AWS Well-Architected Framework
Thorben helps organizations design and operate reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud using the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
Our certified AWS architects conduct comprehensive reviews and provide actionable recommendations to optimize your cloud infrastructure across all six pillars of the framework.
Six Pillars of Well-Architected
Operational Excellence
Run and monitor systems to deliver business value and continually improve supporting processes and procedures.
Security
Protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
Reliability
Ensure a workload performs its intended function correctly and consistently when expected, with the ability to recover from failures.
Performance Efficiency
Use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and maintain efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
Cost Optimization
Run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point, avoiding unnecessary costs and optimizing resource usage.
Sustainability
Minimize environmental impacts of running cloud workloads through energy efficiency and resource optimization.
Government Lens for AWS Well-Architected
SPECIALIZED FOR GOVERNMENT
The AWS Well-Architected Government Lens extends the standard framework with specific guidance for government agencies and organizations working with sensitive data and regulated workloads.
Thorben specializes in applying the Government Lens to help federal, state, and local agencies build cloud architectures that meet stringent compliance requirements while maintaining operational excellence.
Government Lens Focus Areas
Compliance & Governance
Meet FedRAMP, FISMA, CJIS, ITAR, and other government compliance requirements with built-in controls and audit capabilities.
Data Protection
Implement enhanced data protection strategies for classified, sensitive, and personally identifiable information (PII).
Identity & Access
Deploy zero-trust architectures with multi-factor authentication, privileged access management, and continuous verification.
Incident Response
Establish robust incident response procedures aligned with NIST and CISA guidelines for rapid threat detection and remediation.
Continuous Monitoring
Implement continuous monitoring and logging solutions that meet government security and compliance requirements.
Supply Chain Security
Ensure software supply chain security with validated components and secure development practices.
GovCloud Expertise
Thorben's Federal Modernization Platform is built on AWS GovCloud (US) and incorporates Government Lens best practices by default. Our team has extensive experience conducting Well-Architected Reviews with the Government Lens for federal agencies and contractors.
We help organizations navigate the unique challenges of government cloud adoption, from Authority to Operate (ATO) processes to continuous compliance monitoring and reporting.
