AWS Cloud Security

Protect AWS environments with tailored security controls. Forgepath assesses and hardens your AWS Organizations, identities, networks, and data services—turning best practices into guardrails your teams can run with.

Harden the foundations that attackers target

Assessment & Hardening Built for AWS Scale

Misplaced permissions, exposed services, and patchy logging create real risk in AWS. Forgepath reviews your architecture—AWS Organizations & accounts, IAM & IAM Identity Center, VPC networking, data services (S3, RDS, DynamoDB), and workloads (EKS/ECS/Lambda)—then implements right-sized controls that match how you ship. We emphasize least privilege, encryption, network isolation, and complete auditability across regions and accounts.

We align to recognized guidance (AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar, CIS AWS Foundations, and your sector expectations) without forcing a one-size-fits-all template. Deliverables include a prioritized remediation plan, reference architectures, and optional infrastructure-as-code examples so improvements stick.

Secure What Matters

Fortify Your AWS Cloud

From multi-account guardrails to service-level hardening, we make AWS safer without slowing delivery.

Coverage where it matters most.

  • Organization & Accounts: AWS Organizations design, landing zone/Control Tower, SCP strategy, account baselines.

  • Identity: IAM roles/policies, permission boundaries, cross-account access, IAM Identity Center/SSO, CIEM posture.

  • Network: VPC design, subnets, routing, security groups/NACLs, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway, WAF/Shield patterns.

  • Data & Workloads: S3 (block public access, bucket policies), KMS key policies, Secrets Manager/Parameter Store, RDS/EBS/EFS encryption, EKS/ECS/Lambda controls, API Gateway.

  • Detection & Logging: CloudTrail org trails, Config rules, GuardDuty/Detective, Security Hub standards, CloudWatch/EventBridge alerts, Macie, Backup.

Issues we routinely surface—and fix.

  • Over-permissive IAM (wildcards, missing boundaries, stale roles) and risky cross-account trusts.

  • Public or overly broad S3 access, weak KMS key policies, secrets in code or user data.

  • Flat networks and wide-open security groups, internet-exposed management planes.

  • EKS/ECS misconfigurations (privileged pods, missing policy enforcement, node role sprawl).

  • Incomplete telemetry—no org-level CloudTrail, partial Config coverage, GuardDuty disabled in regions.

Actionable outputs that teams can adopt immediately.

  • Prioritized remediation plan with risk/effort mapping and owner assignments.

  • Reference architectures & diagrams for identity, network, and data guardrails.

  • Policy & IaC examples: SCPs, IAM policy patterns, S3/KMS templates, baseline Config/GuardDuty/Security Hub settings.

  • Changelogs & test steps to validate fixes in dev/stage before production.

Secure by design—collaboratively.

  • Access model: read-only roles and workshop sessions; change implementation happens with your teams.

  • Dev-first delivery: Git-friendly recommendations (Terraform/CloudFormation), minimal blast-radius rollouts, and clear rollback guidance.

  • Enablement: short clinics for platform/DevOps to adopt guardrails and avoid regressions.

What helps us move fast.

  • Account/OU inventory and region list, current SCPs and baseline policies.

  • Access to IaC repos (if used), identity provider details, and logging/monitoring configuration.

  • Contact points for platform, networking, security, and data owners.
