AWS Well Architected Framework Review (WAFR) for Financial Services

The significance of a Well Architected Framework Review (WAFR) lies in its ability to identify areas where your workload’s architecture and operation might carry high, medium, or low technical and administrative risks. We rely on the AWS Well-Architected Tool to evaluate and pinpoint potential vulnerabilities or inefficiencies within your AWS workload. The WAFR assists you in recognizing risks based on their potential impacts, allowing you to prioritize addressing the most critical areas. The WAFR process unfolds in three phases:

Prepare: This phase involves gathering relevant information about your AWS architecture and operation, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its components and objectives.

Review: In this crucial step, we rely on the AWS Well-Architected Tool and our expertise to assess your architecture and operations against industry accepted practices. We categorize risks as high, medium, or low based on your responses to the review questions.

Improve: Armed with an understanding of your risks, we help you prioritize and create a strategic improvement plan. This plan is geared towards addressing the identified risks in a way that optimizes architectural and operational performance, security, and efficiency.
