Step 3: Create a master design that meets internal and external requirements

Create a golden environment

Using baseline requirements to create a gold OS image Configure use of AWS services, for example:

Amazon S3 Amazon EBS Amazon Redshift

Force SSE Turn on logging Specify retention Set Amazon Glacier

archiving Prevent external access Specify overriding

permissions Set event notifications

Define volume type Volume size limits IOPS performance

(input/output) Data location – regions Snapshot (backup) ID Encryption requirements

Cluster type (single or multi) Encryption (KMS or HSM) VPC location External access (yes/no) Security groups applied Create SNS topic Enforce Amazon

CloudWatch alarms

Poll Question

What are your greatest challenges prohibiting the automation of controls throughout your organization?

Step 4: Enforce deployment to that design

Enforce AWS Service Catalog

Allows administrators to create and manage catalogs of approved resources (products) that users can access via a personalized portal.

Control which IT services and versions are availableControl the configuration of the available servicesControl permission access by individual, group, department, or cost center.

Provisioning Team creates and manages Service Catalog

Products built from CloudFormation Templates

An AWS Service Catalog product is a deployable AWS

CloudFormation template.

Step 5: Mechanize a scalable governance and auditing program

Governance & Auditing Program

Best Practices for a Strong Compliance Defense

1. How is the entity using the cloud?

2. Is the entity leveraging credible, third-party assessments?

3. Has the entity benchmarked their use of the cloud against CIS or another independent body?

4. How do they monitor use of the cloud?

5. How has application, logical access, resiliency, governance changed?
