AWS architecture assessment
AWS Well-Architected Review with a practical remediation roadmap
Find security risks, reliability gaps, cloud waste, and operational weaknesses before they become expensive incidents. Receive prioritized findings your team can execute.
Six-pillar assessment scope
Turn architecture findings into an executable risk roadmap.
A useful review connects AWS evidence, workload context, business impact, and remediation ownership. The result should help leaders decide what must change now, what can wait, and who owns the next step.

Delivery sequence
A controlled path from evidence to implementation.
Review
Assess architecture decisions against the six AWS Well-Architected pillars.
Prioritize
Rank findings by severity, business impact, effort, dependencies, and reversibility.
Remediate
Support approved improvements and validate that the intended risk reduction was achieved.
Operational Excellence
Review deployment, observability, change management, runbooks, and operational ownership.
Security
Assess identity, detection, infrastructure protection, data protection, and incident readiness.
Reliability
Evaluate failure recovery, scaling, backups, dependencies, and resilience expectations.
Performance Efficiency
Check architecture choices, resource selection, scaling patterns, and performance visibility.
Cost Optimization
Identify waste, right-sizing opportunities, commitment strategy, and cost accountability gaps.
Sustainability
Review resource efficiency, utilization, data patterns, and opportunities to reduce unnecessary consumption.
What You Receive
More than an automated checklist

AWS Well-Architected review FAQ
What is an AWS Well-Architected review?
It is a structured assessment of an AWS workload against the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability.
Will you need write access to our AWS account?
The discovery phase can be performed with scoped, read-only access. Any remediation work is separately agreed and uses the minimum permissions needed for the approved changes.
Do we receive an actionable report?
Yes. Findings are prioritized by risk, impact, and effort, with practical remediation guidance and a phased roadmap rather than an unranked checklist.
Can ARCO implement the recommendations?
Yes. ARCO can support remediation across IAM, logging, networking, backups, cost controls, monitoring, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and reliability improvements.
