How IndigoLearn built a secure, reliable, cost-effective AWS environment for global learners

IndigoLearn is an education platform focused on Finance and Accountancy education, using VFX, data analytics, and technology to make learning more accessible to students, teachers, and professionals around the world. As its online platform evolved, IndigoLearn needed a more structured AWS environment. Security controls, reliability, application performance, and cloud costs all needed attention without disrupting the platform's ongoing operations. Flentas worked with IndigoLearn to apply AWS best practices across these four areas, strengthening the environment and establishing a more disciplined approach to security, reliability, performance, and cost management.

The Challenge

Growth outpacing security, reliability, and cost discipline

IndigoLearn's expanding online education footprint created the need for greater consistency in how its AWS environment was secured, monitored, and managed.

No unified security framework

Existing AWS security measures needed to be brought together into a more structured framework.

Reliability concerns

The platform needed stronger controls to support reliable operations and reduce the risk of service disruption for learners and educators.

Performance and cost gaps

Data access and infrastructure performance needed optimization, while cloud spending required better visibility and governance.

The Approach

A four-pillar AWS best-practices implementation

Rather than addressing each concern in isolation, Flentas treated security, reliability, performance, and cost management as connected areas of the AWS environment.

  1. 01

    Strengthening security: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), IAM roles with private endpoints, stronger password policies, and an Incident Management Plan were implemented to address security and access-control gaps.

  2. 02

    Improving reliability: The network setup was secured and strengthened, while regular automated and manual backups were introduced to improve recovery readiness and reduce the risk of data loss or prolonged disruption.

  3. 03

    Optimizing performance: Flentas reviewed the tools being used for key workloads and conducted an in-depth analysis of persistent storage to identify opportunities to improve data access and performance efficiency.

  4. 04

    Establishing cost governance: Daily and monthly budgets were introduced alongside governance measures to give IndigoLearn better visibility into cloud spend and resource usage.

Business Outcome

More secure, reliable, and better managed

The engagement gave IndigoLearn a more structured AWS environment across the areas that mattered most to its growing platform.

Improved reliability

Network hardening and regular backups strengthened the platform's ability to maintain operations and recover from disruptions.

Reduced downtime risk

Stronger infrastructure and recovery practices helped minimize disruptions reaching students, teachers, and professionals.

Proactive risk management

An Incident Management Plan provided a defined approach for responding to unforeseen incidents and strengthening operational resilience.

Improved security and privacy controls

IAM roles, MFA, private endpoints, and stronger password policies strengthened access management and supported responsible handling of user data.

Better cost visibility

Daily and monthly budgets gave the team a more consistent way to monitor spending and identify resource usage that required attention.
