ABOUT THE CLIENT
A fintech startup preparing for SOC 2 certification with significant security gaps.
THE CHALLENGE
- Fintech startup preparing for SOC 2 Type II audit with no existing compliance framework in place
- AWS infrastructure lacked encryption at rest and in transit for sensitive financial data
- No centralized logging or security monitoring to detect potential threats or breaches
- IAM policies were overly permissive with several users having unnecessary admin access
- Missing network segmentation allowed lateral movement risk between application tiers
THE SOLUTION
ConsultingCrafts designed and executed a comprehensive AWS migration strategy, implementing a secure, scalable, and fully compliant cloud infrastructure.
Technical Implementation
- Enabled AWS GuardDuty for intelligent threat detection across all accounts with automated alerting via SNS
- Deployed AWS WAF with OWASP Top 10 rule sets protecting ALB endpoints from common web attacks
- Implemented KMS customer-managed keys for RDS encryption, S3 bucket encryption, and EBS volume encryption
- Redesigned IAM with least-privilege policies, enforced MFA, and implemented role-based access control
- Configured VPC flow logs and CloudTrail with centralized logging to S3 with lifecycle policies
- Created security runbooks and incident response procedures documented for SOC 2 evidence
