The old way
Cloud advice with a sales quota behind it
The Cipher way
An independent review with nothing to sell you after
Four pillars, reviewed against AWS Well-Architected
A structured, vendor-neutral assessment of your AWS environment — not a sales pitch for more services.
Cost & FinOps
Find waste, rightsizing opportunities and commitment/savings-plan coverage, and set a defensible target spend — without anyone pushing you to buy more.
Security & compliance
IAM, public exposure, encryption, logging and guardrails reviewed against the Well-Architected Framework and Australian privacy expectations.
Reliability & resilience
Backups, single points of failure, multi-AZ posture and recovery objectives, so an outage is a plan rather than a surprise.
Performance & scalability
Architecture and data-path review so the platform scales with load and AI workloads without runaway cost.
