Know exactly where your AWS environment stands.
A scoped engagement that reviews your AWS workloads against the Well-Architected Framework. Architecture, security, cost, and operational readiness assessed together. You receive prioritised findings and clear next steps, not a raw list of issues.
What you get
Architecture Review
Your workload design assessed against AWS best practices. Resilience, scalability, and single points of failure identified and documented.
Security Assessment
IAM policies, data controls, network posture, and account governance reviewed. Findings ranked by severity.
Cost Analysis
Unused resources, over-provisioned services, and savings plan gaps surfaced. Estimates attached to each finding.
Operational Readiness
Monitoring, alerting, deployment pipelines, and runbooks reviewed. Gaps that increase operational risk flagged.
Compliance Posture
Controls mapped against ISO 27001 and CPS 234 where applicable. Gaps documented with remediation guidance.
Prioritised Recommendations
All findings ranked by risk and effort. You leave with a report you can act on immediately, not a list to interpret.
Scoped assessment. Documented findings. Actionable recommendations.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Discovery and Review engagement?
A structured assessment of your AWS workloads against the Well-Architected Framework, covering architecture, security, cost, operations, and compliance. You receive prioritised findings with remediation guidance.
How long does it take?
Typically two to four weeks from scoping to readout, depending on the number of workloads in scope. We confirm the timeline in the initial session.
Do you need access to our AWS accounts?
Yes. Read-only access via a least-privilege IAM role. We agree access boundaries with your team before the assessment starts.
What frameworks do you assess against?
The AWS Well-Architected Framework across all six pillars. Findings are also mapped against ISO 27001 and CPS 234 where relevant.
What do we get at the end?
A written findings report, risk and effort matrix, remediation guidance, a prioritised action plan, and a readout session with your team.
Can you do the remediation too?
Yes. Remediation can be scoped as a follow-on engagement or run as part of our DevOps as a Service. We discuss the options at the readout.
