Building secure AWS app workloads using automated best practices
summary
Unisys describes an automated review that runs ~100 questionnaire checks per workload, extends the AWS Well‑Architected framework with a sixth application pillar, and outputs high/medium risk rankings to drive milestone remediation. The stack centers on Unisys Cloud Architecture Navigator plus a continuous compliance engine called CCD compliance director, prebuilt accelerators for logging and Splunk, Control Tower/landing‑zone templates, and AI/ML data classification. Claims include fixing posture gaps found across large clients and reducing the kinds of waste that lead to the cited 35% cloud overspend.
