Find and fix the AWS security gaps that create audit findings, operational risk, and sleepless nights.
We implement AWS-native controls — identity, logging, detection, encryption, and account structure — that support your compliance program. Your assessor certifies the program; we align the technical baseline so findings stop repeating. Ongoing oversight often sits as Managed Cloud + Security when you already want Alchemy running day-to-day ops.
The problem
AWS adoption often outruns IAM hygiene, logging, and account structure. Audits flag excessive privileges and incomplete trails. Incidents take days to detect because nobody wired alerts anyone trusts.
Audit findings that return every cycle
Over-privileged identities and shared credentials
Blind spots in CloudTrail, Config, or detection tooling
Security work that slows developers without reducing real risk
Who this is for
Healthcare technology, SaaS, and other teams facing SOC 2, HIPAA, or customer security reviews
Organizations whose AWS footprint grew faster than governance
Teams that want enablement-oriented security with practical guardrails
Leaders who need a prioritized risk register they can act on
Outcomes we aim for
A prioritized view of identity, logging, network, encryption, and backup gaps
Guardrails that prevent common mistakes without blocking delivery
Detection and response paths your on-call can actually use
Technical baselines that support — not replace — your compliance program
What we cover
AWS Organizations, account structure, and service-control policies
IAM Identity Center, least privilege, and access reviews
CloudTrail, Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and logging architecture
KMS, encryption, and secrets management patterns
Backup resilience and incident-response readiness
Compliance-mapping support and remediation roadmaps
How we deliver
Baseline review
Assess identity, logging, networking, encryption, backups, and account governance against practical risk.
Prioritize
Produce a risk register with severity, effort, and recommended sequence so leadership can fund the right work first.
Remediate
Implement guardrails, detection, and hardening in waves that developers can absorb.
Operationalize
Leave playbooks and review habits so improvements hold after the engagement.
What you receive
Prioritized AWS security risk register
Recommended control architecture for your account structure

AWS Security Baseline Review
Prioritized review of identity, logging, networking, encryption, backups, and account governance — with a remediation sequence your team can fund in waves.
Prioritized risk register
Recommended control architecture for your account structure
Clear scope: technical controls and readiness that support your compliance program
Security designed as enablement so developers still move fast
AWS-native tooling first, chosen for fit
Practical remediation with clear next steps
Engagement options
Security work usually starts with a baseline review, then fixed-scope remediation waves. For continuous oversight, Managed Cloud + Security packages security operations on top of managed ops. Advisory retainers cover architecture and project capacity when you need build help alongside monitoring.
AWS Security Baseline Review — prioritized risks across identity, logging, networking, encryption, backups, and governance
Remediation waves — implement the highest-priority fixes with clear acceptance criteria
Advisory retainer — architecture, hardening projects, and hands-on capacity on a monthly hour bank
Frequently asked questions
Do you help with HIPAA or SOC 2 on AWS?
We implement AWS-native controls — IAM, logging, GuardDuty, encryption — that support compliance programs. Your assessor certifies the program; we align the technical baseline to your requirements.
How does Managed Cloud + Security relate to Managed Security?
Managed Security is the practice — baseline reviews, remediation, and guardrails. Managed Cloud + Security is packaging: day-to-day managed ops with security operations included. Same team; different engagement shape.
Do you offer Advisory retainers for security work?
Yes. Advisory is a monthly hour bank for architecture, hardening projects, and hands-on tasks. It pairs with Managed Security reviews or Managed Cloud when you need both guidance and ongoing coverage.
How fast can you improve our AWS security posture?
Many teams see meaningful progress in the first few weeks: guardrails, logging, and alert routing. Deeper org-wide change depends on account count and legacy debt.
Will security changes slow down our developers?
We design for enablement — least privilege, automated guardrails, and clear exceptions so teams move fast inside safe boundaries.
Do you sell a security product?
We configure and operate AWS-native controls and processes that fit your environment. If a third-party tool is warranted, we recommend it based on fit — not licensing incentives.
