Migrating to the Cloud is a strategic move and no longer just a technical initiative. Whether a startup scaling across the region or a government agency modernizing legacy IT, the cloud is the platform of choice. But your foundation and how you set up that platform can determine everything that follows.

At Bespin Global MEA, we have worked with dozens of enterprises across the region who have made the leap to Amazon Web Services (AWS). And too often, we are brought in after things start to break: misconfigured accounts, fragmented networks, visibility gaps, or unexpected compliance flags. Globally, the cost of improper cloud setups is becoming harder to ignore. Research shows that cloud misconfigurations account for 75% of cloud security failures¹, with human error contributing to the vast majority of breaches.² Misconfigured access controls, excessive permissions, and unmonitored storage buckets have led to public data exposure, regulatory penalties, and financial losses—sometimes in the millions.³ In the GCC alone, over half of recent breaches originated in the cloud, costing enterprises upwards of $2.3 million annually.⁴ The truth is, getting the cloud right isn’t just about speed, but it’s about structure. And that starts with the Landing Zone.

Think of the Landing Zone as the groundwork for everything your organization plans to build on AWS. It governs how your teams will create, connect, secure, and scale workloads. A good Landing Zone reduces friction. A weak one amplifies it. At Bespin Global, we work across both greenfield projects—where a clean, compliant AWS environment is created from scratch—and brownfield scenarios, where an existing Landing Zone requires strategic correction or modernization. In highly regulated markets like the GCC, where data residency, auditability, and secure architecture are non-negotiable, a robust Landing Zone becomes even more critical.

That’s why we developed the Bespin Holistic Landing Zone, an enterprise-grade, AWS-aligned framework designed to help customers lay down a secure, compliant, and future-proof AWS environment from the very start.
