Reducing cloud environment provisioning from 6 months to minutes with automated AWS security
A FinTech company's AWS environment carried known security gaps and a provisioning cycle exceeding six months per environment, both limiting growth and regulatory compliance. CG Infinity built an automated security foundation using CloudFormation, IAM, and Lambda, with compliance controls baked into the infrastructure from day one. Existing monitoring tools were integrated with native AWS logging, and provisioning time dropped from six months to minutes.
AT A GLANCE

The Challenge
Security gaps and six-month provisioning cycles constraining growth
The client faced known security gaps in its AWS environment alongside provisioning timelines exceeding six months per environment, both of which posed risk to regulatory compliance and business growth. The internal team lacked the expertise to address security posture and operational efficiency in a cost-effective way, and the pace of provisioning was meaningfully constraining the pace of product development.
THE SOLUTION
Automated AWS security foundation baked into infrastructure from day one
CG Infinity built an AWS foundation with VPCs and IAM structures defined and baked directly into CloudFormation templates, eliminating manual configuration from provisioning. Security controls including config rules and Lambda functions were automated to regulatory and operational requirements. The client's existing monitoring tools, Splunk, New Relic, and LogicMonitor, were integrated with native AWS logging services, and monitoring was established across all identified workloads.
THE RESULTS
Provisioning time cut from six months to minutes
Cloud environment provisioning dropped from more than six months to minutes. The infrastructure achieved full regulatory compliance across all identified workloads with automated security controls and continuous monitoring in place from day one.
