Most breaches are not sophisticated — they are public buckets, committed keys, over-privileged roles. The checklist is short; most orgs never work through it.
Identity Is The Perimeter
MFA everywhere. Short-lived credentials. SSO. Quarterly admin audits.
Least Privilege
Every IAM role scoped to needed permissions. Access Analyzer / Policy Analyzer.
Encryption + Rotation
At rest and in transit. KMS. Customer-managed keys for sensitive. Verify rotation actually happened.
Network Segmentation
Public for LB only. Private for app. Isolated for DB. Our security review catches flat networks.
Logging & Alerting
CloudTrail to separate account. Alerts on high-risk events. Annual incident runbook drill.
