Daunting Control Tower Implementation: As QSRSoft’s customer base expanded, managing their AWS environment became more complex. The organization was facing growing pains around governance, scalability, and operational efficiency. They knew that AWS Control Tower could help, but they wanted to avoid “learning to fly while building the plane.”

Minimize Client Impact: Understandably, QSRSoft did not want their customer experience to be impacted. They needed to minimize the risk of errors, but knew that small changes can make a big difference. For example, adding new rules and controls could interfere with existing production workloads.

Legacy Integration Complexities: QSRSoft’s 60+ accounts were built over the last 10 years, resulting in a complicated variety of settings. Legacy accounts – which were set up before some current AWS properties/permissions even existed – were a particular risk to standardization.

Security Vulnerabilities: QSRSoft did not have a consolidated location to review and remediate security vulnerabilities. Additionally, legacy accounts – built before many of AWS’s current governance features existed – had inconsistent policies and permissions, increasing the risk of security gaps and compliance issues.

Manual Account Setup: Setting up new AWS accounts was a time-consuming process, taking up to 90 minutes per account. This involved manual configurations and the application of governance rules, which was not only inefficient but also error-prone.

Team-to-Team Support: Rego’s experts worked closely with QSRSoft’s in-house AWS Solutions Architects to ensure a smooth transition. Flexibly adapting to the client’s schedule, Rego provided hands-on guidance, answered questions in real-time, and resolved issues.

Best Practice Implementation: Throughout the integration of Control Tower, the Rego team introduced the best practices to optimize QSRSoft’s methods and environments. Additionally, the Rego team provided best practice information to deploy and integrate Security Hub.

Resourceful Solutions: When unexpected integration issues surfaced, such as legacy account conflicts or duplicate costs from overlapping configurations, QSRSoft’s internal teams remained calm and confident, knowing Rego would quickly help identify root causes and provide clear, effective solutions.

Legacy Account Integration: Rego helped the client enroll legacy accounts into Control Tower by navigating complex pre-existing permission sets, roles, and logging configurations. QSRSoft’s team acknowledged that these tasks could have taken days to resolve on their own.

Successful Control Tower Implementation: Guided by Rego Consulting, QSRSoft now benefits from the successful deployment of AWS Control tower. They operate a leaner, faster, and more resilient AWS footprint that will support innovation for years to come.

Reduced Risk with Zero Disruption: Rego’s hands-on guidance turned a high-risk migration into a seamless rollout. They helped QSRSoft avoid misconfiguration, downtime, and customer-facing disruptions. By strategically testing Control Tower changes in non-production environments first, the client maintained operational stability throughout the implementation.

66% Faster Account Set Up: Using Control Tower’s Account Factory, new environments can be provisioned in under 30 minutes, with governance rules and VPC networking configurations automatically applied. This process ensures faster delivery, fewer errors, and maximizes ROI.

Centralized Governance: With a unified view of their security posture across all AWS accounts, QSRSoft can now identify and address risks faster, align more closely with AWS best practices, and maintain consistent compliance across their growing cloud environment.

Standardized Cloud Architecture: By standardizing IAM roles, VPC configurations, and guardrails across all AWS accounts – including legacy accounts – QSRSoft has minimized configuration drift, simplified account management, and strengthened security through consistent, automated policy enforcement.

Scalable Foundation: With Control Tower in place, QSRSoft is now equipped to onboard future AWS services such as Security Hub, enhancing threat visibility and expanding their cloud governance capabilities.
