A rapidly growing European e-commerce firm partnered with Intarmour to transform its cloud security and governance model. Faced with audit fatigue, alert overload, and misaligned DevSecOps practices, the company aimed to move from reactive compliance to embedded, proactive security. The outcome: full visibility across workloads, continuous control validation, and accelerated compliance workflows—without slowing feature delivery.
The Mission
The client, a high-traffic online retailer with operations across multiple EU countries, had rapidly expanded its cloud footprint over three years. AWS, GCP, and Azure workloads were deployed by separate teams, with minimal shared visibility or unified policy enforcement.
While the business was thriving, the underlying cloud posture was brittle. Misconfigured storage, excessive IAM privileges, untracked APIs, and manual compliance documentation created delays during audits and uncertainty during incident response.
The objective was clear: implement a unified security and compliance fabric that would scale with the company’s growth, support PCI-DSS and GDPR mandates, and enable faster, safer innovation across DevOps teams.
The Approach
From overload to clarity, with security embedded into context
Turning noise into signal—governance by design Intarmour kicked off with a cross-cloud discovery phase, conducting an in-depth analysis of workload sprawl, IAM structure, resource tagging inconsistencies, and risk scoring across accounts.
Key insights included:
High false positive rate from legacy CSPM tools
Critical risks buried under noise
Siloed ownership between platform, security, and compliance
We introduced Wiz as the unifying control layer, integrating it into CI/CD workflows, Slack-based alerts, JIRA automation for remediation, and evidence streams for audit reporting.
Rather than disrupt the pipeline, we injected governance into existing developer flows.
The Implementation
Deploying Wiz across fragmented environments—without disruption
Unified cloud posture across environments and teams Over an 8-week period, Intarmour led a phased rollout across environments, with key milestones:
Unified asset inventory established for over 1800 resources
Misconfigurations and CVEs triaged based on business context and blast radius
Identity risks visualized and scoped down via Wiz’s IAM graph
API integrations built with the firm’s ticketing and SIEM tools
Real-time dashboards deployed for compliance, posture trends, and escalation
Enablement was critical: security champions were trained inside each team, ensuring ownership without friction.
Compliance Layer
Reducing audit friction with real-time, mapped controls
From last-minute panic to continuous readiness Previously, PCI-DSS and GDPR audits required weeks of manual evidence gathering. With Wiz, evidence was tied directly to control implementation and surfaced in real time.
Resource configurations mapped to control objectives
Exceptions tracked, time-bound, and signed off in-platform
Remediation SLAs embedded into JIRA workflows
Daily drift reports and audit deltas exported in a single click
Compliance moved from “retrospective” to “live.” The result? Time saved, stress reduced, and regulator confidence increased.
The Outcome
Proactive cloud security that scales with the business
Faster deployments. Stronger governance. Fewer incidents. After less than three months, the firm had:
Shifted from reactive CSPM alerts to proactive posture management
Cut critical misconfiguration dwell time to under four hours
Reduced manual audit labor by 90%
Achieved PCI-DSS re-certification with no major findings
Cloud governance was no longer a roadblock. It became an accelerator.
Security became visible, understandable, and measurable. And innovation resumed—not in spite of governance, but because of it.
