Cloud Compliance & Security
We assess, remediate, and continuously monitor your AWS infrastructure for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, GxP, NIST, and SOC2 compliance — with proprietary technology that never stops watching.

The Challenge
Most organizations treat compliance as a periodic audit — a point-in-time snapshot that’s outdated the moment it’s complete. Infrastructure drifts. New resources are provisioned without guardrails. Misconfigurations accumulate silently until the next audit — or worse, until a breach.
Acumen Defensive takes a different approach. We don’t just assess your infrastructure and hand you a report. We deploy autonomous agents that enforce your compliance rules continuously, flag violations in real-time, and remediate automatically where possible. Your compliance posture is measured in seconds, not fiscal quarters.

Services
Platform
Four products that work in concert to provide continuous, automated compliance assurance.
Autonomous Compliance Agents
Software agents deployed in your cloud that continuously validate infrastructure against your compliance rules, 24/7/365. Each agent is managed remotely, with rules added, modified, or removed in real-time without disruption.
Intelligent Event Filtering
Collects and filters cloud events in real-time. Security and compliance-relevant events are forwarded for analysis; everything else goes to long-term storage. Dramatically reduces compliance monitoring costs while maintaining the highest level of diligence.
Holistic Cloud Visibility
A unified application — including native iOS — that replaces and extends the AWS Console. Natively multi-region and multi-account, giving your team a single view of the entire cloud estate plus full visibility into Sentinel and Vortex findings.
Remote Command & Control
The backbone service that enables remote management of deployed Sentinels, collection and analysis of Vortex event streams, aggregation and caching of Summit data, and orchestration of all platform capabilities.
Methodology
Every engagement follows our Rules of Engagement methodology — a structured, battle-tested process that ensures nothing is missed.
Inventory all AWS resources across every account and region. Map the current architecture, identify owners, and document the baseline.
Assess every resource against the applicable compliance framework. Rank findings by severity. Identify quick wins and structural gaps.
Implement fixes using Infrastructure-as-Code. Enable guardrails, enforce encryption, configure logging, apply least-privilege access. Every change documented.
Install Sentinel agents, configure Vortex event filtering, provision Summit access, and connect Overwatch. Your continuous compliance posture begins.
Ongoing autonomous compliance monitoring. Rule updates deployed remotely. Drift detected and flagged in real-time. Quarterly posture reports delivered.
