About the Customer
ERPONE is a technology company that provides enterprise resource planning solutions designed to support critical business functions, including Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), Payroll, and operational business processes. The platform manages sensitive employee, financial, and organizational data, making security, availability, compliance, and operational continuity essential to business success.
Overview
As organizations increasingly rely on ERP platforms to manage critical business operations, ERPONE required a secure and scalable AWS environment capable of protecting sensitive business and employee information while maintaining uninterrupted access to essential services.
The platform supported multiple business-critical functions, including CRM, HRMS, Payroll, and other operational workflows. As adoption increased, the organization needed to strengthen security controls, improve compliance monitoring, implement proactive threat detection capabilities, and maintain high availability across critical workloads.
The organization also required a resilient cloud architecture capable of supporting business continuity, minimizing service disruption, and ensuring rapid recovery of ERP services during operational events.
To address these requirements, ERPONE partnered with OneData to design and implement a comprehensive AWS architecture focused on security, governance, monitoring, backup protection, recovery readiness, and operational resilience.

Opportunity | Protecting Business-Critical ERP Workloads While Improving Recovery Readiness
ERPONE’s ERP platform served as the foundation for multiple business processes, creating significant requirements around data protection, compliance, availability, and operational continuity.
The organization needed to protect sensitive employee records, payroll information, customer data, and business transactions across multiple integrated services while ensuring secure and uninterrupted access for authorized users.
Maintaining compliance required stronger governance controls, centralized monitoring, and continuous audit visibility. At the same time, the organization needed to improve threat detection capabilities to proactively identify vulnerabilities, anomalous activities, and security risks before they could impact business operations.
The platform also required a resilient architecture capable of maintaining service availability during changing workload demands while supporting secure backup, disaster recovery, and long-term data retention requirements. Recovery procedures needed to be documented and validated to ensure critical ERP services could be restored quickly during operational disruptions.
These challenges highlighted the need for a security-first and resilience-focused cloud architecture capable of combining protection, compliance, monitoring, recovery preparedness, and operational efficiency within a unified AWS environment.
Solution | Implementing a Secure and Resilient AWS Architecture
To address these challenges, OneData designed and implemented a comprehensive AWS-native security and resilience architecture for ERPONE’s ERP platform.
The ERP application was deployed on Amazon EC2 instances configured with Auto Scaling Groups and protected by an Application Load Balancer (ALB). HTTPS encryption was enforced using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), while Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provided shared storage for application workloads.
Data protection was strengthened through Amazon EBS encryption and encrypted Amazon S3 backups with versioning enabled to support data integrity and recovery requirements. AWS Secrets Manager was implemented to centrally manage database credentials, API keys, and application secrets.
Identity and access governance was enhanced using least-privilege IAM policies and role-based access controls. Automated IAM access key rotation was implemented using AWS Lambda, while IAM Access Analyzer continuously monitored permissions and access policies to identify potential security risks.
Network security controls were strengthened through a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture utilizing two public and two private subnets. Security groups and network access control lists (NACLs) were configured to restrict traffic flows and enforce network segmentation. AWS WAF and AWS Shield Advanced were deployed to protect internet-facing applications from common web threats and malicious traffic.
To improve workload availability and operational continuity, the environment leveraged Auto Scaling, load balancing, and redundant network design principles. AWS Backup with cross-region backup capabilities was implemented to improve recovery preparedness and protect critical ERP data against regional disruptions. Recovery procedures were formally documented and maintained, while backup restoration processes were regularly tested and validated to ensure operational readiness and business continuity.
Compliance and governance capabilities were implemented using AWS Config, including custom rules designed to validate security posture and operational controls. AWS Security Hub centralized security findings and compliance reporting, while AWS CloudTrail provided comprehensive audit logging with logs securely stored in a dedicated Amazon S3 location.
Threat detection and operational monitoring were strengthened through Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, Amazon CloudWatch, and AWS Lambda automation. GuardDuty continuously monitored workloads and AWS accounts for suspicious activity, while Inspector identified vulnerabilities across compute environments. CloudWatch alarms detected operational anomalies and triggered automated remediation workflows, helping improve system reliability and operational response.
To improve operational efficiency and cost governance, AWS Budgets was implemented for proactive cost monitoring and alerting. Reserved Instances and AWS Savings Plans were used to optimize infrastructure spending while maintaining workload performance and availability.
