Cloud Security

Secure your cloud environment to accelerate growth and drive ROI

The move to the cloud is well underway. Are you on board?

The landscape of cloud security solutions needed to keep organizations safe and secure is rapidly evolving. It’s more important than ever to integrate security practices into cloud solutions before, during, and after migrating to the cloud.

To do this, organizations must identify and manage cloud security risks while strengthening capabilities. At the same time, cloud services providers must expand native and third-party security services to meet the demands of digital transformation and cost optimization.

Why cloud security matters

Now, more than ever, cloud security must be integrated with cloud design and implementation for optimal performance and reliability.

Case Studies

Situation: An insurance industry client needed to secure its cloud environment and required a road map to integrate security into its delivery pipeline in preparation for migration to the cloud.

Value: Protiviti provided a custom foundational cloud security control set, application-security tool recommendations, and industry perspectives aligned with the client’s environment. Cloud engineering and information security teams improved communication, awareness, and collaboration strength.

Situation: A regional health insurer sought a third-party review of the architecture design and project plan for their multiyear cloud migration.

Value: Protiviti provided input into the audit strategy and validated that the design was consistent with HIPAA requirements. Once the project concluded, Protiviti provided a pre-implementation audit report and strategic input into the audit plan to identify high-risk areas for post-implementation audits.

Situation: A large financial and derivative exchange company sought an outside source to review, analyze, and provide recommendations for its cloud adoption strategy, as well as to identify considerations that would emerge as it expanded its AWS footprint and began to process more sensitive data.

Value: Protiviti’s experience with AWS and IT strategy expertise provided the client with recommendations that helped design key assurance controls into the tech road map to innovate and accelerate cloud migration.

Situation: A global high-utility jet leasing firm needed a comprehensive review of its cloud strategy and governance capabilities, along with recommendations to identify current risks and align with industry best practices.

Value: The client received a list of existing cloud enterprise policy gaps, recommendations for improvements to the target cloud policy, and a draft cloud computing policy.
