The Audit

Six Dimensions of Your Cloud Architecture

Our assessment covers every critical dimension of your cloud environment — not just cost, but security, resilience, compliance, and long-term scalability. Most clients are surprised by what we find.

💰

Cost Optimisation

Unused resources, right-sizing opportunities, reserved instance strategy, and savings plan analysis. We typically identify 20–40% in recoverable spend.

🔐

Security & Compliance

IAM policies, network security groups, encryption at rest and in transit, vulnerability exposure, and compliance posture (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA).

📈

Scalability & Performance

Auto-scaling configuration, load balancing, database performance, CDN usage, and capacity planning against your growth projections.

🛡️

Resilience & Disaster Recovery

Multi-region failover, backup policies, RTO/RPO validation, and single points of failure that could bring your systems down.

🏗️

Architecture Patterns

Well-architected framework alignment, microservices vs. monolith trade-offs, API design, and technical debt assessment.

⚙️

DevOps & Automation

CI/CD pipeline maturity, Infrastructure as Code adoption, monitoring and alerting coverage, and deployment frequency assessment.

Clients who complete our Cloud Assessment typically identify $50,000–$300,000 in annual cloud savings — often covering the cost of the assessment many times over.

The Assessment Process

We work within your environment with read-only access. No disruption to production systems. No consultants camped in your office for months.

1
Day 1–2

Scoping & Access Setup

We agree on scope, request read-only access to your cloud accounts (AWS IAM role, Azure reader role, or GCP viewer role), and brief your team on what to expect.

2
Day 3–6

Architecture Discovery

We systematically audit your cloud environment across all six dimensions — automated scanning combined with expert manual review of architecture patterns, policies, and configurations.

3
Day 7–8

Technical Interviews

1-hour sessions with your cloud/DevOps team and engineering leads to understand context behind architecture decisions and validate our findings.

4
Day 9–12

Analysis & Recommendations

We size every finding by impact, effort, and urgency — and build a prioritised action plan your team can execute immediately vs. plan for longer term.

5
Day 14

Readout & Handoff

We present findings to your team and leadership, walk through every recommendation, and hand off all deliverables in editable formats. You own everything.
