Security
Harden Your AWS Infrastructure Against Real Threats
Security is not a one-time checkbox. We review your IAM configuration, network security, and overall AWS security posture, then implement fixes aligned with AWS best practices — explained in plain language, not just a compliance checklist.
Default AWS Settings Are Not Secure Enough
AWS gives you the tools to build a secure environment, but the defaults are rarely sufficient on their own. Overly broad IAM permissions, open security groups, and missing threat detection are common findings in AWS accounts that haven’t had a dedicated security review — and they’re often invisible until something goes wrong.
What CloudSyncPK Does
We audit your IAM roles and policies, review your VPC and security group configuration, and implement hardening measures aligned with AWS security best practices and the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark. We explain every finding and fix in terms you can act on, not just a scored report.
What's Included
IAM role and policy hardening (least privilege)
VPC and security group configuration review
AWS WAF and Shield setup where applicable
GuardDuty threat detection setup
Security audit against CIS AWS benchmarks
Written summary of findings and fixes applied
Who This Is For
Businesses that have never had a formal AWS security review
Companies preparing for a compliance-conscious client or partner
Teams inheriting an AWS account from a previous developer
Anyone wanting a second opinion on their current security setup
Our Process
01
Security Audit
We review your IAM, network, and resource configuration for security gaps.
02
Findings Report
You receive a plain-language report of what we found and why it matters.
03
Hardening Implementation
With your approval, we implement the fixes — IAM tightening, security group changes, and monitoring setup.
04
Verification
We re-check the environment after implementation to confirm the fixes are in place and working correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you claim compliance with specific standards like PCI-DSS or HIPAA?
We are security-aware and align our work with AWS best practices and the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark, but we do not claim formal compliance certification. If you need certified compliance, we can help build a security-conscious foundation, but formal audit and certification would need to be handled by an accredited compliance auditor.
Will security hardening break our existing application?
We test changes carefully and communicate any change that could affect application behaviour before implementing it. Our goal is to tighten security without disrupting your running services.
Do you request our AWS root credentials for this?
No. We work through scoped, temporary IAM access. Root credentials are never requested.
