FinStream, a rapidly growing payment processing platform, reached a bottleneck: they were losing enterprise contracts because they lacked SOC2 Type II compliance. Their AWS environment was managed by developers with a “function-first” mindset, leaving significant security gaps, including unencrypted S3 buckets and overly permissive IAM roles. Cywall was brought in to overhaul their cloud architecture and lead them through a successful audit.
The client's infrastructure was a "black box" with no centralized logging or identity management.
Cywall implemented a Security-as-Code (SaC) framework to automate guardrails:
Actually, it sped them up. By using "Golden Images" and automated security templates, developers no longer had to manually configure security settings for every new deployment.
With Cywall’s pre-audit preparation, FinStream passed their SOC2 Type II audit with zero "exceptions" (findings) within 90 days of project commencement.
While this project used AWS-native tools, Cywall’s Cloud SecOps framework is cloud-agnostic and can be deployed on Azure or Google Cloud Platform.
One stop solution for your security needs, designed to protect businesses from evolving digital threats.
