Managed Amazon Web Services (AWS), architected for security.
Uzado designs, migrates, and runs Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments end to end. Well-architected from day one, cost-optimised, and hardened to the same security baseline as the rest of your estate.
AWS, run by one accountable team
Amazon Web Services gives you scale on demand, but the default account is neither secure nor cost-aware out of the box. Managing it well means owning the account structure, the identity layer, and the security posture as one estate.
The default AWS account is open by convenience: broad IAM permissions, long-lived access keys, public defaults, and no spend guardrails. That default is the source of most of the security and cost problems Uzado sees on inherited accounts.
Managed AWS from Uzado replaces it with a controlled foundation: a multi-account landing zone, least-privilege identity, network segmentation, and a monitored security baseline, with an audit trail behind every change. From a single workload to a multi-account estate, one accountable team owns the architecture, the migration, and the day-to-day operations.
A complete managed AWS estate
Multi-account structure on AWS Organizations with service control policies, centralized logging, and a clean account hierarchy instead of one sprawling root account.
Least-privilege IAM, roles instead of long-lived keys, single sign-on through IAM Identity Center, and MFA enforced on every human principal.
VPC design, private subnets, security groups, and controlled ingress and egress. Public exposure only where it is justified and documented.
GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail, and AWS Config enabled and monitored, feeding the same Uzado SOC as your endpoints.
Rightsizing, savings plans and reserved capacity where they fit, and budget alerts. Continuous review so spend tracks usage, not surprises.
Automated, policy-driven backups, region-aware recovery, and restore testing aligned to a documented RPO and RTO.
The DIY account drifts and overspends
Accounts drift. Permissions get broadened during a project and never tightened. Resources spin up for a test and run for a year. Logging is partial, so an incident is hard to reconstruct. By the time anyone reviews it, the account looks nothing like a well-architected design.
Managed AWS puts a named owner on the estate. Identity stays least-privilege, guardrails stay in place, spend gets reviewed on a cadence, and the audit evidence for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 stops being a fire drill, because the controls run every day.
A five-step engagement model
Review the existing AWS estate against the AWS Well-Architected Framework and Uzado's security baseline. Surface risk, configuration drift, and cost waste.
Establish account structure, service control policies, centralized logging, and identity. A controlled foundation before workloads scale.
Migrate existing workloads or build new ones, well-architected from day one, with security and cost controls in place before go-live.
Patching, monitoring, incident response, backup verification, and change control with an audit trail. Named engineers, not a queue.
Quarterly Well-Architected and cost reviews, plus tuning informed by GuardDuty and Security Hub findings.

Common AWS questions
Do you handle AWS migrations?+
Yes. Uzado migrates workloads from on-premise, another cloud, or an unmanaged AWS account, with a documented runbook, cutover plan, and rollback path. Lift-and-shift or re-platform, scoped to your timeline.
Can you co-manage AWS with our internal team?+
Yes. Co-managed and fully managed models are both supported. In a co-managed model your developers keep their workflow while Uzado owns the landing zone, the security baseline, and change control. The boundaries are documented in a runbook.
How do you keep AWS costs under control?+
Rightsizing, savings plans and reserved capacity where they fit, budget alerts, and a quarterly cost review. Most inherited accounts carry idle resources and oversized instances, and that is the first pass.
How does AWS security feed into compliance?+
CloudTrail, AWS Config, GuardDuty, and Security Hub produce the evidence auditors ask for. Paired with Uzado's Managed GRC, that evidence flows into Vanta and maps to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS controls.
Can you manage a multi-cloud estate?+
Yes. Uzado runs AWS alongside Microsoft 365, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform under one Cloud Management practice, so a mixed estate has a single accountable owner.
