We follow AWS Well-Architected, Google Cloud Architecture Framework, and Azure Well-Architected — giving you a report your auditors will recognise.
What We Deliver
Cloud Architecture Review Services
Architecture Audit
Full review of your VPC design, service topology, IAM policies, and infrastructure-as-code — mapped against the Well-Architected pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and cost.
Cost Analysis
We audit your billing exports, identify waste (idle resources, over-provisioned instances, orphaned snapshots), and model Reserved Instance or Savings Plan purchases to cut spend by 20–40%.
Security Assessment
IAM least-privilege review, public-exposure audit, secret hygiene check, encryption-at-rest and in-transit verification, and a prioritised CVE list for your running images.
Performance Benchmarking
Latency profiling, cache hit-rate analysis, database query review, and CDN configuration check — with before/after projections for each recommended change.
Disaster Recovery Review
RTO and RPO targets assessed against your actual backup schedules, replication lag, and failover runbooks. We identify single points of failure and model the cost of fixing them.
Roadmap & Action Plan
Every finding scored by severity and effort. You get a phased roadmap: quick wins in week 1, medium-term improvements in months 1–3, and strategic changes for the next 12 months.
How It Works
Our Cloud Architecture Review Process
Access & Discovery
Read-only IAM access granted to our audit account. We never need write permissions — you can revoke access after the review.
Automated Scan
Prowler, AWS Trusted Advisor, and Infracost run against your environment. Results feed into our manual review.
Manual Deep Dive
Senior architect reviews your IaC, architecture diagrams, and billing exports. Every finding is evidence-backed with a screenshot or CLI output.
Report Delivery
PDF report with executive summary, detailed findings, and the prioritised action plan. Delivered before noon.
Review Call
60-minute walkthrough of every finding. You ask questions, we explain trade-offs. Recording provided.
30-Day Follow-up
We check back on your progress. Findings that have been addressed are closed; blockers get a second opinion at no charge.
Technologies We Use
FAQ
Common Questions
What access do you need to run the audit?
Read-only IAM access to your AWS, GCP, or Azure account. We use a dedicated audit IAM role with the minimum permissions required to run the tools. You can revoke access immediately after we deliver the report.
How long does the review take?
Standard delivery is 5 business days from when we receive access. For large multi-account organisations or multi-cloud environments, allow 7–10 days.
Will you implement the recommendations?
That is a separate engagement. Many clients use the review report to have their internal team or our cloud infrastructure team implement the changes. We can quote implementation alongside the audit if you prefer.
Is the report confidential?
Yes. Everything we see is covered by an NDA signed before access is granted. We do not share your architecture, data, or findings with any third party.
What do I actually receive?
A PDF report with an executive summary (suitable for your board or investors), detailed findings section with evidence screenshots, and a prioritised action plan spreadsheet. Plus the 60-minute review call recording.
