Fortifying the Cloud — AWS Security & Key Management Done Right

As companies scale their infrastructure on AWS, one foundational element often overlooked until it's too late is robust key management.

Security starts with access — and AWS KMS (Key Management Service) is your first line of defense. But leveraging KMS effectively means more than just enabling encryption. It's about governance, automation, and visibility.

At Nimble, we help clients move beyond the defaults:

• Customer-managed keys (CMKs) for full control and auditability
• Seamless integration with services like S3, RDS, Lambda, and Secrets Manager
• Automated key rotation to meet compliance standards (HIPAA, SOC2, FedRAMP)
• Centralized monitoring of key usage through AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch
• Least-privilege policies using IAM and KMS grants — no overexposed keys

The takeaway? Security isn't just a checkbox.

It's a living architecture. And your encryption strategy should evolve as fast as your infrastructure does.
