Common questions

Can this follow an AWS Security Review?

Yes. That is the cleanest path: review first, agree priorities, then harden the environment in a fixed-scope sprint.

Can you work in our Terraform repository?

Yes, where access and change control are agreed. The preferred model is pull-request based implementation with review from the client team.

Is this managed support after the sprint?

No. The sprint ends with handover and evidence. Ongoing support can be handled through a fractional platform or cloud security lead retainer.
