StratusGrid Services

StratusGrid engineers can build and deploy solutions that help reduce business risk resulting from resource sprawl. We use an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach to define AWS configurations that put guardrails in place.

Our Approach to Governance

StratusGrid builds and deploys policies and configuration compliance rules in your Amazon Web Service (AWS) environment. These policies and rules provide a safety net for your cloud environment, protecting you from out of control costs and limiting attack surface for security events.

Planning

We start by partnering with your AWS cloud engineering teams to identify which policies and compliance rules make sense to implement.

Deployment

We progressively roll out policies and compliance rules, using automated CI/CD pipelines, to your entire AWS cloud environment, ensuring consistency across accounts.

Iteration

Once the initial set of policies and rules have been deployed, we can assist with identifying additional compliance rules that should be developed in line with changes to organizational policies.

Why Leverage AWS Governance Capabilities?

Security

Security

The fewer guardrails there are in place, the more opportunity there is for data leakage through various cloud services. Preventing access to services and regions that are not strategically in use can mitigate security breaches.

Cost

Cost

Without guardrails in place, anyone with access to your AWS environment can spin up expensive cloud resources. Implementing compliance rules and remediations can mitigate “bill shock.”

Safety

Safety

Putting guardrails in place provides the peace of mind that your cloud environment is well-managed, so you can sleep well at night.
