AWS Security Audit

Know Where You Stand on AWS Security. Fix What Actually Matters.

An independent, evidence-based AWS Security Audit from an Advanced Partner — IAM, network, data protection, logging, and Well-Architected alignment. Severity-rated findings. Fixed price.

For most teams, AWS security is ‘probably fine’. But ‘probably’ is not the standard your cyber insurer, your auditor, or your Board is looking for. StableLogic delivers a fixed-scope, fixed-price assessment of your AWS security posture — what is actually working, where it has drifted, and what needs to change first. You leave the engagement with a prioritised remediation roadmap you own — and no obligation to engage us to fix it.

‘Probably Secure’ Is Not the Standard Anyone Will Sign Off On

IAM Drift

IAM has accumulated years of permissions, service accounts, and access keys. Nobody is confident who can do what, or whether dormant identities still exist.

Network Drift

Security groups and routing have drifted from the original design. 0.0.0.0/0 entries appear, public exposure creeps in, and nobody can fully explain it.

Cyber Insurance Pressure

Renewal questionnaires now ask for evidence of cloud security controls — encryption, logging, MFA, backup. The team is improvising answers, not citing a baseline.

Compliance Scope

ISO 27001, SOC 2, or sector-specific audits now treat AWS as in-scope. Auditors want documented controls — not ‘we think it’s covered’.

What we audit

Three pillars. One independent verdict.

Each pillar is severity-rated against AWS and CIS benchmarks, with prioritised remediation guidance you can act on.

Identity, Network & Data

We assess the front line of AWS security — who has access, what is exposed, and how data is protected. Findings are severity-rated against AWS and CIS benchmarks, with prioritised remediation guidance.

Key capabilities
  • IAM users, roles, policies and MFA review
  • Service Control Policies and AWS Organizations
  • Security group and NACL drift
  • Public exposure (S3, RDS, EC2, load balancers)
  • Encryption at rest and in transit (KMS, EBS, S3, RDS)
  • Secrets management

Logging, Monitoring & Detection

If you cannot see it, you cannot defend it. We assess whether your AWS environment is generating, retaining, and acting on the security signals it should — and whether the right people would actually know if something happened.

Key capabilities
  • CloudTrail coverage and integrity
  • VPC Flow Logs and DNS logging
  • GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config
  • Detection rules and alert routing
  • Log retention, immutability and access
  • Incident response readiness

Well-Architected & Compliance Alignment

We map your environment against the AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar and the control frameworks that matter to you — ISO 27001, SOC 2, cyber insurance, and sector-specific requirements. The output is evidence your auditors and insurer can use.

Key capabilities
  • AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar review
  • ISO 27001 Annex A control mapping
  • Cyber insurance questionnaire support
  • Backup and disaster recovery posture
  • Patching and runtime security
  • Documented controls suitable for audit evidence
Full audit scope

Ten areas. Fixed before the engagement starts.

Buyers want to see the audit is thorough — not a checklist. This is the full coverage of every engagement.

04Data ProtectionEncryption at rest (KMS, EBS, S3, RDS), encryption in transit, public S3 buckets, sensitive data exposure.
05Secrets ManagementSecrets Manager / Parameter Store usage, secret rotation, hard-coded credentials.
06Logging & VisibilityCloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config, retention and immutability.
07Detection & ResponseAlert routing, on-call coverage, runbooks, incident response readiness.
08Backup & RecoveryBackup coverage, recovery testing, immutability, cross-account / cross-region resilience.

What you get

Four deliverables. Yours to keep and share.

Deliverable 01

Executive Summary

A short, Board-ready document explaining where the AWS environment stands, the highest risks, and the recommended sequence of action. Written for non-technical decision-makers.

Deliverable 02

Findings Register

Every finding documented with evidence, severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational), affected resource, and remediation guidance. The artefact your security and engineering teams will work from.

Deliverable 03

Prioritised Remediation Roadmap

A sequenced plan grouped into Quick Wins (days), Tactical Fixes (weeks), and Strategic Improvements (quarters). Estimated effort and dependency notes included.

Deliverable 04

Findings Readout

A live walk-through of the findings with your team — Q&A and contextual challenge. Optional, included in the engagement.

Recent AWS Security Engagements

Three examples of clients moving from inherited or weak AWS security to a documented, defensible baseline.

Self-Storage — Easystorage

Inherited Environment Remediation

ChallengeInherited an AWS environment from a previous provider — did not reflect AWS best practice and carried significant security and reliability risk.

SolutionFull assessment of the environment, followed by infrastructure redesign and remediation to AWS best-practice standard.

OutcomeMeasurable improvement in both security posture and operational reliability — environment moved from inherited risk to a documented, defensible baseline.

Construction — CSCS

AWS Best Practice Baseline

ChallengeWeak AWS infrastructure with inadequate backup and recovery capability — significant availability and data risk, with no clear baseline of where they stood.

SolutionStableLogic took ownership, baselined the environment, implemented proper backup and disaster recovery architecture, and brought infrastructure to AWS best-practice standard.

OutcomeOperational confidence and resilience delivered. Infrastructure now meets AWS best-practice standard with documented controls.

Telecoms — Firstcom Europe

Built to AWS Best Practice

ChallengeCritical workloads running across traditional on-premises data centres — moving to AWS without recreating the same security and architectural debt.

SolutionStableLogic designed and executed full migration to AWS, with security and Well-Architected alignment built in from day one.

OutcomeTransformation in security posture and service availability. Modern, scalable platform built to AWS best practice from day one — not retrofitted later.

Frequently Asked Questions

All ten areas listed in the ‘Full Audit Scope’ section — identity, account governance, network, data, secrets, logging, detection, backup and recovery, patching, and framework alignment. Scope is fixed before the engagement starts so there are no surprises.

Typical engagements run 3–5 weeks from kick-off to findings readout, depending on the size and complexity of the AWS estate. We will confirm the timeline during the free scoping call.

Four deliverables: an executive summary, a severity-rated findings register, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and a live findings readout. All artefacts are yours to keep and share with auditors, insurers, or other providers.

We can — but you are not obliged to engage us. The audit is a discrete, fixed-price product. If you would like StableLogic to remediate, that is a separate scope, typically delivered through Application Modernisation or AWS Managed Services.

Yes — and that is one of the most common reasons clients commission it. The findings register and Well-Architected mapping are designed to be used as audit evidence and to answer cyber-insurance questionnaires with documented control statements rather than assurances.

No. The audit is independent of your operating model. Many clients commission the audit precisely because they want a second opinion on what their incumbent provider is delivering. The roadmap is provider-agnostic.
