Course Overview
The AWS course "How to Audit in AWS Cloud" is designed for auditing and compliance professionals tasked with assessing regulated workloads in the cloud, including roles such as IT auditors, compliance analysts, and cloud security assessors. While not tied to a single certification exam, this training aligns closely with industry standards like ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, SOC 1/SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI DSS, preparing participants to evaluate AWS environments against these frameworks. Offered through the Cloud Audit Academy in collaboration with PwC, this 15-hour, instructor-led program equips learners with cloud-specific verification techniques that bridge traditional audit methodologies with modern AWS infrastructure. With over 80% of Fortune 500 companies now using AWS, demand for auditors fluent in cloud-native controls continues to grow rapidly across financial services, healthcare, and government sectors.
Participants engage directly with core AWS audit and compliance services including AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, AWS Audit Manager, and AWS IAM Access Analyzer within the AWS Management Console. The hands-on lab environment simulates real-world scenarios where students configure multi-region CloudTrail trails with log file integrity validation, establish AWS Config conformance packs to enforce resource compliance, and use Security Hub to aggregate and prioritize findings. A key project involves building an automated audit trail that demonstrates how to collect, validate, and report evidence for a SOC 2 Type II assessment, ensuring chain of custody and data integrity throughout. These labs reflect actual customer use cases, enabling auditors to practice identifying misconfigurations, detecting unauthorized access attempts, and validating encryption settings at scale.
This course prepares professionals for real-world auditing challenges in AWS and supports career advancement toward globally recognized credentials like ISACA’s CISA and (ISC)²’s CISSP. Information systems auditors with cloud expertise earn an average base salary of $72,123 in the U.S., with potential increases of up to 10% for those possessing specialized AWS audit skills. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official AWS courseware, and access to expert instructors who are AWS-certified and hold active audit credentials such as CISA and PCI QSA. Upon completion, auditors are equipped to lead compliance assessments in AWS, support regulatory audits with confidence, and drive secure cloud adoption across enterprise organizations.
