Discover
Establish current state, evidence, constraints, and the business outcome that matters.
Google Cloud Foundation
Secure GCP landing zones for governed, scalable cloud adoption
Establish organization, folder, project, identity, networking, logging, encryption, policy, and security foundations before cloud growth turns into operational risk.
Engineering scope
Connect the assessment to a platform your team can operate.
We organize discovery, architecture decisions, implementation, and ownership into one controlled delivery path—so the result is useful after the engagement ends.
Scope to execution
01
Resource hierarchy: Design organizations, folders, projects, environments, billing boundaries, and ownership.
02
Identity & access: Implement groups, service accounts, least privilege, workload identity, and privileged-access patterns.
03
Network foundation: Build Shared VPC, subnet, firewall, DNS, egress, private access, and hybrid connectivity patterns.
04
Security controls: Configure organization policies, Security Command Center, encryption, secrets, and exposure controls.
05
Central visibility: Establish audit logging, monitoring, alerting, retention, export, and security investigation workflows.
06
Terraform delivery: Make foundation changes repeatable through reviewed infrastructure-as-code modules and pipelines.
Business value
What improves after the work is delivered.
01
Current-state assessment
02
Prioritized risk and opportunity register
03
Architecture and implementation recommendations
04
30-, 60-, and 90-day roadmap
Best fit
Built for teams with a real operating constraint.
Teams with a defined cloud priority but limited senior capacity
Organizations that need assessment and implementation from one accountable partner
Engineering leaders who need risk, cost, and delivery tradeoffs made explicit
Cloud owners who want documentation and knowledge transfer built into delivery
Delivery sequence
A controlled path from evidence to implementation.
Design
Define the target architecture, controls, delivery plan, and ownership model.
Implement
Deliver approved changes with testing, visibility, and rollback planning.
Transfer
Document the operating model, validate outcomes, and hand over a prioritized next-step roadmap.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about scope, implementation, and how the engagement works.
What is a GCP landing zone?
A GCP landing zone is the governed cloud foundation for resource hierarchy, identity, networking, security, logging, billing, and repeatable project provisioning.
Can this support compliance-sensitive workloads?
Yes. Controls can be designed around the workload and applicable requirements, while recognizing that cloud configuration is only one part of organizational compliance.
Can you improve an existing GCP organization?
Yes. ARCO can assess and progressively remediate an existing environment without requiring a disruptive rebuild.
Do you use Terraform?
Yes. Terraform can be used for repeatable foundation delivery, policy, networking, project provisioning, and controlled change.
