Compliant cloud foundations.
Deployed in 30 minutes.
ZAP deploys CIS-aligned Hub & Spoke landing zones across Azure, AWS and GCP — governance, networking, security controls and compliance monitoring built in from the first resource. No SI required. No IaC expertise needed.
Building a compliant landing zone
the traditional way takes months.
6 to 12 months before you can deploy
Engaging an SI to design and deliver a compliant cloud foundation takes 6–12 months. Compliance review, network design, IaC development, testing, approval. Every business workload waits. ZAP compresses this to 30 minutes — your platform team, no SI.
IP conflicts and network chaos
Without systematic IPAM across cloud accounts, IP address conflicts cause deployment failures, peering issues and network outages. Most organisations discover conflicts only when they happen. ZAP IPAM scans every VNet, subnet and VLAN before assigning any CIDR range — guaranteed conflict-free, every time.
Compliance discovered after deployment
Traditional landing zone tools deploy infrastructure and scan it afterwards. Non-compliant resources exist from day one. ZAP enforces CIS compliance before deployment — non-compliant configurations are blocked in pre-flight validation and the 5-gate pipeline.
From request to live.
Seven steps. 30 minutes.
Every landing zone follows the same governed pipeline — IPAM first, compliance enforced at every gate, Platform Lead approval required before anything deploys.
IPAM First
ZAP IPAM scans every connected cloud account — every VNet, subnet and VLAN across Azure, AWS and GCP — before any CIDR range is assigned. Conflict-free addressing guaranteed. Auto-suggested CIDRs per region based on existing topology. Every deployed network catalogued in the ZAP IPAM registry. IP conflicts discovered after deployment cause network outages and rework that takes days to resolve. ZAP makes the conflict impossible by resolving it before deployment begins.
Every landing zone includes
governance from day one.

What a governed landing zone
actually saves you.
The 30-minute deployment is the headline. The ongoing governance is where the real value is.
Eliminate SI dependency
Traditional cloud foundation delivery requires a systems integrator for design, build and ongoing changes. Every new landing zone is a project. With ZAP, your platform team deploys and governs compliant environments self-service from week one. SI relationship freed for strategic architecture — not compliance maintenance.
Compliance enforced before deployment — not discovered at audit
Every security finding discovered at audit represents days or weeks of prior exposure. For regulated enterprises under FCA, DORA or NHS oversight, that exposure has regulatory consequences. ZAP enforces CIS controls before infrastructure is created. Your audit posture is the same on day one as it is on day 365.
Self-service governed infrastructure — without writing IaC
Platform teams are the bottleneck in traditional governance models. Every landing zone request requires IaC development, compliance review and SI sign-off. ZAP removes the bottleneck. Engineers request via wizard. ZAP generates the Terraform. Platform Lead approves the PR. No IaC authoring required from the requesting engineer.
Cloud spend attributed from day one — not allocated months later
Without mandatory tagging enforced at deployment, cloud cost attribution is always retrospective. Finance teams spend weeks per quarter trying to allocate spend to business units. Every resource deployed through ZAP is tagged at creation — owner, cost centre, project, environment. No untagged resources. No allocation debates.
Audit evidence available in seconds — not assembled over weeks
Compliance teams spend 3–4 weeks per audit cycle manually assembling evidence — pulling scan results from cloud consoles, chasing engineers for remediation records, manually mapping findings to frameworks. ZAP generates a complete compliance evidence pack across all 9 frameworks in seconds.
Compliance as a guardrail — not a blocker
Traditional compliance is a gate at the end of the process — a review that delays deployment and sends work back for rework. ZAP makes compliance invisible to engineers. The landing zone they get is already compliant. The Terraform they review in the PR is already compliant.
