Security architecture inside the landing zone

We design the identity, network and guardrail decisions that every workload inherits. This page is architecture, not a posture-assessment or compliance-evidence practice. Those programmes are handled by our sister company Seya Group.

Conceptual architecture

When platform architecture needs attention

  • Over-privileged identities and stagnant access reviews
  • Landing zones without enforceable guardrails
  • Network paths invented per project instead of inherited
  • Inconsistent encryption, secrets, and key management

How we work on this platform

  • Identity and access architecture, including Entra ID patterns
  • Network segmentation and private connectivity as landing-zone decisions
  • Policy-as-code guardrails in the foundation
  • Secrets and key-management patterns the platform teams can reuse

The architecture in context

Conceptual architecture

Conceptual architecture illustrating decision boundaries. It does not represent a client environment.

Architecture, not posture

Identity boundaries, network segmentation and policy guardrails are design decisions made before workloads scale. That is the work on this page.

We do not sell cloud security posture assessments, zero trust programmes, or compliance evidence from this site. For those, we hand you to Seya Group.

Technology decisions in context

  • Microsoft Entra ID
  • AWS IAM
  • Google Cloud IAM
  • Terraform policy and guardrails
  • Azure Monitor / Log Analytics

What the work is intended to enable

  • Clearer identity and privilege boundaries
  • Security controls embedded in platform delivery
  • A landing zone that refuses the default exception
  • A clean hand-off when the reader needs an ongoing security programme

A platform choice is an operating choice

We agree workload acceptance criteria, access ownership, change practices and recovery responsibilities before implementation. Provider services do not remove the need for application testing, cost accountability and an operating team.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers

How do cloud architects reduce infrastructure risk?

By establishing identity boundaries, network segmentation and policy guardrails in the landing zone before scaling workloads — so growth does not amplify unmanaged risk.

#
Is this a security posture or SOC 2 engagement?

No. Those programmes, including CSPM and zero trust, are handled by Seya Group. This page stays on architecture inside the landing zone.

#
Where does disaster recovery sit?

Recovery topologies and RTO/RPO targets are architecture and are described in the published disaster-recovery insight. They are not a substitute for a security operations programme.

#
Who designs Entra External ID?

External-identity architecture is covered in the Entra External ID and Azure AD B2C insights. It is still identity architecture, not a posture assessment.
