EC2 compute is 67% of spend — the primary optimization lever (rightsizing, Savings Plans, Graviton/spot). Security tooling (WAF, Security Hub, Config, GuardDuty) adds ~$110/mo.
| Severity | Finding | Evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | Open GuardDuty high/critical findings | sev 8–9 in us-east-1 & us-east-2 |
Active threat signals unremediated; no delegated security owner to triage |
| High | 13 security groups open to the internet | 0.0.0.0/0 ingress, us-east-2 |
Direct attack surface on the workload account — needs port-level review |
| High | Stale admin access keys | admin keys 322 & 319 days; +3 others >90d |
Long-lived static credentials for privileged users — top breach vector |
| Medium | Console users without MFA | 2 of 10 IAM users | Account-takeover risk; fails CIS AWS baseline |
| Medium | Member account unmonitored | Lazka: no GuardDuty / Security Hub | Detection blind spot; org security services not delivered to members |
| Good | Org CloudTrail configured well | multi-region + org trail + log-file validation | Solid audit foundation to build on |
| Good | No public S3 buckets or public RDS | 0 of 9 buckets public; 0 public DBs | Data-exposure basics are in order |
SOC 2 at 81% aligns with their Secureframe program — a focused push closes the gap. PCI is lowest (not in scope unless they process cards).

| Workstream | Driver from discovery | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Landing zone & account separation | Workloads in mgmt acct; flat org; empty Lazka | Move workloads to a dedicated account; OUs + SCP guardrails |
| Delegated security account | No delegated admin; unaddressed GD findings; Lazka dark | Central GuardDuty/Security Hub admin; org-wide monitoring |
| Cost optimization | EC2 = 67% of spend; 4× growth; unattached EBS | Rightsizing + Savings Plans + cleanup → recurring savings |
| Identity hardening | Stale admin keys; 2 users w/o MFA | Rotate/retire keys, enforce MFA, move to short-lived roles/SSO |
| Exposure reduction | 13 internet-open SGs | Least-privilege ingress; WAF already in place to leverage |
