AWS Control Tower customers

We started using AWS Control Tower at the beginning of our migration project to set up a multi-account environment, improve security levels, and benefit from pre-made rules of best practices without having to worry about them. We were looking to put in place an account strategy, governance, and good management of security rules from the start of our project. AWS Control Tower enabled us to set up the first organizational structure that can easily evolve later. It also allowed us to configure AWS IAM Identity Center (Successor to AWS Single Sign-On) and centralize access logs in a dedicated account. AWS Control Tower enabled us to bring default security elements that could have been omitted initially. With AWS Control Tower, we noticed around 50% productivity improvement in our deployments of controls and around 20% improvement in our account creation and landing operations.

We started using AWS Control Tower in May 2022. It enables us to set up new accounts for our customers quickly and manage them easily. As a European company, we wanted to ensure that data residency is an essential feature of the service. AWS Control Tower allows us to deploy and update security rules through controls so we can provide the most secure environment for our customers in accordance with our ISO-27001 certification.

Data residency in AWS Control Tower adds to our toolbox of programmatically setting up guardrails and data controls. As data regulations evolve, this capability will assist compliance and help us enable innovation to serve patients around the world.

Rego Consulting's solution, Rego SaaS, is built on AWS Control Tower. Our business opportunity required us to rapidly migrate approximately 150 clients within three months. Our optimal technical architecture logically separated each client in a unique AWS account. AWS Control Tower enabled us to provision highly consistent accounts rapidly. AWS's Customizations Framework For Control Tower (CFCT) included our base architecture, access controls, guardrails, and security services. We leverage Control Tower to centrally govern and monitor our decentralized SaaS solution.

We are excited about the new fully-managed AWS Control Tower data residency guardrails and Region Deny capability that will help us maintain our security posture through automation, which saves us time and effort while ensuring our data and workloads are deployed in compliance with regulatory requirements.

At superluminar, we can now serve our Europe-based customers even better by enabling the AWS Control Tower data residency features. This helps customers keep their data in their desired AWS Regions and prevents data breaches and compliance violations. Data residency will also be enabled by default in our superwerker AWS Quick Start, a scalable and secure jump-start to the AWS cloud.

We regularly see our customers struggling with having visibility on where their data is located and how they are being protected especially when working across a large set of accounts. Under such challenges, customers tend to rethink their cloud journeys. The new data residency feature in AWS Control Tower provides both preventive and detective controls to enforce data residency while meeting the customer asks for visibility and automation.

We are also excited to leverage the new data residency guardrails in Control Tower that helps address the data residency requirements of our customers.

Company policies as well as legal and regulatory requirements mandate many of our customers to keep data in-country or in specific AWS Regions. These requirements can become blockers for cloud adoption. With data residency features from AWS Control Tower, Tech Mahindra can now address these challenges and help customers mitigate these risks.
