Golftripz has been around since 2009, started by people intensely passionate about golf, as an endeavor to deliver delightful golf holiday experiences to golfers from around the world.

Golftripz has reached out to golfers from more than 30 countries across 5 continents. The passion to deliver great experiences at great value are the core philosophy at Golftripz, which gets more intense by the day with increased motivation from seeing golfers happy with their services.

The Challenge

Golftripz migrated the infrastructure from a colocation facility to AWS by their Application partner. They experienced explosive growth and expanded their services to 30 countries across 5 continents.

The partner supporting Golftripz at that time configured the AWS environment as per the application strategy, but the company must follow all security parameters and compliances to fulfil their financial institution’s requirements. While the team was able to build the application successfully, challenges were faced when it came to infra management, providing security parameters and compliance, and providing reports for financial audits.

To ensure the uptime of a Golf Holidays platform, GolfTripz needed a cloud service provider with the expertise and resources to stabilize its existing AWS environment, build a new modernized environment, and provide ongoing management and monitoring along with Security Compliance.

The AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies were reviewed, and configuration changes were applied. GoDgtl also created a self-serve, multi-factor authentication policy along with the removal of public write access to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and closing ports on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to block attacks.
  • Specific improvements applied by GoDgtl include auto-scaling and load balancing of AWS compute resources, access management, and intrusion prevention system, threat management system implementation.
