Is Your AWS Environment Secure? Most Companies Miss These 7 Critical Gaps

Many businesses move to AWS for scalability and performance…

But security is often configured only at a basic level.

Here are 7 common AWS security gaps we see during audits:

1️⃣ No proper IAM role separation

2️⃣ Over-permissive admin access

3️⃣ Publicly exposed S3 buckets

4️⃣ No MFA for privileged users

5️⃣ Security Groups open to 0.0.0.0/0

6️⃣ No centralized logging (CloudTrail / CloudWatch)

7️⃣ No automated backup validation

These gaps can lead to:

❌ Data leaks

❌ Compliance violations

❌ Ransomware risks

❌ Unexpected business downtime

✅ What We Recommend

✔ IAM least-privilege model

✔ MFA enforcement

✔ VPC segmentation

✔ Centralized logging & monitoring

✔ Automated security scanning

✔ Backup & disaster recovery testing

At IHA Cloud, we perform structured AWS Security Assessments that help businesses identify hidden risks before they become incidents.
