Optimize your AWS workloads for cost, security, and performance with a certified review process.
As your business scales, your cloud infrastructure must remain efficient, secure, and resilient. The AWS Well-Architected Review (WAR) is a strategic assessment that identifies architectural risks and inefficiencies in your AWS environment. Our certified AWS professionals evaluate your workloads against a standardized framework and provide a detailed roadmap for improvement.
This isn't a generic audit. It's a tailored review designed to:
Whether you’re managing production workloads, planning for compliance audits, or simply trying to reduce your AWS bill, this review provides the insight and direction you need to move forward with confidence.
Developed by AWS, the Well-Architected Framework provides a consistent approach to evaluating and improving your cloud architecture. It is structured around five key pillars:
Ensuring your systems run effectively and can evolve quickly.
Protecting data, systems, and assets while enabling risk management.
Designing workloads that recover quickly and meet service-level expectations.
Using IT and computing resources efficiently as demand changes.
Avoiding unnecessary costs and maximizing investment return.
During the review, your AWS workloads are assessed against these five pillars using both automated tools and expert analysis. The goal is to identify high-risk issues (HRIs) and recommend remediation steps that lead to better outcomes for your business.
Small and midsize businesses often face the same cloud challenges as enterprises—without the internal resources to proactively manage them. A Well-Architected Review bridges that gap by bringing enterprise-grade architecture evaluation to the SMB market.
Business-Driven Outcomes for SMBs:
Identify gaps in identity access, encryption, and data protection.
Detect over-provisioned resources, unused instances, and inefficient storage.
Optimize latency, scaling, and compute resources.
Validate your backup, restore, and disaster recovery strategies.
Build a reliable, scalable foundation for new services and workloads.
Strengthen alignment with HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, or internal policy standards.
The review is particularly valuable for businesses in regulated industries or those undergoing rapid digital transformation.
Our process is designed for clarity, depth, and business alignment. You’ll receive far more than a checklist—we deliver a strategic architecture evaluation backed by real-world expertise.
Deliverables:
We’ve designed a structured yet flexible approach to make the process simple and impactful for your team.
We begin with a collaborative session to understand your technical environment, business goals, and workload priorities. This ensures the review is aligned with what matters most to your business.
Using the AWS Well-Architected Tool and our internal checklists, we assess your workload across the five framework pillars. This involves analyzing configurations, architecture diagrams, permissions, logs, monitoring tools, and cost metrics.
We deliver a comprehensive report highlighting all high-risk issues, categorized by severity and business impact. Each finding is paired with recommended remediation actions and their projected outcomes.
Our team can assist in remediating critical findings. Once at least 45% of HRIs are addressed, we guide you through the AWS credit eligibility process. These credits can help offset future AWS charges or project costs.
This review is ideal for organizations that:
Even if your AWS environment appears stable, there may be hidden risks, inefficiencies, or vulnerabilities that could affect performance or availability in the future.
Overbudget cloud spend and upcoming HIPAA audit
Identified IAM misconfigurations, decommissioned unused EC2 instances, implemented encryption-at-rest. Resulted in 22% cost savings and audit readiness within 60 days.
Inconsistent application uptime and outdated disaster recovery process
Re-architected backup and DR strategy, integrated S3 lifecycle policies, and introduced automation. Improved system resilience and reduced recovery times by 50%.
Poor application performance during seasonal spikes
Implemented auto-scaling, optimized Lambda usage, and integrated CloudWatch monitoring. Reduced latency by 30% and ensured 99.99% uptime during holiday season.
Your AWS environment deserves expert attention—not just automated scripts or generic recommendations.
We bring:
We partner with you to make your cloud environment more secure, efficient, and aligned with your business trajectory.
Typical reviews take between 5 to 10 business days, depending on workload complexity and availability of access.
Yes, we typically collaborate with a technical point of contact, but we handle the heavy lifting during the assessment and reporting phases.
We’ll need read-only access to your AWS environment, basic architecture documentation (if available), and a short kickoff meeting with your team.
AWS credits are awarded for eligible workloads once high-risk issues are remediated. While AWS has discretion, we guide you through the process to maximize your chances.
Yes. We offer flexible engagement options—from advisory-only to full hands-on remediation depending on your internal resources and timeline.
If you’re running workloads in AWS, there’s no better time to evaluate your architecture and improve your results. With minimal time investment, you gain valuable insight, a roadmap for improvement, and access to AWS-backed incentives.
