Overview
Security Review On Demand from CloudAI is a focused AWS security and compliance review built specifically for SLED environments—state and local government, K-12, higher education, and public-sector research. We assess identity and access management, network segmentation, logging and monitoring, encryption and key management, vulnerability exposure, and guardrail coverage across your AWS estate, then deliver a prioritized findings report with risk rationale, a set of quick wins your team can implement immediately, and a remediation plan that aligns to Zero-Trust principles without slowing delivery.
The engagement is delivered on demand—engage us when you need a focused review, ahead of an audit, after a major architectural change, in response to a finding, or as a standing quarterly cadence. Engagement duration is scoped to your AWS footprint and the frameworks in scope, not to a fixed calendar window. Most Foundation engagements complete within two to three weeks; Standard SLED engagements run four to six weeks; Enterprise Continuous engagements are structured as quarterly reviews across a 12-month term. Final timing and scope are confirmed in the private offer.
Every engagement covers six review domains: (1) identity and access using AWS IAM, AWS IAM Identity Center, AWS IAM Access Analyzer, and Service Control Policies; (2) network segmentation including VPC design, AWS Network Firewall, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, VPC Flow Logs, and Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring; (3) logging and monitoring across AWS CloudTrail organization trails, AWS Security Hub, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS Security Lake; (4) encryption and key management using AWS KMS, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and Amazon Macie for sensitive-data discovery; (5) vulnerability exposure via Amazon Inspector and AWS Config compliance rules; and (6) guardrail coverage via AWS Control Tower controls, AWS Config conformance packs, and AWS Audit Manager continuous evidence collection.
This professional services offering is delivered against, and integrates with, the following AWS services: AWS Security Hub, AWS IAM Identity Center, AWS IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Config, AWS KMS, AWS Audit Manager, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Inspector, Amazon Macie, AWS Organizations, AWS Network Firewall, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Systems Manager, AWS Detective, AWS Security Lake, AWS Resource Access Manager, and AWS Control Tower. The engagement is one component of the broader CloudAI Cloud Optimization portfolio and is designed to interoperate cleanly with our Cloud Governance, Service Catalog & Definition, and Cost Optimization On Demand services—so the SCPs, conformance packs, and tagging baselines we identify here connect directly into your operating model rather than living as orphan recommendations.
Three engagement tiers are available—Foundation, Standard SLED Engagement, and Enterprise Continuous—scaled by the size of your AWS estate, the number of frameworks in scope, and whether you need a one-time review or a standing cadence. We deliver against fixed scope, with milestone-based variable payments available for the Standard and Enterprise Continuous tiers. Pricing shown reflects typical engagement sizes; final pricing is confirmed via a private offer after a scoping call. Eligible public-sector customers may qualify for AWS Partner funding programs to offset engagement cost—we will confirm eligibility during scoping.
Why customers choose CloudAI Security Review On Demand:
- Built for SLED, by SLED practitioners. State, county, K-12, and higher-ed environments have specific procurement, compliance, and operational realities. Our copy, our deliverables, and our remediation playbooks are written for them—not retrofitted from a generic enterprise template.
- Framework-mapped, not framework-flavored. CJIS, StateRAMP, TX-RAMP, FedRAMP Moderate, FERPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, CISA ZTMM, and CMMC are named in the report, control by control, with the AWS evidence to back each finding.
- Quick wins early. We separate the "fix this immediately" findings from the "fund this next quarter" findings. Audits stop being fire drills because remediation begins before the report is even final.
- Zero-Trust alignment without slowing delivery. We sequence remediation so security improves without breaking the developer experience—identity-first, then network, then data, with explicit guardrails so engineering teams keep shipping.
- Continuous, not one-time. The Enterprise Continuous tier delivers four reviews per year with a named security advisor, so compliance posture is a living artifact, not a quarterly surprise.
Highlights
- A 2-week AWS security review built for SLED—state and local government, K-12, higher education, and public-sector research—covering IAM, network segmentation, logging and monitoring, encryption and key management, vulnerability exposure, and guardrail coverage. Deliverables include a prioritized findings report with risk rationale, week-one quick wins, and a Zero-Trust remediation plan your team can start working Monday.
- Framework-mapped to what SLED procurement actually buys against: CJIS Security Policy, StateRAMP, TX-RAMP, FedRAMP Moderate, FERPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and NIST 800-207, plus CMMC for research-grant workloads. Every finding names the framework, names the control, names the AWS service, and names the owner—so the report goes straight to remediation, not interpretation.
- Full AWS-native security stack covered: AWS Security Hub, AWS IAM Identity Center and AWS IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Config, AWS KMS, AWS Audit Manager, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Inspector, Amazon Macie, AWS Network Firewall, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, AWS Detective, AWS Security Lake, and AWS Control Tower. Eligible public-sector customers may qualify for AWS Partner funding to offset engagement cost—ask during scoping.
