Migrating your organisation’s operations and business data to the cloud has many security and regulatory benefits, especially with a trusted provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS).
AWS hardware and infrastructure fully comply with ISO 27001, providing your data a layer of security against tampering, unauthorised access, and unexpected loss. It also helps maintain compliance with Australia’s main data privacy and protection laws, such as the Privacy Act 1988.
Partner with the AWS experts at WOLK and learn strategies for keeping your organisation’s data safe and compliant with all relevant industry regulations.
Risk Assessment and Security Audits
Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, both AWS and your organisation are responsible for keeping data hosted on the cloud safe and compliant with regulatory needs. AWS’s share of the responsibility extends to its hardware, infrastructure, and core software. Your business must implement all necessary security measures and controls within that environment.
WOLK can conduct a risk assessment and perform audits to ensure all of the following meet your data security needs:
- Identifying security threats. We will use all available tools, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Security Hub, and AWS Config, to monitor your cloud environment’s security. We can identify security gaps, potential threats to cloud-stored data, and compliance issues.
- Usage of data encryption. Our team can check whether your cloud environment efficiently uses tools like AWS Key Management Service (KMS). Data at rest and in transit should be encrypted with secure and ISO 27001-compliant protocols like AES-256.
If configuration discrepancies or gaps are identified, our team can help you make all necessary changes to strengthen security and protect your sensitive business data.
