Keep Your Cloud Secure and On Budget With AWS Managed Services

Yes, and it's one of the most common ways we start. Many AWS accounts were set up by a developer, a software vendor or a former employee and haven't been reviewed since. BCA starts by checking who has access, what's running, what's exposed to the internet, what's backed up and what it costs. Urgent issues are fixed first, the rest is cleaned up in stages and the setup is documented so it's no longer in one person's head.

Both run business workloads well. Azure is often the natural fit for businesses already on Microsoft 365 and Windows Server. AWS is often chosen when a software vendor or development team has built on it, or for specific services it does well. BCA supports both and recommends based on your applications, your team and the running cost.

By watching it. BCA sets budgets and alerts, so unexpected spending is flagged early instead of found on the invoice. We review usage regularly to find servers that are oversized or no longer needed, storage nobody uses and resources left running after a project ended. For steady workloads, AWS's longer-term pricing options can cut costs further, and we'll tell you when they make sense.

Every person gets their own sign-in with multi-factor authentication, and access is granted by role, so someone who only needs to see billing can't change servers. The main account that owns everything is locked away and used only for the few tasks that require it. Applications get their own limited permissions instead of shared keys, and BCA reviews access regularly and removes what's no longer needed.

In the AWS region you choose. Each region is a group of Amazon data centers in one part of the world, and your data stays there unless you move it. BCA sets up your workloads in a U.S. region unless you need another for a specific reason.

Yes, at the infrastructure level. BCA manages the servers, databases, networks, access, backups and monitoring your application runs on, and works with your developers or software vendor on changes to the application itself. Responsibilities are agreed up front, so nobody assumes someone else is handling backups or updates.
