Production cloud environments accumulate technical debt. Configurations made under time pressure, architectural decisions taken without full context, security settings left at defaults — over time, these become risks, performance constraints, and unnecessary costs.
The Cloud Architecture Audit is a focused, expert-led technical review of your cloud environment. We examine your infrastructure architecture, network design, identity and access configuration, data management practices, and operational setup — and produce a clear, prioritised findings report.
Unlike automated scanning tools alone, our audit combines tooling with senior architect judgment. We distinguish between findings that are theoretically non-compliant but practically low-risk and findings that require immediate attention — and we tell you the difference.
What You Get
How We Work
Scope Definition
We agree on which services, accounts, and workloads are in scope for the audit.
Architecture Review
We review existing architecture documentation and conduct our own environment discovery.
Technical Assessment
We perform a structured assessment across all audit dimensions using both automated tooling and expert review.
Findings Analysis
We triage and prioritise all findings by severity, exploitability, and remediation effort.
Report Delivery
We deliver the findings report and walk your technical team through each finding and recommended remediation.
How Engagements Work
We believe in transparency about process even when price is agreed in conversation.
Fixed-fee, defined scope
Every engagement begins with a scoped proposal — a clear statement of what will be delivered, by when, and for a fixed fee. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Right-sized for mid-market
Our engagements are designed for organisations that need genuine expertise but are not running enterprise procurement cycles. Senior-level delivery without enterprise-level overhead.
Outcomes, not outputs
We define success in business terms before work begins — not in deliverables, but in the specific outcome those deliverables are meant to achieve.
Cloud misconfigurations are not sophisticated attacks. They are preventable design decisions that accumulate over time. An architecture audit finds them before an attacker does.
Ready for a scoped proposal?
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. We scope it, you decide — no obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. An architecture audit reviews configuration and design — not active exploitation. If you need penetration testing, we can recommend a specialist firm.
Yes. We regularly audit AWS Organizations and Azure Management Group structures with multiple accounts.
The audit deliverable is the findings and recommendations. Remediation can be scoped as a separate engagement.
