AWS Security & Compliance

Secure, compliant AWS environments without slowing down innovation.

How We Help

Security and compliance on AWS require more than ticking boxes, they demand a proactive, layered approach that protects your data, meets regulatory requirements, and enables your teams to move fast with confidence. MakeCloud helps you build and maintain secure AWS environments without slowing down innovation.

As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, we bring deep security expertise across IAM, network architecture, data protection, threat detection, and compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and Cyber Essentials.

Our AWS security and compliance services include:

Security Architecture & Design: design secure VPC topologies, network segmentation, and zero-trust access patterns that protect your workloads from the ground up
IAM & Access Management: implement least-privilege IAM policies, role-based access, SSO integration, and multi-account governance with AWS Organisations and AWS Control Tower
Data Protection & Encryption: encrypt data at rest and in transit using KMS, ACM, and Secrets Manager, with key rotation policies and audit trails
Compliance & Audit Readiness: map your AWS environment against regulatory frameworks, close gaps, and maintain continuous compliance with AWS Config, Security Hub, and automated evidence collection
Threat Detection & Incident Response: deploy GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and automated remediation to detect, investigate, and respond to security events in real time
Security Reviews & Penetration Testing: assess your AWS environment for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack vectors with actionable remediation guidance

AWS Security & Compliance FAQs

Answers to common questions about our AWS security and compliance services.

Can you help us align our AWS environment with SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Yes. We map your existing AWS environment against SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, identify gaps, and implement the required technical and procedural controls using AWS-native services such as IAM, CloudTrail, Config, and Security Hub.

Will improving security slow down our development teams?

Our approach is to embed security into your delivery pipelines using automation and guardrails. By using compliance-as-code, AWS Config rules, and pre-approved patterns, teams can move quickly while staying within agreed security boundaries.

Do you provide ongoing monitoring or just one-off audits?

We offer both. We can perform one-off security architecture reviews and also set up continuous monitoring using GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudTrail, backed by automated remediation with Lambda and AWS Config rules.

How do you handle incident response on AWS?

We help you create an incident response plan tailored to AWS, including runbooks, escalation paths, and evidence collection processes. During an incident, we support rapid investigation, containment, and remediation using AWS-native tooling and best practices.
