Know what to fix first.
A focused AWS review for product teams that need a clear view of cost, reliability, security, scale and operational risk before committing to a larger engagement. We use the AWS Well-Architected Framework where it helps, but the output is practical: prioritised findings, clear next steps and a roadmap your team can act on.

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.

How it works
Four phases, fixed scope, clear output at each stage. Start small, prove value, then decide what happens next.
Discover
Scoping session to agree workloads in scope, access requirements, assessment criteria and timeline.
Assess
Architecture, security, cost, operations and compliance reviewed against the Well-Architected Framework and your stated goals.
Report
Findings documented with risk level, effort estimate and remediation guidance for each issue.
Recommend
Readout session with your team. Prioritised action plan handed over. Remediation, platform engineering or managed coverage can be scoped as the next step.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Focused AWS Review?
A scoped review for SaaS, ISV and regulated software teams, 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, platform engineering support or managed coverage. We discuss the options at the readout.
