Services · ASSESS
Your AWS bill doubled. Engineering doesn't have time. Your CFO needs an answer in two weeks.
A broad two-week audit of your cloud, CI/CD, observability, and operations. Quantified findings, prioritized actions, and a 30/60/90 roadmap your CFO can defend at the next board meeting. For security-only depth, see our Security Audit.
How we deliver this: AI handles the routine analysis (audits, IaC drafts, runbook scaffolds, alert triage). A senior engineer reviews every change before it touches your production. Consultancy speed at consultancy quality.

You suspect there's waste, but can't prove it
Bills go up; nobody knows by how much each workload contributes. We give you per-team, per-workload cost visibility within the first week.
A board ask for a broad infrastructure review
After a budget conversation, a fundraise diligence, or an acquisition due-diligence, leadership wants a credible third-party view of where the infrastructure actually stands.
A major change is on the horizon
Migration, re-architecture, or a board-level commitment to "modernize" — you need a baseline before you commit budget. The audit gives you that baseline.

How it works
-
Phase 01
Inventory and discovery
Read-only access to cloud accounts, CI/CD, observability, and ticketing. Automated scans plus targeted interviews surface the real picture.
-
Phase 02
Multi-domain analysis
Cost, security, reliability, delivery, and operations are each scored against industry baselines. We use the same lens auditors and AWS/Azure/GCP partners use.
-
Phase 03
Prioritization
Findings are scored by effort and impact. The output is a ranked list of changes, not a 200-page document nobody reads.
-
Phase 04
Roadmap workshop
A working session with your engineering and finance leadership to align on which changes to fund, in what order, and on what timeline.
What you get
- → Executive summary (5–10 pages, CFO-readable)
- → Detailed findings across cost, security, reliability, delivery, ops
- → Per-workload cost dashboard handed off as your own
- → Prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap
- → Optional follow-on engagement scope and pricing
What changes for you
Spend transparency in two weeks
You leave the audit with cost dashboards your finance team can read — not a one-time spreadsheet.
Cost transparency without compromise
Per-workload spend, anomaly alerts, and the tagging schema to keep visibility from drifting. Average client sees 30–60% cost reduction within 90 days of acting on the roadmap.
A roadmap your board accepts
Findings are quantified — savings potential, risk reduction, and effort estimates — so funding conversations have substance.
No vendor lock-in
We are not reselling tooling. Findings come from analysis of your existing setup, not pressure to buy something.
Knowledge transfer included
The dashboards, scripts, and reports we build are yours — handed off with documentation and walk-through.
Optional follow-through
If you want help executing the roadmap, we scope it. If you don't, the audit stands on its own.
What clients say
"CloudWizz rebuilt our delivery pipeline in eight weeks. Deploys went from a Friday-night ritual to a non-event we ship four times a day."

"They turned a CFO emergency into a board-ready story in 12 weeks. The dashboards alone changed how engineering thinks about cost."

Frequently asked questions
How long does the audit take? +
Two weeks of elapsed time. Roughly 60 engineering hours from us; 5–8 hours of interviews from your side.
What access do you need? +
Read-only IAM roles in cloud accounts, repository read access, and observability viewer roles. We provide a least-privilege role definition you can review.
Will you find sensitive data? +
No — we don't read application data. The audit is configuration and metadata only. Specifically excluded scope is documented up front.
How does pricing work? +
Fixed-fee, billed at engagement start. Pricing varies with cloud account count and team size; typical range is $15–35k. Quoted after a 30-minute scoping call.
What's the deliverable format? +
Executive summary as a PDF, full findings as a structured document, and dashboards as a handover (CSV or BI tool of your choice).
What's the difference between this and your Security Audit? +
Infrastructure Audit is broad — cost, reliability, delivery, ops, plus security baseline. Security Audit is depth-on-security only, scored against a specific framework (CIS / NIST / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI). Pick this one if your driver is cost or operational; pick Security Audit if your driver is compliance or a board posture review.
Do you audit on-prem or hybrid? +
Yes. The methodology is the same; tooling differs. We bring the analysis playbook from prior hybrid engagements.
What if we find we need a much larger remediation? +
That's information, not a problem. The roadmap shows the work; you decide whether to fund it now, later, or with a different partner.
How current are your benchmarks? +
We refresh benchmarks quarterly against AWS Well-Architected, Azure WAF, GCP Cloud Adoption Framework, CIS Benchmarks, and DORA research.
Can the audit run without disrupting our team? +
Yes — that's the design. Read-only access plus 5–8 hours of interview time is the full ask of your team.
