Cloud Foundation & Governance · Microsoft Partner

Secure, well-architected Azure foundations that govern themselves.

Deop designs Azure landing zones with config-as-code governance and security baked in — so every workload you add inherits compliance, cost control, and guardrails by default.

Secure, well-architected Azure landing zone with governance guardrails

A cloud foundation is where every later decision about cost, security, and compliance is either enabled or constrained. Get it right once, and everything you build on top inherits it — get it wrong, and you pay for it in every project after.

What we deliver

Architecture, governance, and security as one discipline

Not three separate projects — one foundation, expressed as code, that every future workload builds on.

Governed Azure foundations

A secure Azure foundation aligned to the Well-Architected Framework — see our Azure landing zone service for how we build and migrate onto one.

  • Management-group hierarchy & subscription topology
  • Hub-and-spoke networking
  • Identity, RBAC, and policy guardrails
  • Defined as Terraform / Bicep, repeatable

Governance as code

Standards that apply everywhere and correct themselves.

  • Azure Policy guardrails
  • GitHub Safe Settings for repo governance
  • One baseline, layered overrides
  • Drift reverted automatically

Security by default

Security designed into the foundation, not bolted on later.

  • Entra ID, conditional access, RBAC
  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud
  • Microsoft Sentinel
  • Secure networking & private endpoints

Compliance & public sector

Built for Canadian and regulated environments.

  • PBMM / Protected B alignment
  • Canadian data residency
  • Audit-ready policy & tagging
  • Cost visibility & controls
How it works

Deliberate by design

We move from business constraints to a validated design to a foundation you can build on — documenting the trade-offs so your team owns the reasoning, not just the result.

Assess

Map workloads, compliance obligations, data-residency needs, and cost targets against the Well-Architected pillars.

Design the foundation

Define the management-group hierarchy, networking, identity, and Azure Policy guardrails — as infrastructure-as-code.

Build & enforce

Stand up the foundation through IaC pipelines and wire in governance-as-code and security (Defender, Sentinel).

Operate & evolve

Document the architecture, enable your team, and keep governance and security continuously enforced as the estate grows.

The Deop difference

Guardrails that don't drift

1

one governed baseline, applied across every subscription and repo — standards change in a single place and self-correct, so your foundation stays compliant without manual policing.

  • Management-group hierarchy
  • Azure Policy guardrails
  • GitHub Safe Settings repo governance
  • Entra ID + RBAC + conditional access
  • Defender for Cloud + Microsoft Sentinel
  • PBMM alignment & Canadian data residency
Why Deop

Boutique, senior-led, and public-sector ready

Senior architects, a repeatable landing-zone accelerator, and a Microsoft partnership — with real experience in Canadian public-sector and regulated environments.

Delivered with Microsoft

Advanced Azure specializations and a Microsoft partnership, with partner funding available for eligible work.

A repeatable accelerator

Our landing-zone reference implementation is a known-good starting point — as code, not a science project.

Compliance built in

PBMM alignment, Canadian data residency, and audit-ready governance from day one.

Questions buyers ask us

The objections we hear first

Greenfield or an existing estate — can you do both?

Yes. We design new foundations and re-base existing environments onto a governed landing zone, migrating workloads in a controlled way.

What is PBMM, and do you work with public sector?

PBMM (Protected B, Medium integrity, Medium availability) is a Canadian government security profile. We design foundations aligned to it and have delivered for public-sector and regulated clients.

How do you stop configuration drift?

Governance as code: Azure Policy and GitHub Safe Settings reconcile continuously, so anything that drifts from the baseline is reverted automatically.

Does this cover repository governance too?

Yes — the same config-as-code approach governs GitHub repos (branch protection, required reviews, security features) alongside Azure.

Do you keep data in Canada?

Yes — foundations are designed to meet Canadian data-residency requirements end to end.

How long does it take to stand up a landing zone?

Because it's a repeatable accelerator deployed as code, a baseline foundation stands up quickly; scope depends on your compliance and networking requirements, which we size in the assessment. Full detail on the build sits on our Azure landing zone page.
