Secure, scalable Azure foundations—so every workload ships faster and safer

We design & deploy production-ready landing zones with identity, networking, policy, security, and cost guardrails—so your teams stop reinventing the basics and start shipping.

Security & governance by default

Entra ID roles, PIM, Azure Policy baseline, budgets & alerts, private-by-default networking.

Faster app onboarding

Golden patterns & templates so teams deploy safely without waiting on infra tickets.

Predictable spend

Tagging, budgets, policy guardrails, and rightsizing guidance to avoid “bill shock.”

FAQs

What’s the difference between a landing zone and a subscription?

A landing zone is the architecture & guardrails (identity, policy, networking, cost). Subscriptions are the containers where resources live. The landing zone standardizes how subscriptions are created and governed.

Do we need hub/spoke or vWAN?

Most orgs start with hub/spoke. If you have many regions, complex connectivity, or multiple on-prem sites, vWAN can simplify operations. We’ll model both and pick what fits your scale and budget.

Will this slow down our migration?

It accelerates it. With guardrails and paved-road patterns in place, app teams deploy faster and with fewer incidents.

Can you work with our MSP/internal team?

Yes—co-build model. We keep code/policy in your repos, gated by PRs, with clear ownership lines.

Ready to stand up your Azure landing zone?

We’ll assess your tenant and flag the top 3 risks/opportunities—then co-build a secure, scalable foundation.
