A move to the cloud run so you do not carry old security problems along the way — or create new ones.
The migration deadline stays, and the target state is not a stopgap.
This is the starting point in many companies that ship fast and are regulated.
A migration is judged by the deadline and by whether the application came up. Security enters after the fact, when the environment is already running and every change means downtime. Permissions granted "for the migration" stay forever, and a configuration born of haste becomes the target state.
We define the scope after an assessment — starting with the element that lowers your risk fastest.
A migration is the cheapest moment to clean up.
We start by reviewing the starting state — what you are moving, what should stay in place, and what is worth switching off along the way, because moving dead systems costs twice. We design the target environment as code: the split into zones, identities, network and access are created before the first resource, not after it. During the migration we work side by side with your team or provider and guard the security layer that is usually left for last. After the move we revoke temporary permissions and lock in the configuration, so a state born of haste does not become the target.
Each stage leaves you with a concrete result, not meeting notes.

Implementation ends with working configuration and evidence, not a report full of recommendations. Here is an example.
{
"Effect": "Deny",
"NotAction": ["iam:*", "organizations:*", "sts:*"],
"Resource": "*",
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"aws:RequestedRegion": ["eu-central-1", "eu-west-1"]
}
}
}No resource can be created outside the agreed EU regions — not even by mistake.
| System | Decision |
|---|---|
| client-facing application | move to a private network |
| old reporting panel | switch off |
| file server | stays, decide after the move |
Dead systems are not moved at double the cost.
The post-migration state is verified, not assumed.
Illustration. We choose scope and tools after the assessment.
We define the scope after a call and an assessment. Smaller engagements close in a few weeks; larger ones we split into stages, so the result is visible after the first.
Usually not to all of it. In most cases access to the build pipeline configuration and organization settings is enough. We define the scope in writing before we start.
Yes, but not full time. We need contact with someone who knows the system, and a review of our changes. The rest is on us.
We plug into what already works for you. Replacing a tool is the most expensive and least often necessary way to improve security.
No. We work with standards and tools your team knows or will quickly learn — not a proprietary method only we understand. Everything is documented and handed over.
We wire controls so they run in the background. If one starts blocking work, we tune it or move it to a different point in the process.
