Build your
enterprise landing zone
right the first time.

Don’t build on shaky ground. An AWS Landing Zone is your insurance policy against security breaches, compliance failures, and cost overruns. Get it right from day one.

Why landing zones matter.

Legacy

The "ClickOps" Trap

Manual account creation and ad-hoc security settings lead to "Security Sprawl." Teams bypass guardrails to move fast, creating hidden vulnerabilities and unmanaged costs.

  • Drift & Incompliance
  • Surprise Bills
  • Provisioning Bottlenecks
Modern

The Landing Zone

A precise, automated foundation. Accounts are vended with security baselines baked in. Governance is invisible, audit compliance is automatic, and developers just code, while maintaining quality.

  • Automated Policy Enforcement
  • Single-Pane Observability
  • Self-Service Vending

Three Pillars Framework

Built on AWS best practices.

Every successful landing zone delivers value across three critical dimensions. Here’s how we build yours.

Pillar 1

Governance

Centralised control without bottlenecks. Your teams get the autonomy they need within guardrails you define.

AWS Organizations Structure

Hierarchical account organisation with OUs for different environments, teams, and workloads. Logical segmentation that scales with your business.

Automated Account Provisioning

Account Factory creates new accounts in minutes with security baselines, network, and cost controls pre-configured.

Service Control Policies (SCPs)

Guardrails that set maximum permissions organisation-wide. Prevent admins from disabling security services or exposing data.

Cost Management & Budgets

Consolidated billing, budget alerts, and spending limits. Automatic notifications when thresholds are breached.

Business Value

Faster account onboarding, consistent security baselines, and an audit-friendly foundation from day one.

Pillar 2

Security

Defence in depth. Every account starts secure and stays secure through automated monitoring.

Preventive Controls

SCPs and RCPs block risky services and enforce encryption before actions happen.

Detective Controls

GuardDuty, Security Hub, and Config continuously monitor for threats. Centralised security dashboard.

IAM Identity Center (SSO)

Single sign-on across all accounts. Least privilege access with no long-term credentials.

Network Segmentation

Transit Gateway hub-and-spoke design. Centralised inspection and VPC isolation.

Immutable Audit Logs

Centralised, tamper-proof CloudTrail logs with MFA-delete protection for compliance.

Encryption by Default

Enforced encryption at rest (KMS) and in transit. Secrets rotation automation.

Business Value

Preventive guardrails designed to support SOC 2 and PCI-DSS controls, with security baselines applied to every new account.

Pillar 3

Operational Excellence

Automation over heroics. Infrastructure as code, centralised observability, and predictable operations.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Terraform or CloudFormation for everything. Version-controlled, peer-reviewed infrastructure changes.

Centralised Observability

Cross-account CloudWatch dashboards and log aggregation. Single pane of glass for all operations.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated deployment pipelines with testing and approval gates. Rollback capabilities.

Disaster Recovery & Backup

Automated AWS Backup policies. Cross-region replication for critical data compliance.

Automated Remediation

Self-healing infrastructure using Config Rules and EventBridge to fix issues automatically.

Runbooks & Docs

Automated documentation and Systems Manager runbooks. Knowledge base that evolves with you.

Business Value

Built for high availability, with automation that reduces operational toil so engineering time goes to product work.

For Terraform Teams

Account Factory for
Terraform (AFT).

If your organisation already uses Terraform, AFT lets you provision and customise AWS accounts using infrastructure as code, while maintaining all the governance benefits of AWS Control Tower.

GitOps Workflow

Trigger account creation by simply pushing a Terraform file to your Git repo. AFT handles the rest automatically.

Global Customisations

Apply baseline configurations (security, networking, logging) to all accounts (global), specific OUs (targeted), or individual accounts. Version-controlled templates ensure consistency.

Drift Detection

AFT continuously monitors accounts for drift. If someone makes a manual change, AFT automatically corrects it to match your Terraform state.

FAQ

Common questions.

Single accounts don't scale. A Landing Zone provides isolation. If one account is breached, the others are safe. It also simplifies billing and prevents "noisy neighbour" issues between teams.

No, it extends it. We use Control Tower as the core, but overlay Account Factory for Terraform (AFT) to handle complex customisations that Control Tower’s native UI cannot manage.

We import them. The Account Factory can ingest existing accounts into the new Organization structure. We’ll audit them first to ensure they meet the new security baseline before enrolling.

The AWS infrastructure cost for a Landing Zone is minimal (mostly Config rules and CloudTrail logs). The main investment is the one-time implementation project.

Our typical engagement is 6-8 weeks. We start with a 2-week Discovery & Design phase, followed by rapid Deployment and then Account Migration.

Yes. Customisation is a core feature. We implement your specific compliance controls (for example PCI-DSS or SOC 2 requirements) as automated Service Control Policies (SCPs) and Config Rules.
