AWS Compliance Gap Analysis
Know Your Risks Before
Auditors Do
The AWS Compliance Gap Analysis is a comprehensive review (5 to 10 business days) of your AWS security posture, specifically designed to catch what SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS auditors will flag.
I've reviewed AWS environments for companies preparing for their first major audit and know exactly what compliance auditors look for across all three frameworks.
This package includes everything in the AWS Access Entitlements Report ($2,500 value), plus a comprehensive security analysis and remediation guidance.
What You Get
Everything included in the AWS Access Entitlements Report ($2,500 value), plus a comprehensive security review written for both technical teams and auditors.

30 minute strategy call - Review findings, discuss remediation priorities, and prepare for your audit

FAQs
-
You get 15+ years of expertise at a fixed price, focused exclusively on passing your access management audit requirements. No complex onboarding, no hourly billing, no scope creep, just the specific things auditors care about.
-
That's often a critical finding. The review will assess whether you should migrate (most regulated companies should) and document your current IAM User/role architecture for auditors.
-
The report is written to answer auditor questions, but I don't typically join audit meetings. Your team presents the findings and remediation evidence. If you need audit support, we can discuss that separately.
-
Read-only access via SecurityAudit AWS managed policy plus CloudTrail read permissions. I'll provide the exact IAM policy during kickoff. For remediation services, additional permissions are required.
-
I can't guarantee audit outcomes (I'm not the auditor), but I can ensure you have professional documentation that answers auditor questions about access management - one of the most commonly scrutinized areas in SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI audits.
-
Contact me immediately. The standard 5-day timeline may still work if we start right away. Even if documentation isn't perfect, having a professional entitlements report is far better than showing up to your audit with nothing.
