From Policy to Implementation, our Cloud Security Design provides the right architecture, identifies the key risks, implements the right technical/physical/administrative controls, to meet your cyber requirements within your risk posture. Using cloud native, cloud first and hybrid solutions, develop your secure operations by embedding best practises, processes and governance into your service organisation. Support the implementation of the right controls for your cloud solution.

Our team of security professionals can help lead, manage, advise or augment your cyber project to develop solutions to meet your key risks. With experience in utilising ISO27000, NIST, CISA, NCSC frameworks and approaches, our services and capabilities will help you navigate the full delivery of your security change. The key approach when developing a robust Cloud Security Design include

1. Identify and prioritize threats: Understand the current security landscape and identify potential security threats to the organisation's cloud environment.
2. Develop a cloud security strategy: Create a comprehensive cloud security strategy that encompasses all aspects of the organisation's operations, including data storage, access control, authentication, encryption, and monitoring.
3. Establish secure access controls: Implement appropriate access controls to ensure only authorised personnel can gain access to the organization’s cloud environment.
4. Implement authentication and authorisation controls: Use strong authentication methods for user identification and authorisation to access the organizational cloud environment.
5. Leverage encryption technologies: Utilise encryption technologies such as SSL/TLS for data in transit and strong encryption algorithms for data at rest to protect sensitive organisational data from unauthorised access.
6. Monitor the cloud environment: Monitor your cloud environment constantly for any suspicious activities or anomalies using automated tools and services.
7. Perform regular security audits: Perform regular security audits of the organisational cloud environment to ensure it is operating in accordance with established policies and standards.

Key Steps in Implementing your Cloud Security Design

The following key steps outline a standard approach to developing your Cloud Security Design. This simple 7-point process provides a simple approach that would be tailored to each project, but provides a useful guide as tot he key phases in any Cloud Security Design Delivery.

1. Understand the Security Requirements: Understand the security requirements of your organization and any applicable regulations or standards.
2. Identify Cloud Security Threats: Identify potential risks to cloud security and assess the likelihood of them occurring.
3. Develop the Cloud Security Architecture: Including authentication, authorisation, encryption, audit logging, and other measures as necessary.
4. Identify and Implement Access Controls: Multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and identity and access management solutions to protect the cloud environment.
5. Monitor the Solution: Monitor the cloud environment for suspicious activity using tools such as network logs, intrusion detection systems, and data loss prevention systems.
6. Patch Management: updated regularly with the latest security patches and updates.
7. Maintain Security Measures: Through KPIs, regular measurement on security measures to determine progress, correct operation, and refining your response appropriately to changing threats.
