AWS Security & Compliance Modernization

Odaptos is an AI-driven interview and assessment platform that manages application workloads, APIs, speech-to-text processing pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS. As the platform expanded, Odaptos required stronger security controls, centralized monitoring, and improved compliance posture to align with cloud security best practices and operational governance requirements.

The Challenge

Odaptos AWS production environment required significant security and monitoring improvements to strengthen compliance readiness and reduce operational risks. The environment lacked centralized governance controls, infrastructure monitoring standards, and several AWS security best practices.

Key challenges included:

  • Missing security monitoring and alerting for AWS services
  • Public access risks on S3 buckets
  • Lack of encryption on EBS volumes
  • Missing CloudTrail logging configurations
  • Limited monitoring for ECS, API Gateway, Load Balancers, and SQS
  • Incomplete infrastructure visibility and governance
  • Use of default VPC architecture limiting security scalability
  • Retired Elastic Beanstalk platform usage introducing stability and security concerns

  • API Gateway V2 error monitoring
  • Load Balancer health, latency, and error monitoring
  • SQS visibility and message age monitoring
  • VPC Flow Logs and AWS CloudTrail logging

Storage & Data Protection

  • EBS volume encryption
  • S3 public access blocking
  • S3 bucket versioning
  • S3 access logging

Governance & Identity Security

  • IAM policy governance improvements
  • Infrastructure entity classification
  • Reduced root account usage
  • Improved auditing visibility

Infrastructure & Operational Improvements

  • Elastic Beanstalk deployment stability improvements
  • Load balancer health check optimization
  • Deployment timeout tuning
  • Confluence documentation for infrastructure workflows
  • Jira-based security remediation tracking

Results & Benefits

Achieved 99% Sprinto compliance for the AWS Production Account
Improved AWS security posture across production workloads. Increased operational visibility through centralized monitoring.
Reduced risks related to public access exposure
Improved deployment stability and operational reliability. Enhanced logging, governance, and auditing controls.
Strengthened compliance readiness
Improved infrastructure observability and monitoring. Established a foundation for future governance initiatives including AWS Control Tower and SCP implementation.

Continuous compliance monitoring is essential for production AWS environments. Infrastructure monitoring improves operational reliability. Encryption and centralized logging should be foundational security controls. Least-privilege governance reduces security exposure. AWS-native monitoring and governance tools simplify compliance management. Proper documentation and operational visibility improve long-term maintainability.
