Network boundaries
Separate environments, restrict routes and make private connectivity the default for sensitive services.
Cloud security UK
Cloud security and governance that regulators and boards demand.
G&J Warrington Infrastructure designs secure Azure, AWS and hybrid estates with clear controls, strong evidence and practical governance. Your teams can move quickly while UK GDPR, FCA-conscious practice and public-sector expectations stay visible.
Security starts with structure.

01 / Foundation
Landing zones: the right start
A landing zone gives every workload a safe place to run. We set the boundaries before migration begins, so networking, identity, logging, policy and budgets work together.
Good foundations remove guesswork.
Plan the migration around controlIdentity model
Create the roles, groups and subscription structure needed for clear ownership across Azure and AWS.
Budget visibility
Tag workloads, set spending alerts and assign costs to the teams responsible for them.
Built-in evidence
Capture the decisions and controls that auditors need while the estate is still being shaped.
02 / Identity
Who can access what? We make it clear.
Access should match a person’s role, device and reason for entry. G&J Warrington Infrastructure maps permissions to business duties and removes standing privilege where it creates unnecessary risk.
Least privilege is practical.
Role-based access controlKeep production, development and security duties separate.
Just-in-time privilegeGrant elevated access for a defined task and time window.
Multi-factor authenticationRequire a second factor for administrators and sensitive applications.
Conditional accessUse location, device health and risk signals to make access decisions.
03 / Control
Policies that prevent problems
Automated checks stop unsafe changes before they become incidents. Dashboards then show where action is needed and why.
Control should be visible.
Prevent drift
Enforce encryption, approved regions, private networking and mandatory tags across every account.
Azure Policy / AWS ConfigMap compliance
Relate technical controls to UK GDPR, FCA-conscious practice, NHS expectations and ISO 27001.
Clear ownershipCollect evidence
Keep reports, exceptions and remediation records ready for internal reviews and regulator requests.

04 / Resilience
Data protection as a default
We set encryption, backup and recovery controls around the data your organisation must protect. Immutable copies help limit ransomware impact, while tested recovery plans turn assumptions into measured results.
Backups need testing.
- Encryption at rest and in transit across supported services.
- Backup schedules tied to service criticality and retention rules.
- Disaster recovery exercises measured against agreed RPO and RTO targets.
05 / Multi-cloud
One governance model, many clouds
Azure, AWS and on-premises platforms can follow the same operating rules. Central logging, federated identity and shared tagging make the estate easier to manage.
Different platforms. Shared standards.
Azure governance
Management groups, subscriptions and policy assignments with clear owners.
AWS governance
Organisations, accounts, guardrails and logging aligned to AWS practice.
Unified visibility
Central monitoring helps teams spot access, configuration and service changes.
Cost controls
Common tagging standards connect spend to products, teams and environments.
06 / Assurance
Pass your next audit with confidence
Audit preparation starts during daily operations. We organise policies, logs, exceptions and ownership so evidence is available when a reviewer asks for it.
Evidence should be on hand.
UK GDPR
FCA-conscious
Cyber Essentials
ISO 27001
Audit evidence checklist
Access reviews have a named owner and date.
Policy exceptions include reason, expiry and approval.
Backup and recovery tests show measured outcomes.
Logs can be traced to systems and responsible teams.
Remediation work is tracked through to closure.
We can support regulator conversations and turn findings into a prioritised improvement plan.
Security posture review
Your regulators won't wait. Neither should you.
Start with a read-only assessment of your cloud controls. We will identify material gaps, explain the evidence behind them and outline the next sensible steps.
A measured first step for UK organisations.
