The Challenge
The customer is a mid-scale startup building a social media platform.
The customer wanted to verify their AWS cloud infrastructure security boundaries, identity privileges, and mitigate deployment risks.
Our Approach
RefactorQ executed a thorough cloud security assessment and hardened the target estate:
- Conducted a detailed analysis of the customer's cloud infrastructure against security compliance pillars
- Identified credential exposures and structural loopholes, and delivered clear remediation options
- Implemented end-to-end encryption standards for all AWS infrastructure database and storage assets
- Configured identity and firewall settings to enforce environment access policies and best practices
- Automated previously manual infrastructure creation steps through Terraform code sheets
Architecture & Workflow
System Flow
Detailed assessment loops identifying security flaws and generating automated Terraform patches.
Impact
Security Flaws Fixed
Isolated and patched old open access ports and permissive policies
Data Encrypted
Forced full data-at-rest encryption across all S3 and EBS stores
IaC Standardized
Converted manual servers into automated, auditable infrastructure scripts
