AWS Landing Zone Setup in Durham
Setting up AWS landing zones for Durham organisations, where the account structure is the boundary everything else depends on. Accounts are how blast radius, billing and access are separated — and separating workloads that already share one is considerably harder than putting them in the right place before they arrive.
Why this comes up
The problem
Production, development and a client project all share one account with the same set of credentials.
What you get
What we deliver
- Account structure designed around isolation, ownership and billing boundaries
- Organisation policies applied so guardrails hold regardless of local permissions
- Identity centralised, with access to accounts granted through roles rather than users
- Logging aggregated into a dedicated account that workloads cannot alter
- Networking established, including how accounts connect and whether they should
- Account creation automated, so new ones arrive configured rather than empty

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

AWS Landing Zone Setup in Durham — common questions
- Why separate accounts rather than use tags?
- Because an account is a genuine boundary. Permissions, quotas and billing stop at its edge, so a mistake or a compromise in one does not reach the others — whereas tagging within a single account is a labelling convention that enforces nothing by itself.
- How many accounts is right?
- Enough to separate what should not affect each other. Production, non-production, security tooling and shared services is a common starting shape, with more added per team or workload where the isolation genuinely earns the additional administration.
- What do organisation policies achieve?
- Guardrails nobody can remove locally. Restricting regions, preventing logging from being disabled and blocking particular actions at the organisation level means an account administrator cannot undo them — which is the difference between a policy and a preference.
- Can this be retrofitted?
- It can, and it costs considerably more. Moving live workloads between accounts involves migration rather than configuration, so organisations that start with one account and grow into it face a project later — which is why the structure is worth deciding early even when it feels premature.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
