What is an Azure Landing Zone and Why It Matters in Canada?

An Azure Landing Zone is the foundation for all modern cloud environments — a ready-to-deploy architecture that defines identity, network, security, policy, and automation across subscriptions.
‍
For Canadian organizations — especially municipalities, health agencies, and SMBs working with sensitive data — this foundation is critical to ensure compliance with PIPEDA, PBMM, and WCAG 2.0 AA regulations.

By using Azure CAF (Cloud Adoption Framework) and Deop’s proven architecture templates, you can achieve:

Azure Regions and Data Residency in Canada

Many teams ask:

  • What are the Azure regions in Canada?
  • Can I get Azure in Canada East or Canada Central?

Yes. Azure provides two sovereign regions:

  • Canada East (Quebec City)
  • Canada Central (Toronto)

Deop ensures your workloads stay within Canadian boundaries, meeting data sovereignty and residency requirements for federal and provincial clients.

How Deop Builds Compliant Azure Landing Zones

Our Landing Zone includes:

Networking layer – hub-spoke model with Palo Alto or Azure Firewall integration.

Identity & Access layer – Azure AD, RBAC, conditional access policies.

Security & Monitoring layer – Defender for Cloud, Sentinel integration, activity logs.

Automation & Policy layer – Azure Policy, blueprints, and continuous drift detection.

Compliance layer – alignment with PBMM (Protected B, Medium Integrity) and ISO 27001 controls.

Benefits of a Well-Architected Azure Landing Zone
