AWS governance & automation

Control Tower landing zones and account vending your team can actually operate.

Design native-first AWS organizations with repeatable account provisioning, centralized identity and logging, financial controls, policy guardrails, and risk-aware compliance remediation.

Business outcomes

Repeatable account provisioning
Central identity and audit visibility
FinOps and compliance guardrails
AWS-native controls your team owns
Foundation scope

Governance designed into the account lifecycle.

A landing zone is not a one-time template deployment. It is the architecture and operating model for how accounts are created, accessed, connected, monitored, funded and changed.

01

Organization architecture

Management, security, log archive, shared services and workload accounts organized through deliberate OUs and delegated administration.

02

Account vending

Repeatable account provisioning and customization using the right Control Tower path: Account Factory, AFT, AFC blueprints or a governed API workflow.

03

Identity & access

IAM Identity Center, permission sets, emergency access, separation of duties and least-privilege patterns designed for real operating teams.

04

Network & logging

Shared or distributed networking, DNS, egress, centralized CloudTrail, Config, security findings and immutable audit-retention patterns.

05

FinOps guardrails

Cost allocation, budgets, anomaly ownership and carefully scoped actions using IAM policies, SCPs or Systems Manager where appropriate.

06

Compliance automation

Config rules, conformance coverage, Security Hub integration and manual or automatic SSM remediation selected by risk and rollback safety.

Architecture selection

Use the AWS-native path that fits the organization.

We do not force every customer into the most complex implementation. The design accounts for scale, regulation, team capacity, existing accounts and the level of customization required.

Path 01

Control Tower baseline

Organizations that need a governed AWS multi-account foundation with AWS-managed controls and a clear operating model.

Path 02

Account Factory for Terraform

Teams that want GitOps-based account requests and Terraform-driven global or account-specific customizations.

Path 03

Account Factory customization

Teams that prefer Control Tower blueprints and managed account customization without maintaining a separate provisioning pipeline.

Path 04

Landing Zone Accelerator

Regulated or complex estates requiring a broader AWS solution for multi-region networking, security services, logging and configuration pipelines.

Native-first advantage

Control stays in your AWS organization.

For teams that do not require a separate multi-cloud control platform, AWS-native services can provide a transparent and portable governance foundation. Your policies, pipelines, logs and remediation runbooks remain visible to the engineers responsible for operating them.

No separate governance platform is required by default
Infrastructure and policy changes remain reviewable as code
AWS service charges and operating effort remain explicit
Controls can evolve with your organization instead of a fixed package

Questions

AWS governance FAQ

Do you always deploy Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS?

No. LZA is powerful but not automatically the right fit. We select Control Tower, AFT, AFC, LZA or a smaller native design based on scale, regulation, operating capacity and existing AWS structure.

Can existing AWS accounts be moved into the landing zone?

Yes, after discovery and remediation planning. Existing accounts may require identity, logging, networking, policy and baseline changes before enrollment or movement into governed OUs.

Is every compliance finding automatically remediated?

No. Automatic remediation can create production impact and AWS Config can act on periodic compliance snapshots. We use approval, retries, rollback and exception handling according to the risk of each control.

Does native-first mean there are no recurring costs?

No. It means the control plane is built from AWS services and infrastructure as code rather than requiring a separate platform by default. AWS service, logging, security, automation and support costs still apply.
