AWS Landing Zone Assessments
Ensure your AWS Landing Zone is secure, governed and built for growth.
Why asses your security foundations?
A Landing Zone is the structural foundation of your AWS environment. If it is misconfigured, everything built on top inherits that risk.
As environments evolve, Landing Zones can drift from original design intent. New accounts are created, policies are modified, permissions expand and governance boundaries shift. Without structured validation, this drift can introduce security gaps, operational inconsistencies and compliance exposure.
Habitat3 uses automation tooling, including 6pillars assessment capabilities, to evaluate your existing Landing Zone against AWS best practices and governance standards.
We assess:
-
AWS Organisation structure – ensuring accounts and organisational units are logically grouped and aligned to business needs
-
Account separation model – validating clear isolation between environments (Dev/Test/Prod) and business functions
-
Service Control Policies (SCPs) – confirming guardrails are correctly defined and enforced
-
Root account controls – reviewing MFA, credential posture and privileged access configuration
-
Billing structure – validating consolidated billing alignment and cost visibility boundaries
-
Environment isolation – ensuring network segmentation and cross-account access are controlled appropriately
Using automation, we analyse real infrastructure state rather than relying on documentation alone. Configuration gaps, policy inconsistencies and governance misalignments are surfaced with prioritised remediation guidance.
This provides a clear view of whether your Landing Zone is genuinely production-ready — or simply assumed to be.
In Summary
As your business scales, the cost of foundational weaknesses increases. A validated Landing Zone ensures security guardrails remain intact, environments stay properly isolated, and governance controls scale with your organisation.
By assessing and strengthening your AWS foundation early, you reduce long-term risk, improve audit confidence and create a cloud platform that can grow cleanly — without accumulating structural debt.
