Cloud Audit
Know exactly where your cloud estate stands, and what to fix first.
An independent audit of your Cloudflare, Azure and AWS environments, assessed against Well-Architected principles, with the highest-priority gaps named and a roadmap you can act on.
What it is
Cloud estates grow organically. Teams spin up services, configurations drift, costs creep, and a setup that made sense two years ago quietly stops being right. We give you an honest, independent view of where your estate stands today across Cloudflare, Azure and AWS, assessed against cloud Well-Architected principles, with a prioritised set of fixes.
The audit is powered by our own tooling, which reads your live configuration and checks it against a codified set of good-practice rules. That means broad coverage in a short engagement, findings grounded in your actual estate rather than a sample, and a repeatable, defensible assessment rather than one person's opinion.
Who it's for
CTOs, Heads of Infrastructure, Heads of Security and CISOs running services on Cloudflare, Azure or AWS, or a mix of the three. Particularly useful where the estate has grown across teams, where cost or security exposure is rising, or where you suspect things have drifted from good practice but lack an independent view.
What we look at
Over one to two weeks we assess your estate against the five Well-Architected pillars:
- Security — identity and access, network and edge protection, workload and data security
- Reliability — resilience, backup posture, and how the estate holds up under pressure
- Performance efficiency — scaling, configuration, and where performance is being left on the table
- Cost optimisation — where spend is going and where it is being wasted
- Operational excellence — logging, monitoring, alerting and good-practice compliance
Our tooling does the heavy lifting on configuration analysis; our specialists interpret the findings and set the priorities.
What you walk away with
-
A Cloud Audit report — current state across every area and Well-Architected pillar, with findings rated by severity and impact
- A gap analysis showing the risk each gap creates
- Prioritised recommendations, with enough detail to act on independently
- A roadmap sequencing what to fix first and how CDS can help
- Fixed-scope, fixed-price, and yours to keep.
Why CDS
We build, secure and run cloud services at national scale, across Cloudflare, Azure and AWS, in environments where failure isn't an option. The audit draws on that production experience and on our own internal tooling, refined delivering high-quality configuration for clients faster and more safely than a from-scratch approach. We follow the evidence to the right recommendation, and there's no built-in upsell: the audit is yours to act on, with us or without us.
