What leaders see
The system is in the cloud, but risk still feels local.
Performance, outage exposure, security questions, backup confidence, and monthly spend are still hard to explain.

Cloud Security & Compliance
Secure your cloud like your auditors are watching — because they are. Operationally complex businesses handle ITAR-controlled data, customer financial information, proprietary product designs, and supply chain intelligence. Moving to the cloud doesn’t change your compliance obligations — it changes how you meet them. We design cloud security that satisfies auditors and protects your operation.
01
The Problem
Moving to the Cloud Doesn't Remove Your Compliance Obligations
Cloud problems usually start when infrastructure is moved before ownership, recovery, cost control, and data dependencies are designed around the AI, ERP, and integration workloads.
What is actually happening
The environment was sized around assumptions.
Workload behavior, recovery requirements, network paths, observability, and operating accountability were not designed together.
What gets worse
The cloud becomes another rented server room.
The business pays for flexibility without gaining a stronger foundation for AI, ERP control, reporting, and data readiness.

What Changes
What Cloud Security & Compliance includes.
Operationally complex businesses handle ITAR-controlled data, customer financial information, proprietary product designs, and supply chain intelligence. Moving to the cloud doesn’t change your compliance obligations — it changes how you meet them. We design cloud security that satisfies auditors and protects your operation.
01
Identity & Access Management
Role-based access control, least-privilege policies, MFA enforcement, and service account governance. Every user and system has exactly the access they need and nothing more.
02
Network Security
VPC segmentation, security groups, WAF, DDoS protection, and private connectivity to on-premise. Network architecture designed to isolate workloads and limit blast radius.
03
Encryption
Data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Key management with customer-managed keys where compliance requires it. Encryption applied consistently across all storage and communication layers.
04
Compliance Frameworks
Architecture designed to meet SOC 2, ITAR, CMMC, NIST 800-171, and industry-specific requirements. Control mapping documentation that auditors can use directly.
05
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated backups with defined RPO/RTO targets, cross-region replication for critical workloads, and documented DR procedures that are tested regularly — not just written.
06
Security Monitoring & Incident Response
Cloud-native security monitoring (GuardDuty, Security Center), centralized logging, alert routing, and documented incident response procedures. Threats detected and responded to, not just logged.
03
How It Fits Your Operations
How Cloud Security & Compliance fits your operation.
Operating infrastructure and data readinessWhich workloads move first, what has to stay isolated, and how rollback works.
Governance dependencyThe infrastructure has to support uptime, recovery, security, observability, cost control, and data access before AI depends on it.

What Launchpad defines before engineering begins
- What the business needs to change and why.
- Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
- What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.

Decide what to build and in what order.
Launchpad assesses the business and turns discovery into priorities, risks, readiness, architecture, and an implementation Roadmap. Metrotechs then engineers and supports the approved solution.
Metrotechs designs, builds, integrates, and supports the approved solution.
Launchpad keeps priorities, risks, owners, decisions, and delivery governance connected.

Delivery sequence
How Metrotechs delivers Cloud Security & Compliance.
Operationally complex businesses handle ITAR-controlled data, customer financial information, proprietary product designs, and supply chain intelligence. Moving to the cloud.
01
Compliance Assessment
Identify all compliance requirements — regulatory, contractual, and internal policy. Map requirements to cloud security controls and identify gaps.
02
Security Architecture
Design the security architecture — IAM, networking, encryption, monitoring, and DR — with controls mapped to each compliance requirement.
03
Implementation
Implement security controls as infrastructure-as-code for consistency and auditability. Every control is version-controlled and reproducible.
04
Validation & Audit Prep
Validate controls against compliance requirements. Generate control documentation, evidence packages, and audit-ready reports.
05
FAQ
Questions that usually decide the scope.
Straight answers to what operators ask before committing budget to this work.
Yes. AWS GovCloud and Azure Government provide ITAR-compliant infrastructure. We design the architecture to ensure ITAR-controlled data stays within compliant regions and access is restricted to US persons as required.
