AI Executive Summary
Your account scores 58/100 — above the peer average of 54. Root MFA is disabled and there are no audit trails, creating severe compliance and security risk. Reliability and Cost are mid-range but improving. Fixing the 2 critical issues alone would bring your score to ~68. Estimated monthly savings: €1,200–2,400 from right-sizing and orphaned resources.
Top Findings — Risk & Remediation
criticalRoot MFA disabled — root account unprotected
RISKComplete AWS account takeover if root credentials are leaked. No audit trail for root actions. CIS 1.4, PCI DSS 8.3, and SOC 2 non-compliant.
FIXEnable MFA on the root user via IAM dashboard. Use a hardware TOTP device or YubiKey. Restrict root usage to account-level operations only and create IAM admins with MFA for daily work.
criticalNo CloudTrail trails configured
RISKZero audit log of all API calls — every CreateUser, DeleteDBInstance, PutBucketPolicy is invisible. Breaches go undetected for months. Mandatory for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA compliance.
FIXEnable CloudTrail in all regions with log file validation. Store in a dedicated S3 bucket with MFA delete and server-side encryption. Configure CloudWatch metric filters + alarms for unauthorized API activity.
highSecurity group: port 22 open to 0.0.0.0/0
RISKSSH accessible from the entire internet. Instances will be discovered by port scanners within minutes and subjected to credential brute-forcing, crypto mining payload injection, and data exfiltration.
FIXRestrict inbound SSH to your office or VPN CIDR ranges only. Better yet: remove SSH entirely and use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager for no-SSH, IAM-audited instance access.
highRDS prod-db: backup retention 0 days
RISKProduction database has zero automated backups. A single accidental DROP TABLE, ransomware event, or corruption means permanent data loss. RPO is effectively infinite.
FIXSet automated backup retention to 35 days (AWS max). Enable point-in-time recovery. Add cross-region read replica for disaster recovery. Test restore procedure quarterly.
medium12 EC2 instances untagged — no cost allocation
RISK~25% of compute costs cannot be attributed to any team, project, or environment. Budget variance is unexplained. No chargeback possible. Tagging coverage below the 80% industry standard.
FIXAdopt a tagging standard (Environment, Cost-Center, Owner, Terraform). Backfill existing resources via AWS Tag Editor or Config auto-remediation. Set up a monthly tag compliance report in AWS Budgets.
