strengthening-aws-governance-and-security-with-aws-control-tower
To maintain governance and security across multiple AWS accounts can be complex and resource intensive. Cyberintelsys, security solutions-based company partnered with Wiscloud to modernize their AWS cloud foundation using AWS Control Tower. Prior to this initiative, Cyberintelsys faced challenges such as inconsistent account provisioning, fragmented security policies, and manual configuration drift, which slowed down project delivery and increased operational risk. Wiscloud deployed AWS Control Tower to establish a secure, scalable, and governed multi-account environment. This implementation included baseline guardrails using Service Control Policies (SCPs), centralized logging with AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config, and a dedicated audit account to enforce compliance. To extend Control Tower's capabilities and meet the company’s need for custom infrastructure in every account, Wiscloud implemented Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CFCT). This enabled automated deployment of account-level resources through AWS CloudFormation templates. The solution ensures every new account launched through Control Tower adheres to Cyberintelsys architecture, security, and operational standards from day one. This comprehensive approach significantly reduced time-to-provision, eliminated manual errors, and provided centralized visibility and control over the AWS environment. With this setup, Cyberintelsys now benefits from a robust and repeatable landing zone architecture that supports innovation while maintaining governance, giving them a strong foundation for future cloud initiatives.

With a strategic deployment approach, Wiscloud implemented AWS Control Tower in the Ireland region to streamline governance across SBS Group’s multi-account AWS environment. The solution established a secure landing zone with preconfigured guardrails, centralized logging using CloudTrail and AWS Config, and dedicated accounts for auditing and log archiving. To meet custom infrastructure requirements, Wiscloud integrated Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CFCT), enabling automated deployment of VPCs, IAM roles, security baselines through pre-approved CloudFormation templates. Additional security and compliance were enforced via SCPs, and resource-level access controls. The team encountered challenges such as SCP conflicts, dependency management during CFCT deployments, which were resolved through policy tuning, automated remediation, and pipeline optimization. Wiscloud’s delivery of this scalable, compliant, and automated Control Tower setup demonstrates its ability to simplify cloud governance while enabling enterprise agility and operational excellence..
Benefits Delivered to Customer
The deployment of AWS Control Tower, integrated with native AWS services such as AWS Organizations, CloudTrail, AWS Config, Service Control Policies (SCPs), IAM, and Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CfCT), delivered significant value to our customer. Our solution standardized account provisioning enforced security and compliance at scale, and centralized logging and monitoring across the organization. By automating the deployment of essential infrastructure using CloudFormation through CfCT, we reduced manual overhead, minimized configuration drift, and ensured consistent guardrail enforcement. The customer now benefits from improved operational efficiency, enhanced security posture, faster account onboarding, and a scalable cloud governance model that aligns with enterprise standards and future growth.
