State, local, and educational (SLED) organizations face evolving compliance mandates like StateRAMP and FISMA. AWS offers a suite of security services designed to help these institutions build secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud environments.

Key AWS Solutions for Secure Cloud Environments

  1. Multi-Account Framework With AWS Control Tower
    Launch a secure, scalable landing zone to manage multiple AWS accounts with built-in governance and best practices.
  2. Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA)
    Deploy AWS security best practices by default. Extend AWS Control Tower or use independently for broader regional support.
  3. Service Control Policies (SCPs)
    Enforce strict security boundaries—like region restrictions or internet access limitations—across your AWS organization.
  4. Identity Federation & IAM Access Analyzer
    Replace static IAM users with federated access. Use tools like IAM Identity Center and Access Analyzer to enforce Zero Trust principles.
  5. Sensitive Data Protection with Amazon Macie
    Automatically discover and protect sensitive data like PII using machine learning and pattern matching.
  6. Continuous Compliance Monitoring
    Use tools like AWS Config, Security Hub, and Audit Manager to monitor, audit, and enforce compliance across your cloud infrastructure.
  7. Threat Detection & Alerting
    Leverage Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon Inspector for real-time threat detection and vulnerability management with customizable alerting.
