Mission-critical security, built to last

Move to AWS without leaving security for later.

Velorian plans and runs cloud migrations with identity, network and compliance controls designed in from the first architecture review, so the environment you land in is one you can defend and audit.

Migration path through a security control layer On-premises directory, applications and data pass through an identity and network control layer into an AWS landing zone with separate security, logging, production and non-production accounts.

Every workload crosses an identity and network control layer before it lands in a governed AWS account structure.

For teams moving real workloads

Most migrations treat security as a phase near the end. By then the account structure, network and access model are set, and fixing them means rework.

Velorian works with mid-size and enterprise organizations that have on-premises estates to move, compliance obligations to keep, and an internal team that will run the result. That includes regulated industries and federal-adjacent teams that need AWS GovCloud.

You work directly with a senior architect who has built identity, network and cloud security for federal agencies and large enterprises, not a rotating bench.

What we do

Four practice areas, with identity and access running through all of them. Most clients start with an assessment and continue into design and build.

  • Cloud migration and modernization

    For organizations moving on-prem workloads to AWS

    Portfolio assessment, wave planning and cutover for applications and data, with each workload landing in an account structure that already enforces your controls.

    • Migration readiness assessment
    • Wave plan and runbooks
    • Cutover and rollback plans
  • DevOps and platform engineering

    For teams that need repeatable, reviewable infrastructure

    Infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and a platform your engineers can deploy to without filing tickets, with security checks in the pipeline rather than after it.

    • Terraform or CloudFormation modules
    • Pipeline with policy checks
    • Golden paths for app teams
  • Cloud security architecture

    For teams preparing for audits or a security review

    Landing zone design, guardrails, detection and logging that map to the frameworks you answer to, documented so an auditor can follow them.

    • Landing zone and guardrails
    • Control mapping
    • Logging and detection baseline
  • Hybrid network architecture

    For estates that will run on-prem and in AWS for years

    Connectivity, segmentation, inspection and DNS between your data centers and AWS, designed for the traffic you actually have.

    • Direct Connect and VPN design
    • Transit and segmentation
    • Hybrid DNS
  • Identity and access management

    Supporting capability across every engagement

    Federation, role design and privileged access, so the people and services in your new environment have exactly the access they need.

    • SSO and federation
    • Role and permission design
    • Privileged access controls

How engagements are structured

How an engagement runs

Security decisions are made in the design step, where they are cheapest to change, and verified in every step after it.

  1. Assess

    Inventory workloads, dependencies, identities and the controls you must meet.

  2. Design

    Target architecture, account structure, network and access model, agreed before anything is built.

  3. Build

    Landing zone and pipelines as code, with guardrails and logging switched on from day one.

  4. Migrate

    Move workloads in planned waves, each with a tested cutover and rollback.

  5. Hand off

    Runbooks, diagrams and working sessions so your team owns and operates what was built.

Selected work

Federal production environment

Secure cloud infrastructure in AWS GovCloud

Deployed secure cloud infrastructure for a production workload in AWS GovCloud, with access, network and logging controls built to federal requirements.

Department of Homeland Security agency, as subcontractor

Privileged access and identity architecture

PAM and IAM security engineering and architecture spanning on-premises and cloud platform infrastructure.

Why security-first costs less

Retrofits are rework

Changing an account structure or network design after workloads are running means re-testing and re-migrating them. Designing it correctly the first time avoids paying for the migration twice.

Audits go faster with evidence built in

When guardrails, logging and access reviews exist from day one, audit evidence comes from the environment itself instead of a scramble before the assessor arrives.

Federal rigor at commercial pace

The same control discipline used in federal environments, applied with the speed and scope a commercial team needs.
