Challenge	The client, a charity assessment organization based in the UK, was faced with several challenges. Firstly, they had to comply with the stringent security standards and controls set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Secondly, they aimed to develop a robust web and mobile application to expand their global reach and response. Additionally, they required a document management system with task workflow and task management capabilities for digital data recording. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization faced connectivity issues as their business users struggled to access internal applications from home. Their existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) setup lacked a secure method for remote connection. Read More
About Customer	The client is a UK-based non-profit organization that evaluates charitable organizations in the United States. They operate as a free 501 organization, accepting no advertising or donations from the organizations they assess. The client is committed to maintaining high security standards in compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). They also aim to enhance their global reach and response through the development of a robust web and mobile application. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they faced challenges in maintaining secure remote access to their internal applications. Read More
Solution	To overcome these challenges, the client collaborated with Datamatics and adopted the AWS cloud. Datamatics proposed a comprehensive approach to help the client achieve their goals. They assisted in defining the right architecture with Multi-AZ and a devops pipeline to support the client's release management for both development and production AWS accounts. AWS environment hardening was carried out using CIS scripts to ensure best security practices during the cloud environment setup. A multi-account strategy was implemented to separate production and non-production environments by migrating servers across accounts. Furthermore, AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch were enabled to provide almost real-time updates on security and operational events generated by the AWS environment and instances.

Challenge

The client, a charity assessment organization based in the UK, was faced with several challenges. Firstly, they had to comply with the stringent security standards and controls set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Secondly, they aimed to develop a robust web and mobile application to expand their global reach and response. Additionally, they required a document management system with task workflow and task management capabilities for digital data recording. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization faced connectivity issues as their business users struggled to access internal applications from home. Their existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) setup lacked a secure method for remote connection.

About Customer

The client is a UK-based non-profit organization that evaluates charitable organizations in the United States.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, the client collaborated with Datamatics and adopted the AWS cloud. Datamatics proposed a comprehensive approach to help the client achieve their goals. They assisted in defining the right architecture with Multi-AZ and a devops pipeline to support the client's release management for both development and production AWS accounts. AWS environment hardening was carried out using CIS scripts to ensure best security practices during the cloud environment setup. A multi-account strategy was implemented to separate production and non-production environments by migrating servers across accounts. Furthermore, AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch were enabled to provide almost real-time updates on security and operational events generated by the AWS environment and instances.

Impact #1	The move to AWS cloud resulted in an optimized cloud environment for the client. They were able to identify a scalable infrastructure with a faster release process. The client also managed to stay ahead of the technology curve by building secure frameworks for cloud deployments. They were able to leverage advanced security features, thereby enhancing their overall security posture. The implementation of AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch provided them with almost real-time updates on security and operational events, further strengthening their security management.
