The 6 Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework Review

Peritos offers customized security solutions for AWS that are regularly updated to ensure complete protection

Ensuring the Security of Networks and Infrastructure

Secure VPC network segmentation in accordance with on-premises networks (holistic zoning concept). Implementation of suitable perimeter services and next-generation firewalls (e.g., Cloud Guard, Fortinet, etc.).
The undertaking of AWS Site-to-Site VPN, Direct Connect, Private Link.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Designing and Implementing a Security Baseline. Implementing Service Control Policies. We are implementing CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) for third-party vendors such as Netskope, Aqua, and CheckPoint. Help with analyzing AWS policies, regulatory frameworks like PCI, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Application Security

API Security (Authentication & Authorization). Ensuring Security for Microservices (including securing data storage, checking service mesh configurations, and implementing security measures for Kubernetes). Designing a secure native cloud application architecture. Evaluating permission scope for serverless
application security.

Data Protection & Encryption

Enforcing the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP). Creation of fine-grained access policies (e.g., via S3 - bucket policies, IAM (Identity and Access Management) Roles, Permission Sets). Designing deletion concepts based on cloud-native issues like lifecycle policies, tags, etc. Secure the SaaS landscape by implementing CASB Solutions (e.g., Netskope).

Identity Access Management and Alliance

Development of Role concepts. Privileged Access Management (AWS Native, Wallix). Implementing Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud federated Identities (AWS SSO, SAML, Web-Identity Federation). Integrating third Party Vendors (e.g., Okta). Establishing and organizing user identity, access policies, and entitlements.

Logging, Monitoring, SIEM, Threat Detection & Analytics

Implementation of central logging accounts and (native) automated log aggregation (CloudWatch, Lambda, Kinesis). Setting up Monitoring or SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) based on several vendor-specific (e.g., Elastic, Splunk) and AWS native services (e.g., GuardDuty, CloudWatch). Setting up secure operating processes.

PROCESS

How does an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review work

Before the Well-Architected Framework Review can start, a statement of work will need to be electronically signed three days prior to the initial review. If this is not completed, your review will be cancelled automatically, and you will need to reschedule.

The cost of your Well-Architected Framework Review will be $5,000 USD, which covers all phases of the engagement ranging from initial review, tool evaluation, findings/remediation, and AWS funding assistance. A payment of $2,500 USD will be collected at the start of the engagement and $2,500 USD will be collected upon completion and review of the remediations (45% of Critical Items). As part of the project close out, we will also help you get access to AWS funds to assist with the remaining remediations.
