Common questions

Straight answers to cloud questions.

Can Cloudel help us build Azure or AWS from scratch?

Yes. We can scope, architect and implement secure cloud foundations, including account or subscription structure, networking, identity, governance and deployment automation.

Do you work with regulated businesses?

Cloudel's consulting leadership has worked in banking, financial services, regulated gaming and other sectors where assurance, resilience and data protection are important. Each engagement is scoped to the client's requirements.

What does a cloud security assessment cover?

Depending on the scope, we review architecture, identity and privileged access, security configuration, monitoring, governance and resilience. The output is a prioritised set of findings and recommended actions.

Can you review a project without taking over delivery?

Yes. Independent architecture, security and technical design assurance can be provided as a focused engagement alongside your existing internal team or delivery partner.
