We deliver a modular, policy-driven landing zone architecture, including management groups, subscriptions, connectivity (hub & spoke), Azure Firewall, policies, tagging, and backup—all documented and tested for auditability and operational excellence. Workshops and knowledge transfer ensure your team is ready to manage and evolve your Azure environment with confidence.
Why an Azure Landing Zone?
Cloud success requires more than just migration—it needs a secure, scalable, and well-governed foundation. Many organisations struggle with inconsistent deployments, fragmented governance, and manual processes that slow innovation and increase risk. A standard Azure Landing Zone rollout solves these challenges by delivering an automated, best-practice environment with built-in governance, security, and cost control—so you can innovate confidently and scale with ease.
Our Approach
- Analysis & Design: We start by analysing your requirements and current environment, then design a modular, scalable Azure Landing Zone architecture aligned with Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework.
- Automated Deployment: Using DevOps pipelines, we automate the rollout of management groups, subscriptions, networking (hub & spoke), security controls, policies, and tagging—ensuring consistency and speed.
- Built-in Governance: Governance, compliance, and cost management are embedded from day one, with policies, monitoring, and documentation to support auditability and operational excellence.
- Enablement & Handover: We provide workshops and knowledge transfer, empowering your team to manage, evolve, and extend the Landing Zone confidently.
Deliverables
- Landing Zone Design & Architecture Documentation: A comprehensive, best-practice design for your Azure environment, including management groups, subscriptions, networking (hub & spoke), security controls, policies, tagging, and backup. This includes a technical design document and deployment approach.
- Automated Deployment Pipelines: DevOps pipelines for consistent, repeatable, and auditable rollout of the landing zone, ensuring infrastructure as code and version control.
- Governance & Compliance Framework: Implementation of Azure Policies, management groups, and governance rules to enforce tagging, naming conventions, and compliance requirements (e.g., BIO, GDPR), with documentation for auditability.
- Identity & Access Management: Integration with Azure AD, RBAC, and Conditional Access, ensuring secure and compliant access for users and workloads.
- Network & Connectivity Setup: Hub & Spoke network topology, VPN/ExpressRoute configuration, and secure connectivity to on-premises and cloud resources.

- Operational Runbook & Handover: Clear operational documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer sessions to empower your team to manage and evolve the landing zone independently.
- Workshops & Knowledge Transfer: Collaborative sessions to ensure your team understands the architecture, deployment process, and governance model, supporting long-term success.
