# Secure AWS architecture for mission-critical services.

We deliver compliant AWS solutions that combine infrastructure automation, secure operations and cloud-native best practice.

## Why AWS

AWS is ideal for organisations that need a mature cloud platform with a broad ecosystem, strong security posture and advanced managed services. AWS offers the widest range of services and the most mature infrastructure for public sector workloads.

**AWS is the preferred cloud platform for UK government digital services** with the largest collection of compliance and security certifications.

## Secure AWS service delivery pattern

We combine AWS managed services with infrastructure automation and operational guardrails, keeping workloads observable, repeatable and ready for production support.

01

### Account strategy

Separate workloads, environments and blast radius with clear ownership.

02

### Secure foundation

IAM, VPC boundaries, secrets, encryption and logging from day one.

03

### Service delivery

Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS and managed data wired through CI/CD.

04

### Operate at scale

CloudWatch, alarms, backup, resilience testing and cost visibility.

## Controlled platform

### Compute

Lambda, ECS and Kubernetes depending on workload shape.

### Data

RDS, DynamoDB, S3, lifecycle rules and backup policies.

### Integration

SQS, EventBridge, API Gateway and asynchronous service boundaries.

### Guardrails

IAM, KMS, VPC controls, CloudWatch and deployment policies.

## AWS services we deliver

### Lambda & Serverless

Event-driven, auto-scaling serverless architecture with minimal operational overhead.

### ECS & Kubernetes
