Cloud Configuration and Best Practice

Architecture: Cloud Security Controls

Designing and developing insecure systems and software can be extremely costly, and it will require a vast amount of effort to fix security vulnerabilities and other issues that are introduced within the foundations.  Therefore, the goal of this service is to help organisations implement controls and cloud security best practices at the design stage that are intended to mitigate common attacks against systems and services.

What’s involved?

This service includes a review conducted at the design stage of the development lifecycle, which helps solicit expectations and incorporate stakeholder security requirements into new cloud infrastructure or updates to existing systems.

Workshops are undertaken to develop and discuss requirements, proposed architectures, and functionality so we can understand your unique requirements.

What problems does it solve?

We offer a secure-by-design approach that reduces the likelihood of an information security incident as a result of gaps within the design and architecture of cloud infrastructure.

This is safer and more effective than simply ‘bolting’ security on at the end of the development process, which may not fully address insecure design.

We can ensure the specification meets legal, contractual, and regulatory requirements.

Our recommendations are made based on best practice guidance, including the NCSC’s Cloud Security Principles and other emerging standards, so you can maintain a resilient, compliant, and future-ready security posture that instills confidence in your stakeholders.

We help translate security jargon into a format that Cloud Engineers, Infrastructure Managers, Software Architects, and Developers understand to make the implementation of cloud security controls smoother and easier during the design phase.

We have a lot of experience in helping clients enhance their cloud security posture. If your scratching your head about challenges with implementing security controls into your cloud infrastructure, get in touch for a no-pressure chat
