Executive Engineering Summary & Takeaways
- Automated evidence collection via AWS Security Hub and CloudTrail eliminates manual screenshot audits.
- Mandatory MFA, single sign-on (SSO), and temporary role assumption enforce the Principle of Least Privilege.
- Documented disaster recovery (DR) testing and automated backup verification satisfy Trust Services Criteria.
1. Automated CloudTrail & KMS Key Rotation in Terraform
We embed compliance controls directly into Terraform modules and Git pull request workflows to guarantee audit compliance continuously.
