Case Study: a leading educational institute strengthens AWS security and compliance with Beyond Key's infrastructure audit

Leading Educational Institute strengthens AWS security in 4 weeks with Beyond Key

The client, a leading educational institute, manages over 500,000 sensitive student records across a complex AWS infrastructure. They faced critical security vulnerabilities including unencrypted data, publicly accessible resources, and zero visibility into API activity, which posed significant financial and reputational risks. To address these challenges, they engaged Beyond Key for an AWS infrastructure audit.

Beyond Key conducted a comprehensive 4-week audit using tools including Scout Suite and AWS Config. The solution involved implementing encryption, hardening S3 buckets, and establishing granular IAM policies. This significantly improved the institute's security posture and compliance, mitigating the risk of data breaches and associated penalties.
