The Challenge

An enterprise needed to standardize developer environments and tighten access controls to work under PCI DSS. Inconsistent local setups and ad hoc access are exactly what a PCI audit flags.

What We Built

Standardized Developer Workstations

We rolled out managed Cloud Workstations on a validated Ubuntu 24.04 image with a Linux-only constraint, so every developer works from a consistent, controlled environment.

Segmented Network Foundation

We built a Shared VPC architecture to separate and control network access across teams and workloads.

Access Governance as Code

We managed IAM and privileged access through Terraform, including entitlement creation, organization policy, and drift detection, so access stays auditable and consistent.

The Result

  • The enterprise got a PCI DSS-aligned foundation where developer environments and access controls are standardized and enforced through code.
  • Access and policy are version-controlled and monitored for drift, which is the kind of evidence a PCI audit looks for.
