Security, Privacy & Compliance for the Enterprise Cloud

We recommend that AWS SRA be used as a resource to help design, implement, and manage AWS security services so that they align with AWS recommended practices.

AWS Multi-Account Strategy
An important foundational aspect of organizing an AWS environment is following a multi-account strategy. One account isn’t enough to set up a well-architected environment. Using multiple accounts, you can best support your security goals and business processes. Separating workloads into their own accounts enables you to better control access and authorization, apply categorical security and compliance safeguards, and allocate costs on a per workload basis to enable chargebacks and showbacks.
