Cloud Security Strategy & Architecture
Moving to the cloud does not automatically make you more secure. It introduces new attack surfaces — misconfigured IAM policies, exposed storage buckets, shared responsibility gaps. Cloud security strategy ensures your architecture is built with security baked in from day one, not bolted on after deployment.
What Is Cloud Security Strategy?
Cloud security strategy is the architectural and governance framework that ensures your cloud environment is designed, configured, and operated securely. It covers landing zone design, identity and access management, network segmentation, data protection, and compliance requirements specific to cloud platforms.
We work across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Each platform has its own security model, native controls, and common pitfalls. We help you build a security architecture that uses cloud-native controls effectively while maintaining consistent governance across multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
What’s Covered
Cloud security architecture components.
Landing Zone Design
Secure foundation architecture for new cloud deployments. Account/subscription structure, network topology, baseline security controls, and governance guardrails. Start secure, stay secure.
IAM Strategy
Identity and access management architecture. Least privilege principles, role design, federation, service accounts, and credential management. IAM misconfiguration is the number one cloud risk — we fix it.
Network Segmentation
VPC design, security groups, network policies, and traffic routing. Segmentation that isolates workloads, restricts lateral movement, and enforces the principle of least connectivity.
Data Protection
Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, data classification for cloud workloads, and backup/recovery procedures. Protecting data that lives outside your physical control.
Compliance in Cloud
Mapping cloud controls to compliance requirements — ISO 27001, PCI DSS, MAS TRM, PDPA. Evidence collection, audit support, and continuous compliance monitoring.
Security Monitoring
Cloud-native security logging, detection rules, and response procedures. CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Audit Logs. Visibility into what is happening in your cloud environment.
Our Approach
From assessment to secure architecture.
Cloud Assessment
Review of your current cloud environment (or planned architecture). Identify misconfigurations, exposed resources, overly permissive access, and shared responsibility gaps.
Architecture Design
Secure landing zone or target architecture. IAM hierarchy, network design, encryption strategy, and monitoring requirements. Documented with diagrams and implementation guidance.
Implementation Support
Hands-on support deploying the security architecture. Infrastructure-as-code templates, policy configurations, and validation testing. We build alongside your team.
Validation & Hardening
Security assessment of the deployed environment. Penetration testing of cloud-native services, configuration review, and compliance validation. Catch issues before production.
Why Bravix Cloud Security Strategy?
Offensive Cloud Testing
We do not just design architectures — we attack them. Our cloud pentesters validate every recommendation against real-world attack techniques. Design decisions backed by exploit evidence.
Multi-Cloud Expertise
AWS, Azure, GCP. We do not push a single platform. We secure the architecture you are using, or help you evaluate platforms based on your security requirements.
Shared Responsibility Clarity
We map exactly which security controls are your responsibility and which belong to the cloud provider. No gaps, no assumptions, no finger-pointing after an incident.
Infrastructure as Code
All architecture delivered as IaC templates (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep). Reproducible, auditable, version-controlled. Security built into the deployment pipeline.
Secure Your Cloud Architecture
Build your cloud environment with security from day one. Architecture designed by security practitioners, validated by offensive testing.
