Enterprise Security Compliance & Infrastructure Optimization

At a Glance

SOC2 Type 1 & ISO 27001 certified | $50,000 annual savings | Zero downtime | Enterprise-ready security

A leading CNAPP provider transformed thousands of unresolved AWS Security Hub alerts into enterprise-grade infrastructure, achieving SOC2 Type 1 and ISO 27001 certification while saving $50,000 annually.

The Challenge

A cloud-native application protection platform faced a critical compliance barrier. Their AWS infrastructure accumulated thousands of Security Hub alerts - from IAM misconfigurations to unencrypted data stores and exposed network resources. Without SOC2 Type 1 and ISO 27001 certifications, they couldn't close deals with enterprise customers in healthcare, finance, and government sectors.

Each finding required analysis, remediation, validation, and documentation. Enterprise customers require these certifications - without them, sales cycles stalled and revenue growth was blocked.

The platform runs a complex multi-tenant Kubernetes infrastructure serving thousands of customers. Infrastructure changes required careful planning to avoid disruption. Compliance audits require comprehensive documentation - this didn't exist in audit-ready format, creating a bottleneck.

The engineering team focused on product development, not infrastructure compliance. They needed specialists who could systematically remediate security findings and compile audit-ready documentation while maintaining zero downtime.

The Solution: Systematic Compliance Transformation

DevKraft deployed a phased approach combining security remediation, infrastructure optimization, and audit preparation.

The 3-phase implementation ran continuously from 2022-2024.

Phase 1: Security remediation - Security Hub audits, systematic mitigation, IAM hardening, encryption at rest and in transit, network security, logging and monitoring, and documentation.

Phase 2: Kubernetes optimization - EKS node group tuning, Helm chart management, resource cleanup, Docker registry optimization, cost optimization, and performance tuning.

Phase 3: Continuous improvement - cost monitoring, security posture reviews, compliance maintenance, automated remediation, and ongoing optimization.

Key technologies included AWS Security Hub, Config, IAM, and KMS for centralized security findings management with automated compliance checks. Amazon EKS, Helm Charts, and Docker powered multi-tenant Kubernetes optimization. Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and CloudFormation enabled version-controlled changes with audit trails.

Architecture Transformation

Infrastructure evolved from thousands of security findings to hardened cloud featuring multi-tenant architecture with single-tenant cluster setup per customer ensuring complete data isolation. Comprehensive encryption with AES at rest, TLS in transit, and AWS KMS for key management.

IAM security implemented least-privilege policies, Multi-Factor Authentication, and role-based access control. Network isolation with separate VPCs, security groups with minimal access. Logging through CloudTrail, CloudWatch metrics, VPC Flow Logs, and centralized aggregation.

Kubernetes security with EKS hardening, encrypted secrets, and container vulnerability scanning. Automated compliance via Security Hub continuous monitoring, AWS Config rules, and automated remediation workflows.

Transformative Business Impact

SOC2 Type 1 certification achieved November 15, 2023, meeting Trust Service Criteria for Security, Confidentiality, and Availability. ISO 27001 certification for Information Security Management System compliance achieved. Thousands of AWS Security Hub alerts systematically mitigated.

$50,000 annual cloud infrastructure cost savings (2022-2024) through optimized EKS node groups, eliminated unused resources, and improved utilization. Enterprise-ready security posture unlocked regulated industry customers. Zero production downtime during remediation - maintained 99.9%+ uptime throughout changes.

Strategic benefits delivered enterprise market access through certifications unlocking sales to regulated industries. Improved security posture reduced attack surface and risk. Operational efficiency via Infrastructure as Code enabled faster, safer deployments. Audit readiness with comprehensive documentation streamlines future audits. Competitive advantage through certifications differentiating from competitors.

Key Innovation: Compliance-Driven Optimization

Success came from systematic remediation over quick fixes - addressing security findings methodically by category, ensuring no compliance gaps while creating sustainable security processes.

Infrastructure as Code for audit trails implemented all changes through Terraform and CloudFormation, creating version-controlled audit trails that auditors require while enabling repeatable deployments.

Zero-downtime remediation strategy planned changes with blue-green deployments, canary releases, and comprehensive rollback procedures, allowing aggressive security hardening without service disruption.
