Full security posture review of your AWS environment. Security Hub findings, IAM configuration, S3 exposure, and logging gaps assessed. Findings report with risk ratings produced.
Critical Remediation
High and critical findings remediated first. Public S3 buckets locked down, overpermissive IAM policies tightened, and MFA enforced for privileged accounts within the first week.
Baseline Hardening
