Security shouldn’t feel vague, overwhelming, or purely compliance-driven. With an AWS security assessment, Forrict helps you understand your AWS security posture, identify real risks, and improve step by step, without slowing development down.
Why an AWS security assessment?
As AWS environments grow, security risks often grow quietly along with them. Misconfigurations, missing controls, and unclear responsibilities can introduce risk without anyone noticing.
A focused security assessment helps you:
- understand where you stand today
- spot real risks early
- prioritize improvements
- build confidence with stakeholders
Not to point fingers, but to move forward safely.
What we assess in your AWS environment
Our security assessments focus on the areas that matter most in AWS, including:
- Identity and access management (IAM)
- Network security and segmentation
- Logging, monitoring, and detection
- Data protection and encryption
- Account and environment isolation
- Security guardrails and policies
Always tailored to your setup and risk profile.
How the assessment works
-
Scope and context We align on your environment, goals, and constraints.
-
Review and analysis We assess your AWS setup using AWS best practices and real-world experience.
-
Clear findings You get a focused overview of risks, gaps, and priorities, no noise.
-
Practical recommendations Actionable steps your team can actually implement.
This is a collaborative process, not an audit interrogation.
What you get
- Clear insight into your current security posture
- A prioritized list of improvements
- Practical recommendations, not theory
- Shared understanding across teams
- A stronger, more resilient AWS environment
Security becomes something you understand, not something you fear.
When a security assessment is useful
A security assessment is especially valuable if:
- Your AWS environment has grown quickly
- You’re preparing for audits or certifications
- You want to reduce risk without slowing delivery
- You’re unsure if current controls are sufficient
- You want a second opinion from AWS experts
Frequently asked questions
What is an AWS security assessment? A review of your AWS environment on the areas that matter most for security: access rights (IAM), networking, logging and detection, encryption, account separation and the guardrails you have in place.
What do I get afterwards? An overview of risks, gaps and priorities, a prioritized list of improvements and concrete recommendations your team can carry out.
Is this an audit? No. We work with your team to understand how your environment is built and where the risks are. The goal is to improve, not to judge. If you are preparing for an audit or certification, an assessment is good preparation.
How does this relate to a Well-Architected Review? A security assessment focuses on security. A Well-Architected Review looks more broadly at your workload and delivers a report with the high-risk findings plus an improvement plan.
Where is Forrict based? Forrict is based in ‘s-Gravenmoer, in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.
