QyrosCloud designed and implemented a secure enterprise AWS landing zone for a Fortune 500 geospatial technology company, establishing centralized governance across 20+ AWS accounts. The architecture leverages AWS Control Tower, Organizations, Transit Gateway, and IAM Identity Center to deliver scalable multi-account networking with unified security visibility through Security Hub.
What was at stake.
The company was expanding its cloud footprint rapidly as it migrated complex geospatial processing systems and enterprise workloads to AWS. However, the growth of its cloud environment introduced several architectural challenges.
“A Fortune 500 technology company specializing in geospatial and data analytics platforms needed to establish a secure, scalable cloud foundation on Amazon Web Services to support rapidly expanding cloud workloads.”
How we solved it.
QyrosCloud designed and implemented a secure enterprise AWS landing zone architecture that established a scalable foundation for multi-account cloud operations.
The architecture focused on three core pillars:
- multi-account governance
- centralized networking
- unified identity and security management
The environment was built using AWS Control Tower, enabling automated governance and standardized account provisioning.
Key capabilities included automated creation of new AWS accounts, security guardrails applied across the organization, centralized logging and auditing and standardized account configuration
This landing zone architecture ensured that all accounts adhered to consistent security and governance policies.
The AWS environment was structured using AWS Organizations, enabling centralized management of more than 20 AWS accounts.
Accounts were grouped into logical organizational units (OUs) supporting different workloads and teams, including security and audit teams.
This structure allowed administrators to apply policies and permissions consistently across accounts.
To address the complexity of networking across multiple AWS accounts, QyrosCloud implemented a centralized architecture using AWS Transit Gateway.
This architecture established a hub-and-spoke networking model, enabling VPC connectivity across accounts without requiring numerous VPC peering relationships.
Key benefits included centralized routing management, transitive connectivity between VPCs, simplified network topology and scalable architecture supporting future environments.
The Transit Gateway architecture enabled secure communication across VPCs distributed across more than 20 AWS accounts.
To simplify access management, the architecture implemented AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS SSO). This provided centralized authentication across all AWS accounts, role-based access for engineering teams, streamlined login workflows and simplified management of user permissions
Developers and administrators could securely access multiple AWS accounts through a unified authentication platform.
To provide centralized security monitoring, the environment integrated AWS Security Hub. This allowed security teams to aggregate and review findings from multiple AWS services across the entire multi-account environment.
Security teams gained visibility into configuration risks, compliance findings and security alerts across all AWS accounts.
“This engagement required us to balance speed with compliance rigor. We deployed infrastructure-as-code from day one, automated evidence collection across the environment, and delivered a production-ready architecture that passed security review on the first attempt.”
The results speak for themselves.
The architecture established a secure and scalable AWS platform supporting enterprise cloud operations.
The customer is a Fortune 500 technology company specializing in geospatial analytics and advanced data platforms. The organization develops and operates solutions that support large-scale spatial data processing, satellite imagery analysis, and location-based intelligence used across government, commercial, and research sectors.
