Security
Secure, automated, compliant AWS foundations for ambitious teams, from hardened landing zones through to DevSecOps.
AWS security services at copebit
Cloud security is multi-layered. It is a central pillar of how copebit designs AWS environments, reflected in our membership of the AWS Well-Architected Partner Program. Our work spans governance, network security, identity, data protection, application security, and security operations.
Every service we configure is defined as infrastructure as code and tested before it reaches production.
Secure foundations and VPDC
A security programme starts with a compliant baseline. Our landing zones and the Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) pattern set account isolation, network segmentation, and governance guardrails from day one, built from our OpenTofu module library.
Governance, risk and compliance
AWS Control Tower enforces guardrails and policy baselines across accounts. AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config provide auditability and configuration tracking, which supports evidence gathering for ISO 27001, GDPR and SOC 2 during audits or incidents. We run risk assessments and threat modelling, then hand back prioritised recommendations.
Network security
We design segmented topologies on Amazon VPC using the copebit VPDC reference architecture, so workloads run privately by default and internet-facing endpoints are opened only where needed. Private subnets, network ACLs, security groups and egress controls limit the attack surface, and mTLS protects service-to-service traffic.
Third-party NGFW appliances integrate where deeper inspection is required. Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF add DDoS mitigation and application-layer protection at the edge.
Identity and access management
Access follows the principle of least privilege (POLP), with role-based access control (RBAC) and fine-grained AWS IAM policies. MFA is required for privileged accounts. We federate with your existing identity provider, audit permissions on a regular cycle, and automate remediation of unused or risky entitlements.
Data protection
Encryption is enforced at rest and in transit for Amazon S3, Amazon RDS and Amazon EBS. We use customer managed keys (CMK) in AWS KMS, and can offload key material to AWS CloudHSM.
Secrets and credentials live in AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault, wired into deployment workflows rather than into configuration files.
Application and content security
Secure coding checks and static and dynamic analysis run inside your pipelines, in GitLab or AWS CodePipeline. AWS WAF rulesets are tuned to your threat profile. Container workloads on Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS are hardened and scanned at build time and at runtime.
Security operations and monitoring
Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Config and AWS Security Hub aggregate security events for analysis. We configure alerting, feed findings into your SIEM and SOAR workflows, and write incident response runbooks with defined escalation paths. Threat hunting, vulnerability scanning and incident simulations run on a regular cadence.
Automation and DevSecOps
Policy enforcement, compliance checks and vulnerability management are automated across the estate. Security gates in your delivery pipelines block deployments that fail policy, and GitLab scanning covers secrets, dependencies and code risks. We deploy infrastructure with OpenTofu and reconcile Kubernetes state with Flux.
