Security Assessment
Performing security infrastructure audits, firewall configuration scans, and IAM profile checks for scaling social startups.
RefactorQ - We don't just write code, we craft the solution.
The Challenge
The customer is a mid-scale startup building a social media platform.
The customer wanted to verify their AWS cloud infrastructure security boundaries, identity privileges, and mitigate deployment risks.
Our Approach
RefactorQ executed a thorough cloud security assessment and hardened the target estate:
Conducted a detailed analysis of the customer's cloud infrastructure against security compliance pillars
Identified credential exposures and structural loopholes, and delivered clear remediation options
Implemented end-to-end encryption standards for AWS infrastructure, databases, and storage assets
Configured identity and firewall settings to enforce environment access policies and best practices
Automated previously manual infrastructure creation steps through Terraform code sheets
Architecture & Workflow
System Flow
Security Audit
Encryption Rollout
Terraform Hardening
Detailed assessment loops identifying security flaws and generating automated Terraform patches.
Impact
Security Flaws Fixed
Isolated and patched old open access ports and permissive policies.
Data Encrypted
Forced full data-at-rest encryption across all S3 and EBS stores.
IaC Standardized
Converted manual servers into automated, auditable infrastructure scripts.
Cloud Security Engineering
Audit cloud attack surfaces, enforce least-privilege IAM controls, and establish automated security posture management.
