A fixed-scope, 7 to 14 day sprint that hardens the AWS controls most likely to fail a SOC 2 audit, block an enterprise deal, or cause a preventable incident. Delivered by one practitioner, on a fixed price, with no long-term contract.
Seed to Series B startups and small SaaS teams, five to one hundred fifty people, running production on AWS with no dedicated security hire yet.
AWS-based small businesses with real customer data and real exposure, even without venture funding behind them.
MSPs and boutique dev agencies who build on AWS for clients and want a security specialist to bring in rather than build the practice in-house.
These are not hypothetical risks. They are the specific, common findings we run into in AWS accounts that scaled faster than anyone had time to secure them.
Nobody remembers who has root access, MFA is inconsistent, and one shared login has more reach than anyone realizes.
Old contractor accounts, wildcard permissions, and roles nobody remembers creating. Nobody has time to clean it up until something forces the issue.
Logging looks complete until you check a secondary region or an old account nobody uses anymore, and find a blind spot.
Backups exist somewhere, probably, but nobody has actually tried restoring one to confirm it would work when it matters.
The audit is coming and nobody is confident the AWS side will hold up to scrutiny, but there is no time to find out the hard way.
An enterprise prospect's security questionnaire lands, and there is nothing concrete to point to that shows the account has been reviewed.
The first sprint stays tight on purpose. A narrow scope is what makes the fixed price and the short timeline possible.
Root account and MFA review, IAM users and roles audit, CloudTrail and logging coverage, S3 bucket and data protection checks, and backup and recovery verification.
What we found, what we fixed, what's recommended next. Written in plain language, formatted to hand to an investor, a customer, or an auditor.
Not part of the first sprint. If you need one, we will tell you plainly and point you toward it rather than pad the scope.
We stay inside AWS. Multi-cloud environments and application-level code are a separate conversation, not this sprint.
A thirty-minute call to confirm scope, get scoped and time-limited access, and set the two working session dates.
Live, sixty to ninety minutes. We review root account, MFA, and IAM findings together on screen.
CloudTrail, S3, and backup review. Findings get logged as we find them, not batched to the end.
We review remaining findings, fix what we can together live, then deliver the final report on a closing call.
A documented list of every finding, rated by severity, in language your team and your leadership can both act on.
Fixes made live during the two working sessions, not just a list of things to do later on your own.
A before and after report built to attach to a SOC 2 kickoff, an enterprise security questionnaire, or an investor diligence request.
Book a fifteen-minute fit check. If it's not a match, we will tell you directly instead of trying to make it one.
