Amazon Web Services: Cost & Security Management

Nobody decides to overspend on AWS or leave a door open. It happens slowly, when no one is assigned to watch.

Keeping AWS Under Control

Your AWS bill keeps growing and no one can fully explain it. Security alerts pile up with the same lack of attention. Without ongoing governance, AWS gets expensive and insecure quickly.

We run cost and security management as regular, ongoing work. That means right-sizing resources, clearing out waste, and routing alerts to someone who will act on them, so we catch problems early.

Cutting Cost and Risk

1

Find Waste

We use Cost Explorer to find oversized resources and spending that can be cleaned up.

2

Commit Wisely

Reservations and Savings Plans get mixed to suit how predictable your usage is.

3

Watch Threats

GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config and CloudTrail feed alerts into a real response process.

4

Support Audits

Compliance baselines match your requirements, and we support you when an audit comes around.

Why Choose System Strats

We run real AWS production workloads across compute, data and serverless, and we know where the platform’s traps live. Keeping AWS affordable and secure takes ongoing governance and discipline, and that’s where we focus.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your setup, but most have real savings to find through right-sizing, reservations and cleanup. Larger environments with no prior optimization often have more.

Reservations are more specific, tied to an instance type and region. Savings Plans are more flexible, based on a compute spend commitment. The best mix depends on how predictable your workload is.

Yes. AWS supports HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, FedRAMP and many other compliance frameworks. We configure your environment to match your specific requirements.

We use GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config and CloudTrail, with alerts routed to an actual response process. Without a response plan, monitoring only gives you dashboards nobody looks at.
