Practical, evidence-led AWS services.

Every engagement has a defined scope, clear boundaries, and actionable outcomes. We help you understand, secure, optimise, and improve your AWS infrastructure without commercial ambiguity.

AWS Cloud Health Check

A practical review of your AWS environment covering the areas most likely to create risk, unnecessary cost or operational problems.

What You Gain:

What needs immediate attention and what can be safely scheduled for later
The technical and operational rationale behind every identified finding
Which configuration risks could directly impact your business operations

AWS Security and Access Review

A focused review of AWS identity, access and common security exposure, supported by evidence and clear recommendations.

What You Gain:

Where unnecessary privilege or public exposure exists across your accounts
The exact security controls that require strengthening based on AWS best practices
How to isolate sensitive workloads without interrupting daily developer workflows

AWS Cost and Waste Review

An evidence-led review of AWS usage designed to identify avoidable spend and areas where cost controls could be improved.

What You Gain:

Where current AWS spend is being consumed by dormant or unutilised infrastructure
Actionable areas where configuration changes can reduce ongoing operational waste
How your compute sizing compares with actual workload CPU, memory, and I/O demands

Backup and Disaster Recovery Review

Review backup coverage, recovery requirements and restore readiness so that gaps can be identified before they become incidents.

What You Gain:

Whether any critical databases, volumes, or file systems lack automated backup protection
How your realistic recovery timeline compares with your operational expectations
Vulnerabilities in backup storage that could be exposed during account compromise

AWS Migration Assessment

A structured assessment for organisations considering moving workloads to AWS, producing a clearer understanding of dependencies, risks and the proposed target environment.

What You Gain:

The feasibility and technical prerequisites of migrating your workloads to AWS
A clear target architecture suited to your specific reliability and scaling needs
Potential migration bottlenecks, data transfer constraints, and dependency risks

AWS Remediation and Implementation

Controlled implementation of agreed AWS improvements following assessment and approval.

What You Gain:

Exactly what changes were executed, when they were applied, and how they were verified
That all modifications were delivered within pre-agreed scope and change windows
How to maintain the implemented configurations through standard operational procedures

Recommended Service

AWS Cloud Health Check

Tailored AWS consultancy

Why this fits your objective:

The AWS Cloud Health Check is the natural starting point. It provides a multi-pillar baseline across security, spend, resilience, and operational risks so you gain immediate clarity on where to focus.

Key Engagement Focus:

What needs immediate attention and what can be safely scheduled for later
The technical and operational rationale behind every identified finding
Which configuration risks could directly impact your business operations
Tangible Outputs

What you receive from an engagement

Depending on the engagement, Kervora provides concise, actionable documentation structured for both engineering teams and business leadership.

Clear Findings

Understand what was identified without having to interpret raw AWS JSON output or cryptic console logs.

Prioritised Actions

Separate urgent risks from useful operational improvements and longer-term architectural considerations.

Supporting Evidence

Where appropriate, findings reference the specific AWS resource IDs, configuration lines, and metrics observed.

Practical Recommendations

Recommendations clearly explain what could be changed, why it matters, and the operational trade-offs involved.

Defined Next Steps

Use the review as a clear foundation for internal engineering, Kervora implementation, or specialist partner delivery.

Access & Governance Principles

Your AWS environment stays under your control.

Granting third-party access to cloud infrastructure requires absolute confidence in handling, intent, and boundaries. Kervora adheres to strict, transparent operational rules designed to safeguard your environment at all times.

Scope Agreed in Advance

We never perform scans or touch infrastructure outside agreed target accounts and pre-defined architectural boundaries.

Least-Privilege Role Access

Assessments use read-only AWS managed policies (such as SecurityAudit or ViewOnlyAccess) tailored strictly to what is needed.

Temporary, Controlled Access

We recommend cross-account IAM role assumption with external IDs or AWS IAM Identity Center sessions rather than static user accounts.

Zero Root Credential Handling

We will never ask for, accept, or handle root account credentials. Root access is never required for consulting reviews.

No Credential Transmission via Email

We explicitly instruct clients never to send AWS passwords, IAM secret keys, or private SSH keys via email or web forms.

Independent Assessment & Approval

Assessment is strictly separate from implementation. No changes are ever applied to your environment without prior written sign-off.

Validation & Change Evidence

Any approved implementation is validated against recorded test steps and configuration evidence before handover.

Immediate Access Revocation

Once work is delivered, client teams simply revoke or delete the assumed IAM role, leaving zero lingering access.
