Architecture & Operations
A well-structured AWS environment is easier to secure, operate, and scale. We review your architecture, governance, and operational practices against the standards that make long-term management sustainable.
Well-Architected Framework Review
We assess your AWS architecture against the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimisation. We identify areas of unnecessary complexity, single points of failure, and opportunities to simplify.
Account Structure & Organisations
We review your AWS Organizations setup, organizational unit (OU) hierarchy, and Service Control Policies (SCPs). A well-structured multi-account environment makes it easier to apply consistent guardrails, manage access, and contain the blast radius of any incident. We identify where the current structure creates risk or operational overhead.
Tagging Strategy
We review your current tagging coverage and consistency across accounts. Tags are essential for cost allocation, ownership tracking, environment identification, and operational management. We identify resources with missing or inconsistent tags and recommend a tagging strategy that can be enforced through SCPs and AWS Config rules.
Resource Lifecycle & Hygiene
We identify orphaned and unused resources — unattached EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, idle load balancers, stopped instances, empty S3 buckets, and other artefacts that add cost and potential security risk. Cleaning these up reduces your attack surface and your AWS bill.
S3 & Storage Security
We review S3 bucket configurations for public access settings, encryption at rest, bucket policies, ACLs, and access logging. We identify buckets that are unnecessarily exposed or misconfigured and recommend controls to bring them in line with your security requirements.
