The Challenge

KAUYELA Consulting needed a robust and secure online presence to expand its reach and effectively communicate its services to potential clients. However, the company faced challenges with limited internal resources for managing the infrastructure and ensuring compliance with security best practices. They required a static website that was easy to manage, highly secure, and could be integrated with their existing IT service management processes.

The Solution

BATSAMAYI developed a secure, scalable static website for KAUYELA Consulting, hosted on Amazon S3. The solution leveraged Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, ensuring low latency and high availability. To address security and compliance, BATSAMAYI implemented AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access to the website resources and monitor permissions across the AWS environment.

Security: BATSAMAYI ensured that KAUYELA's website adhered to the highest security standards. IAM policies were defined to enforce least privilege access, ensuring that only authorised personnel could make changes to the website. Additionally, BATSAMAYI set up AWS CloudTrail to audit all API calls, providing full visibility into who accessed what resources and when. This setup enabled KAUYELA to maintain stringent security controls, reducing the risk of unauthorised access and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Operations Management: BATSAMAYI also integrated the website management with KAUYELA's existing IT service management (ITSM) processes. Using AWS CloudFormation, the website infrastructure was codified, allowing for automated deployments and updates. BATSAMAYI's solution included monitoring and logging via Amazon CloudWatch, enabling centralised operations management. This setup allowed KAUYELA to efficiently manage their website infrastructure while maintaining full control and visibility of their workloads, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.

The Outcome

KAUYELA Consulting now has a secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage static website that supports their business goals. The implementation of IAM and CloudTrail has strengthened their security posture, ensuring that all access to the website is monitored and controlled. The integration with existing ITSM processes has streamlined operations, allowing KAUYELA to focus on delivering exceptional consulting services without worrying about the technical complexities of website management. The website’s performance has improved significantly, with reduced latency and increased availability, providing an optimal experience for KAUYELA’s clients and stakeholders.
