over time.

01

Cloud security was configured at launch and never revisited

Security settings configured during initial deployment drift over time. New services, new team members, and new infrastructure get added without consistent security review.

02

Compliance requirements are growing — and your cloud isn't keeping up

FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, and state data protection requirements are expanding. Cloud environments built for general use often lack the specific controls these frameworks require.

03

IAM policies are too permissive and nobody wants to tighten them

Over-permissive IAM roles and access policies are the most common cloud security risk we find in assessments. They accumulate through convenience decisions and are rarely reviewed after they are set.

02 · What we deliver

Cloud security and compliance services.

From security assessments and IAM hardening to FedRAMP-aware architecture and compliance automation — documented and built for regulated cloud environments.

Cloud Security Assessment

Structured review of your cloud security posture — IAM, network controls, data encryption, logging, and compliance gaps — with a prioritized remediation plan.

Discuss this →

IAM & Access Control Hardening

Review and right-size IAM policies across AWS, Azure, and GCP — least-privilege enforcement, service account management, and cross-account access controls.

Discuss this →

Network Security Architecture

Design and implement secure network architecture — VPCs, security groups, private endpoints, WAF configuration, and network segmentation for regulated environments.

Discuss this →

FedRAMP-Aware Architecture

Design cloud architectures aligned to FedRAMP control families — documentation, boundary definitions, and control implementation for federal and regulated-sector programs.

Discuss this →

Security Monitoring & SIEM Integration

Implement cloud security event logging, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Defender for Cloud, or Chronicle — integrated with your SIEM or SOC workflows.

Discuss this →

Compliance Automation

Automate compliance checks with AWS Config Rules, Azure Policy, or GCP Organization Policies — continuous enforcement rather than point-in-time assessments.

Discuss this →

AI-assisted threat modeling, human-owned decisions

AI-assisted threat modeling and policy analysis helps us move faster through complex cloud environments. Our engineers review every finding and own the remediation decisions — particularly for controls in regulated environments where the stakes are high.

04 · Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What does 'FedRAMP-aware' mean?

FedRAMP-aware means we understand the FedRAMP control framework (NIST 800-53) and design architectures that align to FedRAMP control requirements. We are not a 3PAO and do not perform formal FedRAMP authorization assessments — but we build and document the technical architecture that supports your authorization process.

Do you do penetration testing?

Cloud security hardening is our primary focus — IAM, network controls, logging, and compliance engineering. For penetration testing, we can refer you to a specialized security firm or work alongside one as part of a broader security engagement.

Can you help us with a cloud security assessment before a compliance audit?

Yes. A cloud security assessment is typically a starting point before a formal compliance review. We identify gaps, prioritize remediation, and help you implement the controls your auditor will be looking for — with documentation aligned to the relevant framework.

Do you work with government clouds (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government)?

Yes. We have experience in AWS GovCloud and Azure Government environments. These environments have specific configurations, service availability constraints, and compliance requirements that differ from commercial cloud — and our team is familiar with those distinctions.

How do you handle IAM cleanup in a production environment without breaking things?

Carefully. IAM hardening in production starts with access analysis tools (AWS IAM Access Analyzer, Azure AD Access Reviews) to identify what is actually being used before anything is removed. We implement changes incrementally with rollback plans — not a bulk permission removal.
