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

A growing government contractor needed a secure internal platform to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while preparing for CMMC compliance—without slowing down operations.

Solution

ECIS designed and deployed a zero-trust cloud architecture in AWS GovCloud:

  • Fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Identity-aware access with conditional enforcement
  • Secure containerized workloads on EKS
  • Centralized logging and audit pipelines
  • Policy-driven access boundaries across all services

Impact

  • Achieved compliance readiness in under 90 days
  • Reduced attack surface with strict access segmentation
  • Enabled full audit traceability across all systems
  • Positioned the client for future contract eligibility

Why It Matters

Security and compliance don’t have to slow you down. With ECIS, this client gained both—fast.
