A Leading Ecommerce Client

A mid-sized ecommerce retailer serving over a million customers nationwide, the client manages large volumes of customer data, transactions, and third-party integrations. With the rise in digital fraud and tightening regulatory scrutiny (PCI-DSS, GDPR), their cloud infrastructure had to evolve rapidly, without halting customer-facing innovations.

The Challenge

The client struggled with weak access controls, audit failures, and unencrypted data workflows. Compliance gaps with PCI-DSS and GDPR posed risks to customer trust and future partnerships. Internal teams lacked a structured security model and the resources to implement one while supporting daily operations.

The Solution

Centizen performed a thorough audit of the client’s cloud infrastructure and deployed a custom security framework with identity controls, encryption standards, centralized logging, and automated policy enforcement. This ensured both regulatory alignment and scalable protection.

The Outcome

Within 10 weeks, the client achieved full PCI-DSS compliance and significantly improved their incident detection capabilities. Security was seamlessly embedded into their DevOps pipeline, enabling continuous governance without impacting development speed.

Diagnosing the Weak Links

Centizen began with a discovery sprint to audit the cloud environment. Unencrypted storage, misconfigured public endpoints, and legacy permissions were identified. The team created a risk heatmap to help prioritize remediation.

Designing a Secure Foundation

A tailored policy framework was developed covering encryption, access control, and incident response. Pre-approved infrastructure templates were introduced to ensure all new resources were compliant by default.

Implementation of Controls

Role-based access control (RBAC) and mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) were enforced across all teams. AWS security services such as CloudTrail, Config, and GuardDuty were integrated. Secure CI/CD practices, including static analysis and vulnerability scanning, were introduced to safeguard development pipelines.

Governance and Enablement

Compliance dashboards and reporting tools were deployed to provide visibility. Centizen conducted structured training sessions for internal teams and formalized audit-ready documentation. Policies were embedded into daily operations.

Sustained Compliance Support

Centizen continues to provide monthly compliance reviews, quarterly configuration health checks, and on-demand audit support to ensure the client’s cloud remains compliant and secure over time.

The Outcome

The client transitioned from a reactive and fragmented security model to a governance-driven, scalable, and compliant infrastructure. Compliance risks were mitigated, internal teams gained control and clarity, and customer trust was strengthened through improved data protection and audit readiness.
