Case Study: a start-up EV charging company strengthens AWS security after acquisition with Acora

Start-up EV Charging Company secures merged AWS environments with Acora

Acora was engaged by a start-up EV charging company following its acquisition by a larger business. The customer faced the challenge of merging its AWS environments into the corporate parent's infrastructure while its security status was unknown. There was a significant risk as the newly integrated systems were required to meet stringent corporate security requirements, necessitating a strategic security assessment to identify and prioritize gaps.

Acora's AWS Security Consultants implemented a strategic security assurance process. They began with a discovery phase to understand the environment and then conducted a detailed review against corporate requirements, which included architectural deep dives and threat modeling. This resulted in a prioritized report of security gaps and strategic recommendations. Acora was then engaged a second time to provide assurance on the implementation, successfully ensuring the merged environments met all corporate security standards and reducing risk.
