Cloud Audit · Portsmouth
Cloud Audit in Portsmouth
A review of what a Portsmouth organisation is actually running in the cloud, and who owns it. Most estates contain resources nobody recognises — an environment built for a project that ended, a database kept because deleting it felt risky — and the audit's first job is producing a list with a name against every line.
Why this comes up
The problem
The monthly bill is understood in total and nobody can say what a third of the individual resources are for.
What you get
What we deliver
- A complete inventory across every account and subscription, including forgotten ones
- An owner identified for each resource, or the fact that there is not one recorded
- Idle and orphaned resources listed with what they cost to keep
- Environments compared, since non-production is frequently sized like production
- Exposure checked — anything reachable publicly that was not intended to be
- Commitments and reserved capacity reviewed against what is genuinely running

Cloud Audit in Portsmouth — common questions
- Why start with ownership rather than cost?
- Because nothing gets switched off without it. A list of expensive resources produces a discussion in which nobody is willing to confirm that anything is safe to remove, whereas a list with a named owner per line turns the same exercise into a series of quick decisions.
- What typically turns up?
- Unattached storage volumes, load balancers with nothing behind them, snapshots going back years, development environments running through the night and at weekends, and at least one account somebody created outside the normal process that nobody has looked at since.
- Is this the same as cost optimisation?
- It is what should precede it. Optimisation reduces the price of what you run; the audit establishes whether you should be running it at all — and turning something off saves considerably more than resizing it.
- How often is it worth repeating?
- Annually for most organisations, and after any period of rapid change. Estates accumulate quietly, so a review each year keeps the inventory honest — and the second audit is always faster than the first because the tagging and ownership work from the first one is still in place.
- Do you work with businesses across Hampshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Portsmouth businesses do you usually work with?
- Port, ferry and defence logistics systems, plus visitor operations for the waterfront attractions. Beyond that we work across Marine & Defence, Ports & Ferries, Higher Education, Retail and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Portsmouth?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Southampton, Chichester, Brighton. Portsmouth is an urban area of roughly 240,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hampshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
