SECURE APPLICATION FOUNDATION
A fixed-scope architecture and implementation engagement for SaaS and technology companies that need a secure, governable AWS or Azure foundation.
We design the security architecture, implement core controls, establish the infrastructure-as-code baseline, and leave a documented environment ready to operate, scale, and withstand security review.
DEFINED ENGAGEMENT
Secure Cloud Application Architecture & Implementation
INVESTMENT
Starting at $15,000
TYPICAL DURATION
4 to 6 weeks
A constrained set of proven patterns—not a blank-sheet consulting exercise.
A defined engagement for teams that need to move from an early environment to a secure operating foundation—without taking on unnecessary enterprise machinery.
SaaS companies preparing to scale
Companies approaching their first meaningful security review
Startups moving from prototype to production
AI-enabled applications handling sensitive data
Teams inheriting an insecure or inconsistent cloud environment
Companies needing security architecture without a full-time security architect
IDENTITY
SSO · MFA · privileged access · service identities · IAM boundaries
APPLICATION
Trust boundaries · API security · secrets · secure configuration · dependency and CI/CD controls
CLOUD
AWS or Azure · network design · workload isolation · encryption · key management · secure storage · Terraform or OpenTofu
OPERATIONS
Logging · monitoring · alerting · vulnerability-management foundations · backup and recovery considerations
ASSURANCE
Control mapping · verification · evidence foundations · architecture documentation · implementation handoff
Requirement → Control → Implementation → Verification → Evidence
Controls are designed into the architecture so they can be implemented, verified, and evidenced as the environment operates.
The engagement leaves your team with architecture decisions, implemented baseline controls, documented handoff material, and clear residual risks.
Architecture diagrams · architecture decision documentation · identity and access model · network and security baseline · Terraform / OpenTofu baseline
CI/CD security controls · logging and monitoring baseline · implementation documentation · security validation results · prioritized residual-risk list · 30-day implementation support period

Final scope and price depend on application complexity, number of cloud environments, identity architecture, data sensitivity, and implementation requirements.
AFTER THE PROJECT
Continue only if ongoing assurance is useful.
Some companies engage Assured Blueprint only for the architecture project. Others continue into the Managed Security Program for ongoing governance, control testing, remediation, and assurance.
