Cloud Architecture for Regulated Industries
AWS and Azure infrastructure designed for security, compliance, and production reliability. Not generic cloud setup—architecture built for your regulatory constraints.
Cloud Infrastructure in Regulated Environments Is Different
Standard cloud architecture tutorials don't account for HIPAA technical safeguards, SOC 2 control requirements, or the audit evidence regulated organizations need to produce. Default configurations leave logging incomplete, network boundaries undefined, and encryption inconsistent.
For healthcare, legal, and compliance-driven teams, cloud infrastructure requires deliberate design. Access controls that align with minimum necessary principles. Encryption configured correctly across all services. Logging that captures what auditors actually need. Network isolation that matches the sensitivity of the data being processed.
What We Design and Build
- HIPAA-aligned AWS and Azure environments — VPC architecture, encryption configuration, IAM design, and logging that meets HIPAA technical safeguard requirements
- SOC 2-ready infrastructure — Cloud environments configured to support SOC 2 Type II audits with appropriate controls, logging, and access management
- Data pipeline infrastructure — Secure ingestion, transformation, and storage architecture for sensitive and regulated data
- AI and ML infrastructure — Bedrock, SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, and related services configured for compliance-aware AI workloads
- Zero-trust network architecture — Identity-based access, network segmentation, and least-privilege access controls across cloud resources
- Observability and incident response — Logging, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure designed for security operations and compliance review
Our Infrastructure Philosophy
Infrastructure as code. All cloud resources are defined in code, reviewed like software, and deployed through automated pipelines. This creates reproducibility, reduces configuration drift, and provides the audit trail that regulated environments require.
Security by default. We configure services with restrictive defaults and open access only as required. Encryption is on everywhere it's supported. Logging is enabled before data enters the environment. Network access is restricted to what's needed.
Compliance evidence by design. Logs are structured for compliance review, not just engineering troubleshooting. Access events capture who, what, and when. Monitoring alerts on anomalies that indicate policy violations. Auditors can answer their questions from the logs, not from memory.
No magic configuration. We document what we build, why each decision was made, and what compliance obligations each control satisfies. Your security and compliance teams can review our architecture against your requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both. We have deep experience with AWS and Azure for regulated workloads. AWS is common for healthcare clients due to HIPAA-eligible service coverage and mature tooling. Azure is often preferred by enterprises with existing Microsoft licensing. We recommend based on your existing environment, compliance requirements, and specific workload characteristics.
It means your infrastructure is configured to satisfy the HIPAA Security Rule's technical safeguards: access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security. This includes correct encryption configuration, comprehensive access logging, network isolation for PHI workloads, and role-based access aligned with minimum necessary principles. It also means your infrastructure vendor has signed a BAA covering the services you use.
Yes. We frequently assess existing cloud environments, identify compliance gaps, and implement remediation. This typically involves an architecture review phase to document current state and gaps, followed by incremental remediation work. We prioritize by risk—addressing the most significant gaps first while minimizing disruption to running systems.
After initial build, some clients engage us for ongoing advisory support—architecture review for new workloads, security review for infrastructure changes, and periodic compliance assessment. Others bring infrastructure in-house after we've delivered the initial design and documentation. We scope ongoing support based on your team's capabilities and needs.
