WHERE AWS ESTATES BREAK DOWN
When your AWS Managed Services bill should be predictable, not a surprise
Most UK AWS estates grow organically and hit the same three issues by year two: cost creep, security drift, and missing Well-Architected disciplines. We fix all three.
AWS spend creeps 30% over plan
✕
Forgotten EBS volumes, oversized EC2 instances, untagged resources and unused Reserved Instances inflate the bill. By the time finance asks, it has compounded.
✓
Quarterly FinOps reviews against AWS Cost Explorer baselines, RI/Savings Plan optimisation, shadow-resource cleanup.
Security drifts from baseline
✕
Security Groups, IAM policies, GuardDuty and Security Hub configurations drift from baseline. Compliance gaps appear and nobody notices until an audit.
✓
Monthly hardening reviews against AWS Foundational Security Best Practices and CIS, with drift remediated within hours.
Workloads not Well-Architected
✕
Lift-and-shift VMs, hard-coded regions and missing landing-zones lock you into one AWS region and one architecture pattern. Modernisation stalls.
✓
AWS Well-Architected Framework reviews on every workload, landing-zone refactor, multi-region readiness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
AWS Managed Services FAQ
What's included in AWS Managed Services?
End-to-end AWS estate ownership: AWS Control Tower landing-zone design, 6Rs migration methodology, 24/7 operations, GuardDuty + Security Hub baselines, FinOps reviews against AWS Cost Explorer, and audit-ready evidence packs for ICO, FCA, NHS DSPT. One UK team, one fixed monthly fee. We’ve done this for UK clients like IQPC who optimised AWS spend by 32%.
Are you an AWS partner?
Yes. Transputec is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, the second-highest partner tier earned through validated UK customer outcomes (not just exam passes). We hold ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus. AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) funding is available for qualifying complex migrations.
How does the AWS Well-Architected Review work?
We assess every workload against the AWS Well-Architected Framework across all 6 pillars (Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, Sustainability). The output is a heat-map of high-risk issues, costed remediation plan, and a quarterly cadence to maintain WAF compliance. Aligned with NCSC Cloud Security guidance and Cyber Essentials.
How does pricing work and how much will we save?
Fixed monthly per-account fee covers architecture, operations, security reviews, FinOps and on-call hours. AWS consumption charges are passed through at cost. Median savings on AWS consumption after quarterly FinOps reviews (RI/Savings Plan planning, right-sizing, shadow-resource cleanup) is 32%, paying for the management fee multiple times over. Our AWS vs Azure comparison covers when to pick which platform.
What about data residency and UK sovereignty?
eu-west-2 (London) keeps your data and processing within UK borders, simplifying UK GDPR, ICO, FCA and NHS DSPT compliance. Our landing-zone design defaults to eu-west-2 primary + eu-west-1 (Ireland) DR. If you need cross-region for global workloads, we add additional regions but maintain a UK-anchored architecture. Full data-residency documentation is included.
What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework?
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is Amazon’s reference design for cloud workloads, organised around six pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimisation and Sustainability. AWS partners (Transputec is one) run Well-Architected Reviews against your estate, producing prioritised remediation lists per pillar with measurable improvement targets. For UK organisations, the framework aligns cleanly with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and NCSC Cloud Security Principles, so a single review programme covers commercial-grade architecture AND regulator-grade evidence. See the official AWS Well-Architected Framework documentation.
