Landing zone design
Multi-account and multi-subscription structures with clear separation of environments, workloads and duties.
Cloud Security
Secure Cloud Architecture & Landing Zones
Get your cloud foundation right once. We design and implement landing zones, guardrails and reference architectures so every new workload starts secure, without slowing your delivery teams.
The challenge
Many organisations grew their cloud estate one project at a time. The result is inconsistent accounts, ad-hoc networking and security controls that depend on individual teams remembering to apply them.
Typical risks we uncover
- 01No consistent account or subscription structure
- 02Guardrails applied manually, if at all
- 03Security reviews that block delivery instead of enabling it
Cloud Security
What we do
Design and build a cloud foundation that is secure by default and scales with your organisation.
01
02
Preventive guardrails
Organisation policies, SCPs and Azure Policy that make insecure configurations impossible, not just detectable.
03
Network architecture
Hub-and-spoke or mesh designs, private connectivity, segmentation and controlled egress.
04
Encryption & key management
KMS and HSM strategy, customer-managed keys and secrets management patterns that scale.
05
Reference architectures
Approved, reusable patterns for common workloads: web applications, data platforms and AI workloads.
06
Infrastructure as code
Everything delivered as Terraform or Bicep modules, versioned and ready for your pipelines.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Talk to a consultant about your environment. The first call is free and under NDA if you need it.
Talk to an expert01Can you work with our existing landing zone?
Yes. Most engagements start by assessing what you already have and evolving it. A full rebuild is rarely necessary.
02Do you use provider accelerators or custom code?
Whatever fits. We are comfortable with AWS Control Tower, Azure Landing Zones and custom Terraform, and we recommend the option your team can realistically maintain.
03Will guardrails slow down our developers?
Done well, they speed them up. Developers get pre-approved patterns and fast feedback instead of late-stage security reviews.
