Tallence Cloud Foundation

Managed AWS Landing Zone & Governance Service: operated as Co-Pilot or Full-Service, with 24/7 monitoring, drift detection, and FinOps built in.

Tallence Cloud Foundation

Tallence Cloud Foundation

Governance is not a project. It's an ongoing responsibility.

Once the landing zone is built, the real work begins. AWS releases Control Tower updates. GuardDuty fires alerts. IAM roles accumulate. Costs drift. Most teams don't have the bandwidth to stay on top of it: and the consequences show up in audits, incidents, and budget surprises.

Tallence Cloud Foundation takes that responsibility off your plate. We operate your AWS multi-account environment as a managed service: monitoring guardrails, responding to incidents, optimizing costs, and keeping your compliance posture current.

Tallence Cloud Foundation

Governance as a Service: we watch the watchers so your developers can ship.

The service works for both customers who want to retain full control of their AWS organization (Co-Pilot model) and those who want a single invoice and zero infrastructure responsibility (Full-Service model).

Either way, you get the same enterprise security architecture, the same SLAs, and the same team.

Operating models

Two models. One security architecture.

Choose the model that fits your compliance requirements and internal governance preferences. Both run on the same Tallence security baseline.

Co-Pilot

Facet A: Co-Pilot

You retain root access and billing. Tallence manages governance via cross-account IAM roles. Ideal for companies with existing AWS relationships or compliance requirements that mandate internal account ownership.

  • Customer owns root credentials and billing
  • Tallence accesses via cross-account roles (best practice)
  • Existing AWS credits and contracts preserved
  • Full visibility into all Tallence actions
  • Suitable for ISO 27001 and BSI C5 audit requirements
Full-Service

Facet B: Full-Service

Tallence provisions and owns the AWS organization. You get a single invoice covering AWS consumption and service fees. Ideal for startups, spin-offs, or teams that want zero infrastructure responsibility.

  • Single invoice: AWS costs + service fee
  • Tallence manages billing, support, and vendor relations
  • Faster onboarding: no existing AWS setup required
  • Free CloudCheckr dashboard included: real-time cost allocation, rightsizing recommendations, and security best practice checks across your entire AWS environment
  • CloudCheckr gives you full visibility into spend by team, project, and service: with predictive forecasting and automated anomaly alerts before costs spiral
