AWS evidence is collecting, but failed Tests do not point to the account that needs action.
The trial needs clear source attribution while the cloud team limits permission changes and configuration time.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I’ve got a failed Test on the dashboard, and three engineers are asking which account I mean.”

Owns SOC 2 audit readiness for a regulated technology organization running separate AWS accounts.
What is at stake
Failed AWS Tests cannot be tied to a source account, forcing manual log checks during the trial. You must weigh fast proof of value against the cloud team's narrow permission and change window.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast trial proof vs least-privilege access
- account attribution vs limited change windows
- continuous monitoring vs manual reconciliation
- technical feasibility vs audit usability
