Secure Cloud Adoption

Essential governance for cloud infrastructure

Strategic Cloud adoption, secure migrations, and automated governance. Transform your infrastructure with security built in from day one.

A Proven Framework

We use industry-recognized Cloud Adoption Frameworks (CAF) and best practices to guide your journey. Whether you're on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, our process ensures your move is business-aligned, secure, and manageable.

1

Discover & Plan

Before migrating a single workload, we define the why. We assess your digital estate to understand technical debt, dependencies, and business justification.

  • Business Value Assessment: Clear ROI and TCO modeling.
  • Digital Estate Discovery: Inventorying servers, applications, and dependencies to understand your current infrastructure.
  • Skill Readiness: Identifying gaps in your team's Cloud knowledge.

Outcome

  • Defined Cloud Migration Strategy
  • Prioritized Workload Migration Roadmap
  • Verified Migration Backlog (ROI Assessment)
2

Strategy & Roadmap

We build the secure Landing Zone before deploying apps. This encompasses identity, network connectivity, and governance policies.

  • Identity First: Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) or Google Workspace Identity configuration.
  • Network Security: Hub-and-spoke topologies, private endpoints, and firewall rules to protect cloud workloads.
  • Policy & Compliance: Enforcing regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, NIS2) and security baselines via Infrastructure as Code.

Outcome

  • Deployed Secure Landing Zone
  • Established Cloud Governance & Policies
  • Network Security & Access Controls
3

Adopt

The actual move. Whether migrating existing apps (Rehost/Refactor) or building new Cloud-native solutions (Innovate).

  • Productivity & M365 Deployment: Moving email/files to M365 with strict security controls and data loss prevention.
  • Infrastructure Migration: Lifting servers to Azure/AWS or containerizing them for cloud-native deployment.
  • Secure Development Workflows: Establishing CI/CD pipelines with automated security scanning and secret management.

Outcome

  • Migrated Production Workloads
  • Secure CI/CD Pipelines
  • Modernized Application Infrastructure
4

Govern & Manage

Unlike what most people think, the Cloud is not "set and forget". We implement operational baselines to ensure reliability, security, and cost control.

  • FinOps & Cost Management: Regular cost reviews, rightsizing recommendations, and cloud spend optimization.
  • Security Baselines: Continuous monitoring for drift against CIS benchmarks.
  • Operational Health: Patch management and backup verification.

Outcome

  • Continuous Security Monitoring
  • Continuous Cost Optimization (FinOps)
  • Automated Drift Detection & Compliance

What You Get

A secure, production-ready Cloud environment.

Migration Blueprint

Detailed Plan

A detailed technical design document and project schedule, mapping every dependency and risk before we move a single byte of data.

Landing Zone

Infrastructure as Code

Production-ready Terraform or Bicep templates that deploy your secure Cloud foundation (network, identity, policies) automatically and consistently.

Engagement Options

Flexible models to suit your stage of adoption.

Cloud Migration Sprint

A defined project to move specific workloads to Azure/AWS with security baked in from day one.

Cloud Security Assessment

Evaluate your existing cloud environment for security gaps, misconfigurations, and compliance issues.

Fractional Security Architect

Ongoing guidance for your engineering team to ensure new features and infrastructure changes stay secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Cloud platforms do you support?

We support Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, including hybrid environments and multi-cloud architectures. We work with your existing tooling or recommend the right platform components based on your workload, compliance requirements, and budget.

How do you approach cloud security governance?

We implement a "secure by default" landing zone model: pre-configured guardrails using infrastructure as code (IaC), network segmentation, identity and access management baselines, and automated compliance monitoring. You get a defensible Cloud posture from day one rather than retrofitting security later.

What does cloud security have to do with compliance?

A significant portion of modern compliance frameworks directly address cloud risk. ISO 27001:2022 added 11 new controls specifically for cloud security (control 5.23). NIS2 requires securing cloud supply chain relationships. DORA mandates ICT risk management covering cloud dependencies. Our Cloud adoption work is always compliance-aware.

Can you migrate an existing environment, or only greenfield deployments?

Both. We handle greenfield deployments from scratch and migration projects for organizations moving from on-premise to Cloud. For migrations, we perform a Discovery phase to map existing workloads, then sequence the migration in a way that maintains security posture throughout the transition.

Why D3 Cyber?

Security Native

We aren't generalist cloud consultants. We build for security first, performance second.

Cloud Architecture Expertise

We design landing zones that scale with your business while maintaining strong security controls and compliance posture.

Vendor Agnostic

We work with Azure, AWS, and GCP. We recommend what's best for you, not what pays us the highest commission.
