Public sector cloud should be secure, supportable and easy to evidence

Public sector organisations often inherit cloud environments that have grown around urgent delivery, supplier changes, legacy applications, budget pressure and assurance requirements. The result is usually the same: environments that work, but are hard to govern, document and support.

Hard to document

Cloud environments grown around urgent delivery and supplier changes, with little operational documentation.

Governance gaps

Azure or AWS accounts not clearly governed, with inconsistent tagging, ownership and policy.

Inconsistent security

Security controls applied unevenly across workloads, subscriptions and supplier-built environments.

Monitoring blind spots

Partial visibility of availability, backups, costs and operational risks across services.

Supplier handover problems

Inherited environments without diagrams, access lists or operational evidence.

Cost creep

Cloud spend rising with limited visibility of waste, reservations or ownership.

Limited internal expertise

Small internal IT teams under pressure to support cloud platforms they didn't design.

Evidence pressure

Growing demand to evidence compliance, resilience and risk for boards and audit.

Outage risk

Concern that an avoidable cloud incident could disrupt frontline public services.
