Overview

As cloud adoption expanded, the organization lacked a consistent governance model—creating risk, drift, and compliance gaps across accounts.

Solution

ECIS implemented a scalable AWS landing zone architecture:

  • Designed a multi-account structure aligned to mission boundaries
  • Enforced Service Control Policies (SCPs) for guardrails
  • Integrated centralized logging, monitoring, and audit pipelines
  • Automated baseline configurations using infrastructure-as-code

Impact

  • Eliminated configuration drift across accounts
  • Improved compliance enforcement across environments
  • Enabled secure, scalable cloud adoption

Why It Matters

Cloud governance must be built in from the start.
Without it, scale becomes risk.
