C2C subcontractor engagement
Policy as code · Cloud security engineering
FDIC’s customized cloud-security benchmark had to be evaluated consistently across more than 60 Azure subscriptions. We converted a slow, analyst-driven review into a repeatable policy, evidence, and remediation workflow.
Delivered through a subcontractor relationship supporting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as the end customer. This case study does not imply a direct contractual relationship with FDIC.
01
The environment extended a standard Azure security benchmark with agency-specific requirements. Validating configuration drift, collecting evidence, tracking findings, and supporting remediation across the full estate could consume most of a business day for each analysis cycle. The result depended heavily on manual investigation and was difficult to repeat consistently.
02
We encoded the customized benchmark into Azure Policy controls, built reusable PowerShell governance modules, and operationalized the workflow through GitHub Actions. The automation checked configuration drift, generated compliance evidence, updated findings, and produced actionable remediation information. Supporting work included Splunk correlation searches and governance controls for emerging AI adoption.
03
Analysis that could take most of a business day completed in under one minute. The organization gained a repeatable compliance-engineering process across more than 60 Azure subscriptions, replacing point-in-time investigation with automated controls, evidence collection, and remediation support.
We can assess the current system, define the useful first release, and stay accountable through launch.
