Azure Landing Zone Setup · Durham
Azure Landing Zone Setup in Durham
Setting up Azure landing zones for Durham organisations, where policy needs a hierarchy to attach to. Subscriptions created directly under the tenant root have nowhere for governance to inherit from, so every rule has to be applied individually — and the ones nobody remembered to apply are where the problems begin.
Why this comes up
The problem
Twelve subscriptions sit directly under the root with no management groups and no inherited policy.
What you get
What we deliver
- Management group hierarchy designed before subscriptions are placed into it
- Azure Policy applied at the right level so it inherits rather than being repeated
- Guardrails set for regions, resource types and configurations that are not permitted
- Subscription model decided around workload, environment and billing separation
- Networking established, including hub connectivity and whether it is warranted
- New subscription provisioning automated so they arrive governed 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.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Azure Landing Zone Setup in Durham — common questions
- What do management groups actually give us?
- Somewhere for policy to live. Assignments made at a management group flow down to every subscription beneath it, so a rule applied once covers everything current and future — whereas a flat structure means applying the same rule repeatedly and missing some.
- What should policy enforce?
- The things you would not want discovered later — permitted regions for data residency, required tags, disallowed resource types and configurations that create exposure. Preventive policy is considerably more effective than finding the same problems in an audit afterwards.
- How many subscriptions should we have?
- Enough to separate what should not affect each other. Subscriptions carry quotas and act as a policy and billing boundary, so production and development sharing one produces both governance and capacity problems that separation removes cleanly.
- Can this be applied to an existing estate?
- Yes, and more carefully than to a new one. Subscriptions can be moved into a hierarchy and policy introduced in audit mode first, so you see what would be blocked before enforcing anything — which avoids breaking running workloads while establishing the structure.
- 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.
