Apex Networks achieves a secure and well-governed AWS environment leveraging DoiT's DevOps expertise

Leveraging DoiT to mature the DevOps practice, improve governance, observability, and security controls for AWS infrastructure

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™
Apex Networks

DoiT International's expertise in DevOps practice and AWS infrastructure management played a significant role in securing and operationalizing our infrastructure at scale. Their commitment to delivering cost-effective and optimized solutions, while providing expert support were critical factors in choosing to collaborate with DoiT. With their help, we were able to implement additional automation, improve our security and governance posture, and manage our infrastructure as code in order to simplify version control, maintenance, and automation.

The Challenge

Apex Networks faced significant challenges in governance, observability, and security for workloads running on AWS. These challenges were compounded by a single-account architecture that housed all workloads. As the organization grew, leadership recognized that moving to a multi-account structure would be more sustainable and enable better governance and security controls. However, implementing this architecture required additional expertise and in-depth knowledge that Apex Networks lacked in-house.

The Solution

DoiT's Cloud Reliability Engineers conducted discovery sessions to identify scaling challenges and implemented a comprehensive solution. They deployed AWS Control Tower with custom guardrails, integrated AWS IAM Identity Center with existing IdP, and built reusable CloudFormation StackSets for consistent security controls. DoiT also provided training on AWS Systems Manager, performed network architecture reviews, and created Infrastructure as Code templates to automate deployments and align with DevOps best practices.

Results

  • Prioritized essential governance and security items ahead of ISO/IEC 27001 audit, reducing risk and demonstrating readiness
  • Improved security posture through implementation of IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS Security Hub
  • Achieved operational efficiencies by modernizing and standardizing deployment approaches
  • Established secure, well-governed AWS environment enabling DevOps adoption while maintaining security controls

Meet Apex Networks

Apex Networks is a technology company offering advanced networking solutions to transportation and logistics clients since 1999. The company offers a range of services such as network design and implementation, managed services, and support to service providers such as vehicle recovery, patient transport, and windscreen replacement. By leveraging a team of highly skilled engineers and technicians to continuously develop their software, Apex Networks has become a market leader that can deliver high quality, customized solutions to meet the needs of small businesses and large enterprises that want to optimize their networking infrastructure in a digital world.

Implementation and Automation

To address audit and compliance, DoiT built and deployed reusable AWS CloudFormation StackSets to manage security controls consistently across existing and new accounts. This included IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS Security Hub, which together delivered a secure, well-governed AWS environment. By enabling monthly access-review reports to support ISO/IEC 27001 auditing, DoiT helped Apex Networks address essential governance and security items ahead of the upcoming audit. The final step in solving Apex Networks' scaling challenges was addressing its outdated infrastructure. The previous manual deployment methods created significant operational overhead. DoiT's CREs provided training, demonstrations, and best-practice documentation on using AWS Systems Manager to deploy and configure Apex Networks' large Amazon EC2 fleet.

What they say

Promptly

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

Extenda Retail

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

Monta

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

Wicked Reports

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.

Sentric Music

With maybe 5-10 minutes, Ava had guided me right down into the low-level detail of the services that we were running in our compute environment, named the exact instances that were starting to chew through our money, produced a report for me that showed that this was almost a direct correlation to the cost growth that we were seeing, which meant that we were able to get on top of it pretty much immediately.
