Selection and Implementation of Core AWS Services

From choosing the right operating system to identifying the best database, or even learning how to implement Amazon’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) tool – and more – turn to Centris for all your AWS needs. A large part of successful cloud deployment and implementation within the AWS architecture begins by understanding the depth and breadth of services offered, how they function, their technical requirements, and more. Centris can help.

AWS Cloud Policies, Procedures, Plans, and Programs

Documentation in the form of policies, procedures, plans and programs is an important element of today’s cloud computing environments. From regulatory compliance demands to security best practices, your organization needs to have well-written, comprehensive information security, cybersecurity, and data privacy documentation in place. With Centris, we offer documentation writing services that deliver highly customized - AWS specific - policies, procedures, programs, and plans.

With our extensive knowledge of the AWS cloud platform, we can develop a wide-range of documentation specific to your organization’s operations. From access rights policies to incident response programs, data privacy programs, contingency planning/business continuity plans - and so much more - turn to Centris for all your documentation needs for AWS.

With Centris, we offer proven measures relating to AWS cloud cyber strategy, along with customized programs, cyber maturity assessments, cyber threat modeling, along with NIST, DoD, ISO, and other cybersecurity initiatives.

We also have years of expertise working with cyber related compliance programs that rely on AWS cloud services, such as NIST RMF, FISMA, FBI CJIS, FedRAMP, eMASS/NISP, NIST 800-171, and CMMC. 

We’ve helped hundreds of organizations throughout North America in drafting high-quality, AWS specific documentation for the following:

• NIST SP 800 Security Documentation: From FISMA to FedRAMP, and more, our documentation writing experts can deliver security and privacy policies, procedures, programs, and plans that map directly to the NIST SP 800-53 controls for your AWS environment. And because many of today’s compliance mandates (at least in the federal space) require adherence to the NIST SP 800 series of documents, finding a firm that has both federal policy writing expertise - and strong AWS technical skills - is now critically important.
• Cybersecurity Documentation: Every organization operating the AWS cloud needs a cybersecurity program in place, no question about it. We offer program documentation writing services for helping our AWS clients draft high-quality, customized NIST cybersecurity programs.
• DoD Security Documentation: From CMMC to eMASS, FedRAMP, and DFARS NIST 800-171, defense contractors using AWS (i.e., AWS GovCloud) must have comprehensive policy documentation in place for helping with such compliance measures. Whatever documents you need - from InfoSec to Cybersecurity, data privacy, and more - Centris can develop them for you.
• ISO 27001/27002 Security Documentation: The ISO 27000 series of security documents are still a major place in the world of information security - especially in the EU. If you’re utilizing AWS services and require ISO 27K specific policies, procedures, programs, and plans, Centris can assist. We’ve successfully worked with hundreds of EU entities - and North American businesses - in helping draft highly customized ISO specific documents.
• PCI DSS: Merchants and service providers using AWS will greatly benefit from Centris’ policy writing services for PCI DSS compliance. From SAQ documents to Level 1 assessments, we helped organizations all throughout North America in drafting comprehensive PCI security documentation.
• HIPAA, HITECH, Healthcare: Security sensitive healthcare is critically important, and it starts with having well-written healthcare specific security and privacy policies and procedures. From HIPAA to HITECH and every other possible healthcare related law and compliance regulation, we’ve helped hundreds of healthcare companies from coast to coast in authoring high-quality documentation.
• Financial Services Documentation: The financial services sector is moving heavily towards cloud adoption, which also means that AWS specific security and privacy policies and procedures need to be written to reflect the use of the cloud. We can tackle the most complex and demanding documentation requests for ensuring you have full coverage of all required policies, procedures, programs, and plans.
• SOC 1/SOC 2 Security Documentation: The juggernaut of regulatory compliance in North America are SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, each of which require a heavy dose of policies and procedures to be in place. We have years of experience authoring AWS specific documentation for both SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits.
• Data Privacy Documentation: Need data privacy documents for your AWS environment? Talk to Centris as our data privacy program documentation is well-known throughout North America.

Regulatory Compliance Assistance

• Gap Assessments: Organizations utilizing AWS often have a long list of compliance assessments to comply with on an annual basis. From SOC audits to PCI compliance, and so much more, the regulatory compliance drumbeat is alive and well. Centris has extensive experience in performing gap assessments for any number of compliance frameworks, ultimately helping identify control gaps and next steps for rapid remediation.
• Remediation: From drafting security policies and procedures to helping implement security tools and solutions, we help organizations in correcting control gaps with today’s growing compliance mandates. And whatever the compliance requirement is - SOC 1/SOC 2, PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP - we have the manpower and expertise for performing all necessary remediation activities.
• RFP Services for Auditors: Need assistance in finding the right auditors, at the right price, and a firm that meets your expectations? Centris’ RFP services helps organizations in streamlining the entire process of finding that very firm for all of your compliance needs. We’ve worked with dozens of well-respected audit firms, which means we’ll bring you a healthy list of qualified firms to work with.
• A to Z Project Management of Audits: In need of project management for your annual compliance audits? Centris can be that critical point-person to handle the entire engagement from beginning to end. Specifically, we can gather audit evidence, set up calls and interviews as needed with auditors, review draft and final reports, provide comments and suggestions on remediation items, and so much more. We have years of experience working with all of today’s compliance assessments (i.e., SOC 1/SOC 2, PCI, FISMA, HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP, etc.), allowing us to offer comprehensive, yet efficient project management solutions.
• Continuous Monitoring: Your controls are only as good as the ongoing monitoring that’s assigned to them, all the more reason for developing a structured and well-regimented continuous monitoring program. Whatever the compliance need is, we can develop a continuous monitoring program that’s efficient, yet provides full-coverage for thoroughly reviewing all controls on a regular basis.
