Audit Your AWS Organization with Ease

Why the AWS Organization Audit Exists

I’ve seen too many AWS Organizations that look fine on the surface but fall apart under real-world stress—whether it's a missed CloudTrail in a secondary region or IAM policies that silently violate best practices. I built this audit to cut through the guesswork and help teams understand exactly where they stand. It started as a checklist I used with clients to prep for security audits and cost reviews. Over time, it evolved into a full-scale guide that surfaces critical blind spots—before they turn into real problems. Whether you're managing 3 accounts or 30, this audit helps you optimize governance, security, and cost control with surgical precision. If you're serious about doing AWS right, this is the tool I wish I had when I started.

Common AWS Problems This Audit Helps Solve

  • Unclear Account Structure - Struggling to understand which accounts are doing what? This audit helps you evaluate your Organizational Units (OUs) and Service Control Policies (SCPs) to bring clarity and control.
  • Missing Logs or Incomplete Auditing - Think CloudTrail is turned on everywhere? Think again. This tool shows you exactly how to validate org-level logging and catch gaps that could tank compliance.
  • Security Tools Not Talking to Each Other - GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config... They’re powerful, but only if wired correctly. The audit helps you stitch these together into a cohesive detection and response layer.
  • IAM Confusion & Access Creep - Still using legacy IAM users and juggling too many policies? The guide walks you through centralizing identity with IAM Identity Center and enforcing least privilege.
  • No Tagging Standards, No Cost Control - Can’t track who’s spending what? You’ll learn how to enforce cost allocation tags, build AWS Budgets, and set anomaly detection alerts before you blow your budget.
  • Audit Panic Mode - When compliance teams ask about region usage or encryption standards, most teams scramble. This tool builds readiness into your system—with region locks, KMS defaults, and playbooks.
  • Too Many Tools, Not Enough Governance - If your AWS setup feels like a patchwork of services with no unified strategy, this audit connects the dots—turning chaos into control.

Core Focus Areas

  • Multi-account setup (OUs, SCPs, org-level billing)
  • Centralized logging and compliance tracking (CloudTrail, AWS Config)
  • IAM Identity Center vs legacy IAM best practices
  • Security services: GuardDuty, Firewall Manager, Security Hub
  • Budgeting, cost tagging, anomaly detection
  • Audit readiness with region locks, AWS Audit Manager, and playbooks
  • Extras: AI opt-out policies, encryption, Well-Architected Reviews

Why This Advice Works

I’ve run security audits and compliance reviews for cloud environments with complex regulatory needs (PCI, SOC 2, NIST). This tool reflects real-world lessons—what actually breaks, what saves time, and where AWS can cost you more than you realize if misconfigured.

The audit isn’t about using every AWS service—it’s about using the right ones, the right way.

How the Free Audit Works

If you book the session:

  1. You’ll send over your current AWS Org structure (nothing sensitive, just layout-level detail).
  2. I’ll review it using the same playbook I use with paying clients.
  3. We’ll meet for a 30-minute call where I walk you through the results, answer questions, and give you a roadmap. No sales pitch. Just value.
