What Happens Without a Foundation

AWS starts out simple, but as you scale, infrastructure just evolves. Environments get mixed together, resources scatter without clear ownership, and you lose visibility. Vulnerabilities slip through, and the AWS bill keeps climbing. Here's how it typically unfolds:

Day 1 - Month 6

The Honeymoon Phase

You start with a single AWS account. It's easy. You deploy manually, click around the console, and everything just works. Speed is the only metric that matters.

Month 6 - Year 1

The Silent Sprawl

New developers join. New environments are spun up. Production and staging environments blur together. Resources multiply without clear ownership. IAM policies accumulate exceptions. The bill starts creeping up.

Year 1+

The Complexity Wall

Suddenly, you're blocked. Security findings pile up in backlogs. You can't pass a compliance audit. You're afraid to deploy because things break. Your cloud bill is now a board-level concern. You're not building anymore, you're patching leaks.

✨ The Good News

This pattern is 100% preventable. We've helped dozens of teams escape the complexity wall and you can too.

See How We Break the Cycle ↓

We take ownership of the underlying complexity that holds you back from shipping

We break the cycle of technical debt by providing the managed foundation you need. We take full ownership of your AWS environment, so your team can stop firefighting and start shipping again.

The Cost of Doing Nothing vs. Partnering With Us

Every month without a proper foundation costs you in security risks, wasted spend, and engineering hours. Here's what changes when you partner with us.

Keeping the status quo without properly building a foundation on AWS

No visibility what happens across your AWS accounts
3-6 months to set up a compliant AWS foundation
20-40% wasted AWS spend on orphaned resources
Audit failures, security gaps, and compliance debt
Engineering time lost to managing AWS multi-account complexity
No clear path to scale securely as your team grows

What Changes When You Partner With Us

We build your AWS multi-account setup, configure security guardrails, and continuously maintain and evolve your foundation, proactively adding new features so your infrastructure grows with your business.

Cut AWS Spend by 20-30%

We don't just advise; we actively reclaim budget. Our quarterly audits identify and eliminate waste like orphaned volumes, over-provisioned instances, and idle resources to directly impact your bottom line. See how we optimize your AWS costs.

Audit-Ready in Days

Automated provisioning ensures every new account lands with built-in guardrails and immediate compliance.

You launch with a pre-validated foundation that maps 96%+ to CIS AWS Foundation Benchmark and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices.

We handle the heavy lifting for
SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS
infrastructure controls, cutting months off your audit timeline.

Continuous Compliance & Governance

Automated guardrails prevent non-compliant deployments and remediate drift before it becomes an incident.

For deeper risks, we perform quarterly security reviews to catch what automation misses and guide remediation.

Extension of Your Engineering Team

We act as an extension of your team, providing expert guidance on VPC design, IAM, disaster recovery, and observability and more.

Your developers make faster decisions without needing a dedicated platform hire.

Deploy new infrastructure in Hours, Not Weeks

Stop reinventing the wheel. Your team gets a library of production-ready IaC modules for serverless, containers, and data pipelines and more. What typically takes weeks of research and iteration now ships in hours.

Zero-Ops Overhead

We function as your dedicated Platform Engineering team.

We build, maintain, and upgrade the landing zone, freeing your engineers to focus 100% on shipping revenue-generating features. Check out our roadmap to see what's coming.

I had a fantastic experience with the service provided by Towards the Cloud. I had previously built my infrastructure using the AWS GUI and CloudFormation, but it had become outdated and difficult to maintain over time. Danny expertly evaluated my existing stack and completely redesigned it following AWS best practices. He implemented a modern multi-account architecture with separate environments for production and development, which has greatly improved our security posture and deployment workflow. Danny built everything using CDK in TypeScript and set up a GitHub CI/CD pipeline. The entire infrastructure is now defined as code, making it incredibly simple to maintain. Everything stays up-to-date automatically through the pipeline, eliminating the manual work and potential errors from my previous setup. I highly recommend Towards the Cloud for anyone looking to migrate or modernize their AWS environment!

"We achieved a perfect security score in days, not months."

Before Towards the Cloud, we received a variety of proposals to provision our AWS landing zone. Danny's solution and AWS expertise stood out with comprehensive accelerators, documentation, and clearly articulated design principles. TTC's ongoing support has been invaluable.

Standalone Landing Zone Deployment

We also offer the AWS Landing Zone as a one-time deployment. This allows you to manage the infrastructure yourself, but excludes the monthly retainer, landing zone management & updates, and quarterly security & cost reviews.

Frequently
asked questions

Is this right for my company?

If you're a startup or growth-stage company that needs enterprise-grade security and compliance without hiring a full platform department, then yes. We help you meet customer and auditor expectations while letting your product teams ship faster. Most of our clients have 10-200 engineers and $50k+ in annual AWS spend.

Will this help us pass SOC 2 / HIPAA audits?

From a technical standpoint, yes. We ensure your AWS foundation layer (organization structure, accounts, networking, and security services) is fully compliant. Every Landing Zone includes GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, centralized CloudTrail, IAM Identity Center, network guardrails, encryption defaults, and Service Control Policies aligned with SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements.

Note: existing workload infrastructure may require refactoring or modernization to achieve full compliance, which follows a separate engagement. Additionally, SOC 2 and HIPAA also validate your organizational processes. We focus purely on the technical infrastructure controls, not policy documentation or process compliance.

How quickly can you get my team up and running?

We start with a brief assessment to gather your requirements and determine if any existing accounts need migration. Once we kick off the build, your Landing Zone is up and running within 48 hours. After deployment, we schedule a knowledge transfer session with your team and connect via Slack or Teams for ongoing support. From there, we manage and maintain your foundation based on your selected package, whether that's a monthly retainer, proactive security reviews, cost optimization audits, or all of the above.

What if we want to leave, are we locked in?

No. Everything is delivered in plain AWS CDK, an AWS-supported open-source framework. Any AWS engineer can pick up the code, and you retain full ownership. Cancel with 30 days' notice—your infrastructure and documentation remain yours.

Why should I choose you over hiring an in-house platform engineer?

A senior platform engineer costs $150K+/year—if you can even find one. With us, you get a full team's worth of AWS expertise for a fraction of the cost, plus a production-ready Landing Zone we've refined across dozens of deployments. No ramp-up time, no single point of failure, and your foundation is production-ready in days, not months.

We already have AWS infrastructure, can you work with what we have?

Yes. We attach our Landing Zone to your current organization, migrate accounts without downtime, and roll out guardrails gradually. Developers keep building with the tools they know while we upskill them on CDK, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD best practices so the platform scales with confidence.
