  • • S3 protection (data exfiltration)
  • • Lambda network activity monitoring

Amazon Inspector

Automated vulnerability assessment for EC2, Lambda, and ECR container images. Continuous scanning with prioritized findings.

  • • Software composition analysis (SCA)
  • • Network reachability analysis
  • • CVE detection with CVSS scoring
  • • CI/CD integration (shift-left)

AWS WAF

Web application firewall with managed rule groups, rate limiting, bot control, and custom rules for OWASP Top 10 protection.

  • • IAM Access Analyzer
  • • Permission boundaries
  • • SCP (Service Control Policies)
  • • Role-based access (RBAC/ABAC)

Compliance Frameworks

Automated compliance monitoring and evidence collection using AWS Config, Security Hub, and Audit Manager.

SOC 2

SOC 2 Type II

Trust service criteria automation with continuous evidence collection and control monitoring.

HIPAA

HIPAA

Healthcare compliance with PHI encryption, access controls, audit logging, and BAA management.

PCI

PCI DSS

Payment card security with network segmentation, encryption, access control, and vulnerability scanning.

ISO

ISO 27001

Information security management system with risk-based controls and continuous improvement.

Compliance Automation Architecture

// Continuous Compliance Pipeline
AWS Config Rules → Non-compliant finding → EventBridge
  → SSM Automation Runbook → Auto-remediate
  → Security Hub aggregation → Dashboard
// Evidence Collection
AWS Audit Manager → Automated evidence → S3 archive
  → Assessment reports → Auditor access portal
