Audit Ready Plus
Pass Your SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI Audit AND Fix Critical Issues
The Audit-Ready Plus Package is a comprehensive, white-glove service that goes beyond identifying issues to actually implementing critical remediations, providing hands-on support throughout your audit process, and ensuring you pass with confidence.
I don't just tell you what needs fixing - I fix it for you, document everything for auditors, and stand alongside your team during the audit itself.
The Audit-Ready Plus Package gives you:
Complete access management review with the same depth as the Gap Analysis Package, mapped to your specific compliance framework
Critical findings remediation implementation, where I directly fix high-priority issues in your AWS environment
Comprehensive audit documentation, including access entitlements mapping
Dedicated audit support, including attendance at relevant auditor meetings and real-time response to auditor questions
Custom compliance deliverables tailored to your specific framework requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.)
What You Get
Everything included in the AWS Compliance Gap Analysis package, plus implementation evidence and ongoing support documentation.
The complete package includes:
Full compliance control mapping - Detailed alignment to your specific framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, or custom requirements)
Implemented critical remediations - I directly fix high-priority findings in your AWS environment, not just document them
Complete entitlements documentation - Comprehensive "why this access exists" justifications with business purpose alignment and least-privilege validation
Before/after evidence package - Screenshots, configuration exports, and change documentation proving remediation completion
Custom audit deliverables - Additional AWS documentation tailored to your auditor's specific requests (policies, procedures, architecture diagrams)
Dedicated audit support - Attendance at auditor meetings (up to 3 hours), real-time responses to auditor questions, and technical clarifications
Post-audit remediation roadmap - Prioritized plan for non-critical findings with implementation guidance and 21 days of email support
Dedicated Audit Support
Unlike the standard packages, I'm actively involved throughout your audit:
Attend up to 3 hours of auditor meetings to provide technical clarifications
Respond to auditor questions in real-time via email or Slack
Provide additional evidence or documentation as auditor requests arise
21 days of post-audit support for remediation questions
How it works
Secure Kickoff
(Day 0, 1-hour call)
You provide read-only AWS access initially. We discuss your audit timeline, specific compliance requirements, and identify which critical findings will require immediate remediation. I provide the exact IAM policies needed for both read-only analysis and remediation implementation (exact permissions depends on scope).
Implementation and Documentation (Days 4-7)
I implement approved critical remediations in your AWS environment (privilege reductions, MFA enforcement, third-party access cleanup). All changes are documented with before/after evidence for auditors if the audit window has commenced.
Active Audit Support
(During your audit)
I attend auditor meetings (up to 3 hours), respond to technical questions in real-time, and provide additional documentation as needed. You have direct access to me throughout the audit period.
Deep Dive Review and Remediation Planning
(Days 1-3)
I conduct the complete access management analysis across your AWS Organization. Based on findings, we prioritize critical remediations that need immediate implementation. You approve the remediation scope and I receive write access to begin fixes.
Report Delivery and Audit Prep (Day 8, 1-hour call)
Receive your comprehensive audit-ready report including implementation evidence. We review all deliverables, discuss how to present findings to auditors, and prepare for common auditor questions.
Post-Audit Follow-up
(21 days of support)
After your audit, you receive a prioritized remediation roadmap for any non-critical findings. I'm available via email for implementation questions during the 21-day support period.
FAQs
-
The Gap Analysis tells you what's broken. Audit-Ready Plus fixes it for you. You get the full gap analysis report, plus I implement critical remediations in your AWS environment, provide before/after evidence for auditors, and support your team during the actual audit with meeting attendance and real-time responses to auditor questions.
-
Yes. I attend up to 3 hours of auditor meetings to provide technical clarifications, respond to auditor questions in real-time via email or Slack, and provide additional documentation as requests arise. Your team leads the audit, but I'm actively supporting behind the scenes and available for technical deep-dives.
-
Initially, read-only access via SecurityAudit managed policy plus CloudTrail/Config read permissions for the gap analysis phase. Once we agree on remediation scope, you'll grant additional write permissions specific to the changes being implemented (e.g., IAM policy updates, Identity Center configuration, MFA enforcement). I provide exact least-privilege IAM policies for each phase during kickoff.
-
That's often a critical finding for regulated companies. Unlike the standard packages where I just document this gap, with Audit-Ready Plus I can implement the Identity Center migration for you as part of the remediation work. This is typically the highest-value fix for audit readiness.
-
Timeline depends on environment complexity and scope of remediations needed. Simple environments (2-5 accounts, straightforward fixes) typically complete in 7-10 business days. Complex environments (10+ accounts, Identity Center migration, extensive privilege reductions) may take 2-3 weeks. We'll finalize the timeline after the initial gap analysis reveals what needs fixing.
-
We prioritize the highest-impact fixes first so you can show auditors evidence of in-progress remediation. Auditors typically accept documented remediation plans with completion timelines for non-critical findings. I'll help you present the remediation roadmap professionally and answer auditor questions about implementation progress.
-
I can't guarantee audit outcomes (I'm not your auditor), but Audit-Ready Plus dramatically increases your chances by: fixing the critical findings auditors always flag, providing professional documentation and evidence packages, and ensuring technical accuracy when auditors ask detailed AWS questions. Most audit failures come from undocumented access or inability to answer auditor questions - this package addresses both.
-
You receive a prioritized remediation roadmap for any non-critical findings, plus 21 days of email support for implementation questions. If you need ongoing support beyond 21 days, we can discuss a retained arrangement or move remaining items into a new project scope.
-
Possibly, depending on my schedule and your environment complexity. Contact me immediately if your audit is within 3-4 weeks. Even if we can't complete all remediations, the gap analysis alone (which can be expedited) will dramatically improve your audit preparedness by identifying what auditors will ask about.
