AWS Security in Swansea
Securing AWS estates for Swansea organisations, where almost everything traces back to a credential or a role that grants too much. Sophisticated attacks against the platform itself are rare; long-lived access keys, over-broad permissions and something left publicly reachable account for the overwhelming majority of incidents.
Why this comes up
The problem
Several access keys are years old, and a role granting full administrative access is attached to an application.
What you get
What we deliver
- Long-lived access keys eliminated in favour of roles and short-lived credentials
- Permissions narrowed to what each workload actually uses, evidenced by access data
- Public exposure audited across storage, databases and security groups
- Root account secured, with hardware multi-factor and no routine use
- Logging enabled and delivered somewhere the account itself cannot delete
- Detection configured, since an unnoticed compromise is the expensive kind

AWS Security in Swansea — common questions
- Why are access keys the main risk?
- Because they leak and they last. A key committed to a repository, embedded in a script or left on a laptop remains valid indefinitely unless someone rotates it, whereas a role issuing short-lived credentials removes the thing there is to steal.
- How narrow should permissions be?
- As narrow as the evidence supports. Access analysis shows what a role has actually used over time, which turns permission reduction from a guessing exercise into a factual one — and administrative access attached to an application is almost never justified.
- Where should logs go?
- Somewhere the compromised account cannot reach. Audit logs stored in the same account they describe can be deleted by whoever gains control of it, so delivering them to a separate account is what preserves the ability to investigate.
- Is detection worth the effort?
- It is the difference between hours and months. Compromised credentials are typically used quietly — mining, data access, lateral movement — and estates without detection find out from a bill or from somebody else, by which point the exposure is considerable.
- Do you work with businesses across Swansea?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Swansea and the surrounding Swansea area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Swansea businesses do you usually work with?
- Bilingual public-facing systems for institutional clients, and seasonal booking for the Gower tourism trade. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Tourism and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Swansea?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Newport. Swansea is an urban area of roughly 240,000+, and we take on work across the wider Swansea region rather than the city boundary alone.
