AWS Cloud Assessment

An AWS Cloud Assessment provides a full analysis of your AWS environment, including cloud costs, security status, architecture quality, performance, account structure, and compliance readiness.
We review your compute, storage, networking, IAM permissions, monitoring setup, backups, and overall cloud governance.
The goal is to help you understand risks, unnecessary costs, misconfigurations, and modernization opportunities.
You receive a clear, prioritized report with improvements aligned to AWS best practices.

Most companies request an assessment when they notice rising AWS costs, performance issues, security warnings, failed compliance checks, or simply uncertainty about how well their environment is configured.
An AWS Cloud Assessment helps identify overspending, outdated setups, security vulnerabilities, and gaps in scalability.
It's especially valuable during rapid growth, before SOC 2 audits, or when preparing for modernization or migration. See how the AWS Well-Architected Review maps to this process.

An AWS assessment uncovers where your money is going and shows exactly which resources are overprovisioned, unused, or inefficient. We identify cost-saving opportunities such as rightsizing instances, optimizing storage, cleaning up unused services, improving autoscaling, and using AWS discount programs correctly. We also help clients save 5% on AWS infrastructure through our authorized reseller partnership with TD SYNNEX. Many clients save 20–40% by implementing straightforward recommendations.

We check IAM permissions, unused access keys, public S3 buckets, open ports, encryption settings, VPC configuration, and general exposure risks.
This helps uncover security gaps that could lead to breaches or failed audits.
You receive actionable steps to harden your environment and align it with AWS security best practices.

Yes. Our assessment aligns with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, covering reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, security, operational excellence, and sustainability.
We highlight critical issues and give you a roadmap for improving your workloads based on these pillars.

Absolutely. Compliance readiness is part of the AWS Cloud Assessment.
We evaluate logging, monitoring, backups, access controls, data protection, and documentation gaps that impact SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR requirements.
You receive a practical checklist to get your AWS environment audit-ready.

Yes. Our team can help implement improvements such as cost optimization, security fixes, architecture adjustments, automation, and ongoing cloud governance. Many clients continue with us for remediation through our AWS Consulting & Development services or long-term support through AWS Managed Services.

For most startups and SMBs, the assessment takes 3–7 days, depending on environment size and complexity.
Larger or multi-account environments may take longer, but we always give you an upfront timeline.

We use read-only, least-privilege access approved by your team.
You maintain complete control, and we never make changes without your permission.
This access allows us to safely review your settings, cost data, and configuration.

Yes. Credits help with short-term savings, but they don't address underlying issues like overprovisioning, performance bottlenecks, or security vulnerabilities.
An assessment ensures your AWS environment is cost-efficient and secure even after credits run out.

Most teams benefit from one assessment every 6–12 months, or after major changes such as migrations, new features, compliance audits, or rapid user growth.

Startups, SaaS companies, healthcare platforms, fintech teams, and any business growing quickly in the cloud.
Organizations preparing for SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO audits also benefit greatly.

Yes. After completing the AWS Cloud Assessment, many clients choose CloudCare, our AWS Managed Services offering. CloudCare helps keep your environment in great shape through continuous monitoring, cost control, security improvements, backup checks, and regular reviews. Instead of handling everything on your own, you get a dedicated team that ensures your AWS setup remains secure, efficient, and ready to scale as your business grows.
