CLOUD FOUNDATIONS

{{The secure foundation for everything that follows}}

We raise the load-bearing pillars of your cloud: identity and access, network, governance and a solid security baseline, aligned to WAF and CAF. New projects start on a compliant, secure foundation that holds from the very first day.

THE SERVICE

The foundation of your cloud

We establish identity, network, governance and security as a solid base, so new projects start {{compliant and secure}}.

General
Deep dive
1

Identity & access

Central identities and roles govern every access traceably and securely.

Entra ID, RBAC, MFA, conditional access, PIM, least privilege

2

Network base

A well-considered base network connects services securely and separates sensitive areas.

Hub-spoke, VNet, NSG, private endpoints, DNS, ExpressRoute/VPN

3

Governance baseline

One uniform rulebook creates structure, transparency and compliance.

Azure Policy, management groups, tagging, blueprints, subscription design, compliance

4

Security baseline

Fundamental safeguards protect the environment from the very first service.

Defender for Cloud, encryption, Key Vault, logging, threat protection, baseline controls

5

Cost & transparency

Budgets and reporting keep cloud spending under control from the start.

Cost management, budgets, tagging, cost centres, anomaly alerts, reporting

6

Framework alignment

We align the foundation with proven frameworks, for dependability and traceability.

Well-Architected Framework, Cloud Adoption Framework, reference architecture, maturity model, design principles

OUR APPROACH

Cloud foundations in five steps

1

Analysis

We capture requirements, current state and the fitting framework alignment.

1

Analysis

We capture your requirements, the current state of existing environments and the fitting target platform. To the Well-Architected Framework and Cloud Adoption Framework we align the future foundation from the start.

You receive an agreed requirements profile that determines the shape of every pillar. This profile forms the basis for the design that follows.

2

Design

We design reference architecture, subscription design and naming conventions.

2

Design

We design the reference architecture with subscription design, management groups plus naming and tagging standards. Structure and segmentation we lay out to suit your organisation.

You receive a solid blueprint by which environments can be built consistently. On this template the technical build-out rests.

Build-out

We set up identity and network as the load-bearing foundation.

3

Build-out

We set up identity and access through Entra ID, RBAC, MFA and conditional access and build the network base as hub-spoke with VNet, NSG and private endpoints. Delivery runs through infrastructure as code, so it stays repeatable.

Your cloud has a viable frame of governed access and a secure network. On this frame we then anchor the guardrails.

Safeguarding

We anchor governance, security baseline and cost transparency.

4

Safeguarding

We anchor the governance baseline through Azure Policy and blueprints and the security baseline through Defender for Cloud, Key Vault and logging. Budgets, tagging and cost management create cost transparency at the same time.

Your environment is protected, governed and traceable on cost from the very first service. This safeguarded state passes into orderly operation.

Handover

We hand the foundation over as a repeatable, operations-ready pattern.

Handover

We hand the foundation over as a repeatable pattern including landing zone vending, documentation and runbooks. Roles, approval routes and reports we agree with your teams.

New projects from now on start to the same proven pattern on a compliant foundation. Your teams run and extend the environment on their own.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why {{thinformatics}}

Foundation to standard

Built to WAF and CAF instead of structures grown by chance.

Security from the start

Identity, network and baseline are anchored from day one.

Compliant from the off

Guardrails make sure new projects begin compliant.

A repeatable build

Automation makes the foundation traceable and reproducible.

A base that extends

The foundation carries further workloads, teams and environments.

Handed over documented

Your teams receive a solid basis plus the operational know-how.

Frequently asked {{questions}}

FAQ

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about cloud foundations.

What does cloud foundations achieve for your cloud?
Cloud foundations raises the load-bearing pillars of your cloud: identity and access, network, governance and a solid security baseline. Aligned to proven frameworks, a compliant and secure foundation arises on which new projects start dependably. Instead of safeguarding every initiative individually, we create one shared basis that holds and settles the recurring decisions on security, structure and steering consistently from the outset.
Which building blocks make up a cloud foundation?
A viable foundation covers four pillars: identity and access govern who may do what; the network provides secure connections and segmentation; governance anchors policies, structure and cost transparency; the security baseline sets secure defaults for every service. These building blocks mesh, so your cloud is clear, controlled and protected from the start. Together we determine how each pillar suits your requirements and your target platform.
What role do WAF and CAF play for the foundation?
WAF (Well-Architected Framework) and CAF (Cloud Adoption Framework) serve as proven guardrails for building and running your cloud. They provide tested principles for security, reliability, operation and structure, and we align your foundation with them. That creates an environment that follows recognised standards and is reasoned traceably. The concrete requirements of your organisation we work into this reference model rather than adopting it unchanged.
How do new projects benefit from a solid foundation?
New projects start on a compliant, secure foundation that holds from the outset. Identity, network and security are already governed, so teams concentrate on their application instead of settling every basic question anew. That speeds the start up, provides consistent security across every initiative and makes results repeatable. New environments can be provisioned dependably to the same proven pattern.
How does cloud foundations fit into operations and governance?
We align the foundation with your existing roles, processes and requirements and anchor policies where your environment is managed. Ownership, approval routes and reports we agree with your teams, so the build and daily operation mesh. The cloud therefore stays governed and traceable day to day. Concrete compliance and sovereignty requirements we examine individually in each context, without making blanket promises.
