This project achieved compliance readiness in under 90 days—without slowing development.

Challenge

The client faced strict compliance requirements, limited visibility, and a high risk of lateral movement.

Solution

ECIS implemented a zero-trust architecture in AWS GovCloud with identity-aware access and centralized logging.

Overview

Researchers required access to sensitive data in a controlled environment without exposing it to risk.

Solution

ECIS implemented secure research environments:

  • Deployed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments
  • Enforced strict identity and access controls
  • Isolated workloads and restricted data movement
  • Integrated monitoring and audit capabilities

Impact

  • Protected sensitive research data
  • Enabled secure collaboration
  • Met compliance requirements for controlled environments

Why It Matters

Sensitive data requires controlled environments—not just secure systems.
