SECURE, OPTIMIZE, AND STREAMLINE YOUR CLOUD WITH EXPERT AUDITS
Ensure your cloud infrastructure is secure, cost-effective, and compliant. Our comprehensive audits cover security reviews, resource optimization, and detailed architecture assessments to keep your cloud environment running smoothly.
Holisticon’s Cloud Audit offers a detailed and comprehensive assessment of your cloud infrastructure. It’s a preventive investment that aims to manage risks connected to your company’s cloud operations. Our experts evaluate your security posture, cost efficiency, architectural integrity, and compliance standards to help you optimize your cloud environment for better performance and security.
Security Assurance
You want to think about your Cloud strategy in a preventive manner, not when it’s too late. Many of our clients have concerns about data breaches, security incidents, and cyber threats, which become the main triggers for ordering external audits.
Cost Optimization
With scale comes cost. We’ve seen project budgets spiral out of control due to unexpectedly high cloud bills or unclear cost structures. Multiple environments, pipelines, and tools are necessary but should be designed for scale with costs in mind.
Regulatory Compliance
Regulations are especially demanding in many industries we work with.
Audits ensure the cloud environment adheres to regulatory requirements, avoiding legal penalties and fostering customer trust.
Performance Improvement
Clients focus on performance when facing suboptimal application issues, especially during downtime that leads to losses. High Availability is recommended to prevent a single component failure from causing system-wide downtime. An audit reviews cloud architecture and network setup to improve performance and reliability.
Disaster Recovery Readiness
Uncertainty about the effectiveness of current DR/Backup strategies triggers businesses to spend time and resources on this. Nobody plans incidents; everyone should account for that. A thorough review of disaster recovery and backup plans ensures the business can quickly recover from disruptions, minimizing downtime and data loss.
Data Governance
Data governance process improvement can address issues with data management and integration. We approach that by ensuring proper data structures, formats, and management practices, facilitating better data integration and analysis.
The Standard Audit Process is customized to meet clients’ needs, focusing on key areas. It starts with a security review, assessing vulnerabilities, access control, third-party access, compliance, and incident response. Resource management and network architecture are evaluated for efficiency, security, and real-time monitoring. Application architecture is analyzed for strengths and adaptability. Automation solutions are implemented for scalability. Documentation is reviewed for compliance, while disaster recovery and backup strategies are assessed. Compliance checks ensure alignment with industry-specific regulations.
Security review (including 3rd party access)
We assess vulnerabilities, access control, authentication mechanisms, and third-party access through contracts and risk assessments. Key areas include data encryption, compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), monitoring, logging, and incident response plans.
Resources helper
Here, we assess provisioning and de-provisioning processes to guarantee they adhere to best practices, preventing resource sprawl and unauthorized usage. We also review automated resource management tools and monitoring solutions to ensure they provide real-time insights and alerts on resource usage, performance, and potential security issues.
Traffic and network setup
We refine your network architecture, including VPCs, subnets, and routing tables, to improve efficiency and reduce latency. This involves using load balancers and routing policies, like AWS ELB and Route 53. We also enhance security by auditing security groups and network ACLs to allow only authorized traffic.
In-depth application architecture analysis
We identify strengths and weaknesses, reviewing design elements like microservices and serverless architectures. We ensure alignment with best practices and business goals, and assess integration points, data flow, and dependencies for seamless operation and future adaptability.
Automation implementations
We identify repetitive, time-consuming tasks and implement automation solutions using AWS Lambda, CloudFormation, and Terraform tools. This includes automating infrastructure provisioning, deployment pipelines (CI/CD), monitoring, and incident response. Automation also allows for rapid scaling and adaptation to changing workloads.
Blueprints documentation review
Our goal here is to ensure your existing documentation is compliant with industry standards. We review your existing blueprints, which include architectural diagrams, deployment scripts, and configuration files. This process involves identifying any gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated information and providing recommendations for improvement.
DR/Backup strategies review
Here, we assess your disaster recovery and backup plans. To identify any vulnerabilities or gaps, we evaluate your current strategies, including backup frequency, data redundancy, and recovery time objectives. We may provide recommendations about implementing automated backups, optimizing storage costs, and improving recovery times.
Compliance checks
This service ensures your cloud infrastructure adheres to industry standards and regulations. Industry-specific compliance regulations pose a challenge. GDPR compliance has become a standard in Europe; however, any other regulations in your industry may require additional upfront effort.
