Teams bypass guardrails to move fast, creating hidden vulnerabilities and unmanaged costs. * Drift & Incompliance * Surprise Bills * Provisioning Bottlenecks ### 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. * 100% 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 Centralized control without bottlenecks. Your teams get the autonomy they need within guardrails you define. ##### AWS Organizations Structure Hierarchical account organization 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 organization-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 **66% faster** account onboarding, **100% consistent** security baselines, and audit-ready compliance from day one. Pillar 2 ### Security Defense 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. Centralized 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. Centralized inspection and VPC isolation. ##### Immutable Audit Logs Centralized, 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 **Zero** security baseline violations and instant compliance with SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA. Sleep better knowing your cloud is locked down. Pillar 3 ### Operational Excellence Automation over heroics. Infrastructure as code, centralized observability, and predictable operations. ##### Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Terraform or CloudFormation for everything. Version-controlled, peer-reviewed infrastructure changes. ##### Centralized 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 **99.99%** SLA availability and **80% reduction** in operational toil. Focus engineering time on revenue-generating features. FOR TERRAFORM TEAMS ## Account Factory for Terraform (AFT) If your organization already uses Terraform, AFT lets you provision and customize 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 Customizations 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. ###### AFT Architecture Pipeline ![Account Factory for Terraform (AFT) Architecture Diagram showing the GitOps workflow, account provisioning pipeline, and customization layers.](/_astro/aft.ln24souM_5AEl6.webp) [Reference: AWS AFT Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/aft-architecture.html) ## Why Partner with Parsectix Landing zones are complex. One misstep costs months in remediation. We've built dozens of enterprise-grade landing zones—and we'll build yours right the first time. #### AWS Advanced Partner Official AWS competency for Migration and Modernization.

Long-term Partnership ### Our Proven Methodology 1 ##### Discovery We map your current AWS environment, compliance requirements, and business objectives. 2 ##### Design Custom landing zone architecture tailored to your security, governance, and operational needs. 3 ##### Deploy Phased rollout with Control Tower or AFT. Automated baselines, testing, and validation. ##### Optimize Continuous improvement: cost optimization, security tuning, and operational refinements. ## Common Questions ### Why do we need a Landing Zone? 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 neighbor" issues between teams. ### Does this replace AWS Control Tower? No, it extends it. We use Control Tower as the core, but overlay **Account Factory for Terraform (AFT)** to handle complex customizations that Control Tower's native UI cannot manage. ### How do we handle existing AWS accounts? 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. ### What is the ongoing cost? 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. ### How long does implementation take? Our typical engagement is **6-8 weeks**. We start with a 2-week Discovery & Design phase, followed by rapid Deployment and then Account Migration. ### Can we customize security guardrails? Absolutely. Customization is a core feature. We implement your specific compliance controls (HIPAA, PCI, SOC2) as automated Service Control Policies (SCPs) and Config Rules. ## Build Your Foundation.
