AWS Managed Security

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.

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 — guardrails, not gatekeeping theater
  • Leaders who need a prioritized risk register, not a binder of unread policies

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

  1. Baseline review

    Assess identity, logging, networking, encryption, backups, and account governance against practical risk — not a checklist for its own sake.

  2. Prioritize

    Produce a risk register with severity, effort, and recommended sequence so leadership can fund the right work first.

  3. Remediate

    Implement guardrails, detection, and hardening in waves that developers can absorb.

  4. 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
  • Implemented guardrails and detection within agreed scope
  • Incident-response and access-review playbooks
  • Notes your compliance or audit partners can use

Why Alchemy for AWS security

  • Honest about what we do: technical controls and readiness — not formal certification
  • Security designed as enablement so developers still move fast
  • AWS-native tooling first; no product-push agenda
  • Practical remediation, not slideware

Engagement options

Security work usually starts with a baseline review, then fixed-scope remediation waves. Ongoing support is available when you want continuous guardrail and detection ownership.

  • 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
  • Ongoing security operations support alongside managed cloud

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 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?
No. We configure and operate AWS-native controls and processes that fit your environment. If a third-party tool is warranted, we will say so — without a reseller agenda.
