Cloud Security & Compliance

Q: How do you handle CMMC compliance?

We design cloud architecture aligned to CMMC Level 2 (or Level 3) practices — CUI protection, access control, audit logging, and incident response. The architecture provides the technical controls; your organization provides the policies and procedures.

Q: Do you provide ongoing security monitoring?

Yes. We offer managed security operations that include continuous monitoring, alert triage, vulnerability management, and incident response. Or we design the monitoring architecture and hand it off to your team.

Q: How often is DR tested?

We recommend quarterly DR testing for critical workloads. We design DR procedures with automated testing capabilities and conduct the initial DR test as part of implementation. Ongoing testing can be managed by your team or included in managed operations.

Protect manufacturing workloads, product data, and partner access in the cloud. Manufacturers may hold controlled technical data, customer information, product designs, supplier records, and operational history under different obligations. We map the actual data and access boundaries, then engineer cloud controls, evidence, monitoring, and ownership around them.

The Problem

Cloud controls are not mapped to the manufacturing data, workloads, users, and obligations they must protect.

Cloud problems begin when workloads move or grow without a clear account of the business dependencies, access, recovery, security, monitoring, ownership, and cost behind them.

What leaders see

Reliability, access, and cost are difficult to explain.

Teams know the infrastructure matters but cannot connect incidents, spending, recovery, or performance to the work it supports.

What is actually happening

The workload has no complete operating model.

Dependencies, controls, recovery objectives, monitoring, and ownership are distributed across tools, vendors, and individual knowledge.

What gets worse

Migration moves the uncertainty instead of resolving it.

The platform changes while weak access, integration, recovery, cost, and support practices remain.

What Changes

What Cloud Security & Compliance includes.

Manufacturers may hold controlled technical data, customer information, product designs, supplier records, and operational history under different obligations. We map the actual data and access boundaries, then engineer cloud controls, evidence, monitoring, and ownership around them.

Identity & Access Management

Role-based access control, least-privilege policies, MFA enforcement, and service account governance. Every user and system has exactly the access they need and nothing more.

Network Security

VPC segmentation, security groups, WAF, DDoS protection, and private connectivity to on-premise. Network architecture designed to isolate workloads and limit blast radius.

Encryption

Data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Key management with customer-managed keys where compliance requires it. Encryption applied consistently across all storage and communication layers.

Compliance Frameworks

Architecture designed to meet SOC 2, ITAR, CMMC, NIST 800-171, and industry-specific requirements. Control mapping documentation that auditors can use directly.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Automated backups with defined RPO/RTO targets, cross-region replication for critical workloads, and documented DR procedures that are tested regularly — not just written.

Security Monitoring & Incident Response

Cloud-native security monitoring (GuardDuty, Security Center), centralized logging, alert routing, and documented incident response procedures. Threats detected and responded to, not just logged.

How It Fits Your Operations

How Cloud Security & Compliance fits your operation.

Cloud & InfrastructureWhich workloads should change, what continuity the business requires, and how security, recovery, access, integration, and cost will be governed.

Governance dependencyCloud work needs documented workload dependencies, access rules, recovery objectives, security controls, monitoring, cost ownership, and a tested operating model.

Start With the Operating Problem

Define the smallest sound response and delivery sequence.

Metrotechs determines what the operation actually requires before selecting technology. When a structured assessment is warranted, Launchpad turns evidence into priorities, risks, architecture, and an implementation Roadmap.

Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution.

Launchpad is available when the engagement needs assessment evidence, a Roadmap, and ongoing delivery governance.

Delivery sequence

How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Security & Compliance.

Manufacturers may hold controlled technical data, customer information, product designs, supplier records, and operational history under different obligations. We map the actual.

Compliance Assessment

Identify all compliance requirements — regulatory, contractual, and internal policy. Map requirements to cloud security controls and identify gaps.

Security Architecture

Design the security architecture — IAM, networking, encryption, monitoring, and DR — with controls mapped to each compliance requirement.

Implementation

Implement security controls as infrastructure-as-code for consistency and auditability. Every control is version-controlled and reproducible.

Validation & Audit Prep

Validate controls against compliance requirements. Generate control documentation, evidence packages, and audit-ready reports.

Can AWS/Azure meet ITAR requirements?

Yes. AWS GovCloud and Azure Government provide ITAR-compliant infrastructure. We design the architecture to ensure ITAR-controlled data stays within compliant regions and access is restricted to US persons as required.
