The most common challenges we see with startups and growing businesses today that are running on AWS.

You know how AWS makes it super easy to get started?

A few clicks and you're up and running in the cloud.

But here's the thing – as you keep building, that single AWS account becomes a dumping ground for all your dev, staging, and production workloads.

Before you know it, your nice clean setup turns into a messy tangle of resources that's impossible to manage.

AWS account that holds everything together

Limited isolation and increased blast radius

Without proper account separation, errors or security breaches in one workload can potentially affect all other workloads, increasing the overall risk.

Scalability issues

A single account approach may not scale well as the organization grows, leading to potential service limits and management overhead.

Difficulty in cost and resource management

As organizations grow, tracking costs and managing resources within a single account becomes increasingly complex, making it difficult to identify cost-saving opportunities and efficiently organize resources across teams, applications, and environments.

Security and compliance management

Implementing distinct security policies and meeting compliance requirements becomes increasingly complex within a single account, making it difficult to maintain proper governance across different workloads, environments, and development stages.

Complex IAM configuration

Managing access control for multiple workloads within a single account requires more intricate IAM policies, increasing the risk of overly permissive or restrictive access.

From AWS Chaos to Control: Our Enterprise-Ready Landing Zone

Transform your tangled AWS setup into a secure, compliant multi-account structure without the enterprise overhead

Our landing zone comes with top-tier security built in from the start.

We achieve a perfect 100% score on the industry-standard CIS AWS Foundation Benchmark, and a 96% rating on AWS's own foundational security best practices.

This means you can focus on developing your products and applications, instead of having to manage or maintain aws account configurations as it won't require any extra work on your part*.

*This doesn't apply on resources that you currently have deployed on your AWS account.

After our initial discussion, we move forward by deploying your landing zone and configuring it to meet the custom requirements we talked about.

Step 3 • Timeframe: 1 day

Handover & knowledge transfer session

The final step is our handover session. In this demo, we walk you through what was deployed, showcasing the Security Hub dashboard to confirm compliance. We also explain how the code and pipeline works, ensuring you know exactly how to leverage these tools yourself, and we highlight where to find comprehensive documentation.

Step 4 • Timeframe: Ongoing

Optional: Let us manage it for you

Take your AWS experience to the next level by partnering with us for ongoing management of your landing zone. With our subscription and retainer service, we'll not only maintain and update the environment to keep it current with new features, but we'll also ensure it's continuously improved as we execute our roadmap for the upcoming year.

Plus, you'll have exclusive access to a dedicated Cloud expert for any other cloud-related challenges, from architecture design to troubleshooting. And to accelerate your development, you'll also benefit from our extensive library of CDK constructs, empowering you to build faster and more reliably with infrastructure as code. See our Roadmap for more details.

AWS CDK Landing Zone Packages

We offer our AWS CDK Landing Zone in three types of support packages to fit your organization's needs and budget.

Compliant provides the complete landing zone with essential support for compliance-focused organizations. Startup adds fractional Cloud Engineer support with 16 hours of monthly consultancy and quarterly reviews. Enterprise includes everything with customizable engineering hours, remediation support, and priority feature access.

Standalone Deployment: We can also deploy the landing zone as a one-time implementation without subscription. This gives you all the same core features as the Compliance package, but you'll handle ongoing maintenance, updates, and support yourself.

It's all about speed and security

We setup a secure and compliant AWS landing zone in a few days, using best practice design principles that allows you to build on top of a solid foundation, all using Infrastructure as Code.

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. We achieved a perfect security score in days, not months, and TTC's ongoing support has been invaluable.

Frequently
asked questions

What exactly is the AWS CDK Landing Zone component?
Our AWS CDK Landing Zone is the foundational core of the "AWS Foundation as a Service". It's a well-architected, multi-account AWS environment built using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). It follows AWS best practices for security, compliance, and operations, providing a secure, segregated structure managed entirely through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatability and maintainability.
How is this Landing Zone different from AWS Control Tower?
While AWS Control Tower provides multi-account governance, our CDK Landing Zone offers greater customization, is fully managed via IaC (promoting GitOps), and includes pre-configured security/compliance controls (like GuardDuty Runtume Monitoring, Security Hub standards). Control Tower requires significant manual configuration in the console post-setup to achieve a similar level of compliance and security readiness, whereas our solution aims for production-readiness out-of-the-box.
What AWS accounts are included in the Landing Zone architecture?

Our standard implementation includes a six-account structure:

  1. Management Account: Hosts AWS Organizations, primary billing, and central controls.
  2. Security Account: Centralizes security services like GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM Identity Center.
  3. Log Archive Account: Immutable S3 storage for aggregated CloudTrail and other logs.
  4. Development Account: Sandbox environment for developers.
  5. Staging Account: Pre-production environment for testing releases.
  6. Production Account: Hosts customer-facing applications and services.

This structure can be customized, and additional accounts (e.g., for specific teams or compliance scopes) can be easily provisioned.

Does your Landing Zone solution scale for large organizations?
Yes, the landing zone architecture and its underlying CDK code are designed for scale, supporting potentially hundreds of AWS accounts. We utilize features like AWS Organizations delegated administration and StackSets for efficient, parallel management across accounts.
What technical information do you need to deploy the Landing Zone?
Primarily, we need either access to create a new AWS Organization or administrative access to your existing Management account. We'll also discuss your desired organizational unit (OU) structure, specific compliance needs (e.g., HIPAA, PCI), and any existing accounts you wish to incorporate into the new structure.
How long does the setup of the Landing Zone take?
The core Landing Zone infrastructure deployment via CDK typically completes within 2-3 business days during the initial 1-week onboarding for the full AWS Foundation service. This includes setting up accounts, OUs, central logging, security services, and baseline SCPs.
Will deploying the Landing Zone disrupt our existing AWS workloads?
No. Deployment is non-disruptive. If you have existing accounts, we can carefully integrate them into the new AWS Organization structure without impacting running resources. The security controls are generally additive or detective, not initially restrictive in a way that breaks existing applications.
Can the Landing Zone integrate with our existing AWS setup or Organization?
Yes. We can deploy the Landing Zone patterns into a new AWS Organization or adapt them to integrate with your existing Organization structure. We can import existing AWS accounts under the new management structure, applying the security guardrails and governance policies gradually if needed.
