Service · Cloud Strategy & Architecture

Cloud architecture that survives contact with the org chart.

Multi-cloud strategy, target operating models, and reference architectures built for regulated environments — designed to match production reality, not a slide deck.

The challenge

A strategy on paper. A different reality in production.

Most cloud strategies don't fail at the whiteboard. They fail in the eighteen months afterwards, when ambition meets the org chart, the budget, and the audit.

Cloud strategy drifts from board ambition within 12 months.The deck gets signed off, then teams quietly do what's easiest. By the next board cycle, the estate and the strategy no longer recognise each other.
Architecture diagrams that don't match what's actually running.Documentation describes an intended state. Production is a decade of decisions nobody fully owns — and that gap is where incidents and audit findings live.
Multi-cloud "strategy" that's really vendor sprawl.Three providers, no clear rationale for what runs where, and no operating model to govern any of it. Cost and risk both compound.
What we deliver

Strategy you can operate — not just present.

We design the strategy, the landing zones, and the operating model together, so the decisions hold once delivery teams take over.

Multi-cloud strategy & landing zones

Provider placement with a clear rationale, plus secure-by-default landing zones aligned to Azure CAF, AWS Well-Architected, and GCP frameworks.

Reference architectures for regulated workloads

Patterns that bake in NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 controls from the start — so compliance is a property of the design, not a later retrofit.

Target operating model design

Who runs what, with which guardrails. Clear ownership, policy-as-code boundaries, and a governance model that survives team changes.

How we work

A fixed-scope path from ambition to operating reality.

Every engagement moves through the same four stages — scoped up front, with senior people on the work end to end.

01

Discovery

1–2 weeks

We map the current estate, the board's ambition, and the gap between them — including what's really running, not just what's documented.

02

Design

2–4 weeks

Strategy, landing zones, reference architectures, and the operating model — designed together so they reinforce rather than contradict each other.

03

Deliver

Varies

We stand up the foundations and prove the patterns with a real workload, so teams inherit something that works — not a reference binder.

04

Govern

Handover & ongoing

Documentation, guardrails, and a governance cadence handed to your team — with optional managed support if you want us to stay close.

Who this is for

Regulated organisations where the architecture has to hold up.

Cloud strategy is our most universal engagement — but it matters most where a regulator, an auditor, or a board is watching the outcome.

Financial Services

Operational-resilience obligations and tight change control demand architecture that's defensible under scrutiny.

DORANIS2ISO 27001

Public Sector

Sovereignty, transparency, and procurement constraints shape what good architecture looks like in government.

NIS2GDPR

Healthcare

Sensitive data and continuity-of-care obligations raise the bar on resilience and access governance.

Telco & Critical Infrastructure

Scale, availability, and essential-service designation make the operating model as important as the architecture.

Why us

Secure by design. AI-native and fast. Human-reviewed.

The three pillars aren't a tagline — they're how a cloud-strategy engagement actually runs.

🔐 Secure by Design

Controls built into the blueprint

Landing zones and reference architectures ship with NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 controls already mapped — security is a starting condition, not a remediation backlog.

⚡ AI-Native & Fast

Weeks, not quarters

We use AI to accelerate estate discovery, pattern generation, and documentation — compressing months of analysis into a fixed-scope engagement.

👁️ Human-Reviewed

Senior delivery, every line

The architect who scopes the work delivers it. Every output is reviewed by a senior practitioner — never junior staff with a logo, never raw AI output.
