FOUR SURFACESAccount structure, network boundaries, and data protection for AWS environments.
AWS Security02 / CONTROLSeparate human and workload access. Reduce credentials that outlive their purpose.
IAM & Access03 / PIPELINEMove AWS evidence into the SOC without losing ownership, context, or control.
Logging & SIEM04 / SIGNALTurn logs and findings into detection paths that end with a named owner.
Detection & ResponseSecurity is an operating model, not a product.
Built from nine years of security work across cloud infrastructure, SOC operations, and third-party platforms. We document the owner, the permission path, the failure mode, and the verification step. If it cannot be reproduced, it does not ship.
