Cloud Cost and Security Retainer

Lower Azure and AWS spending and a monthly view of security posture, for a flat fee below the savings identified.

For public agencies
Azure · AWS

The problem

  • Resources sized once and never revisited; idle environments running continuously
  • Grant-funded systems accruing charges after the grant ends
  • Security findings available in the provider's own tools but not reviewed

Record

  • Reduced a state agency's Azure spending by more than 20 percent
  • 25+ years in information technology; AWS and Microsoft Azure certified
  • HIPAA/HITECH and 21 CFR Part 11 regulated-environment experience

How it works

Snapshot, no cost: 30 minutes on the agency's own dashboards; no credentials shared.

Assessment, $4,500 fixed: full review and prioritized savings list. Refunded if annual savings identified are under twice the fee.

Retainer: monthly reports and remediation through least-privilege, read-only-by-default access.

What it costs
