Platform Governance Model
What good looks like, what is not allowed and who owns which code, written down and signed off, typically within one to four weeks.

Problem
A platform team is a hard first ask. It needs headcount, a tooling decision and agreement on whose standards win before anyone has written down what the standards are. Governance needs none of that. It answers the question your CISO and your auditor are both already asking: how does a change reach production, and who approved it?
Approach
A few short workshops with your people, built on the Cloud² governance template and fitted to you. We write the document from what you tell us, review it with you, and a named engineering owner signs it off. Typically one to four weeks in all, depending on how fast your people can meet.
Scope, teams and vendors, your VCS and pipeline landscape, and an honest look at how much still happens in the console.
Which Cloud² principles you adopt, which are yours, and the naming, tagging, module and version rules.
Environments, promotion path, approvals, separation of duties, and OIDC instead of static credentials.
Advisory, soft- and hard-mandatory tiers. What blocks an apply, and how an exception gets requested and time-boxed.
Code ownership, review rhythm, the DORA KPI set, and the ranking of your golden paths.
A Word document plus an editable policy catalogue and repo register. The handover includes a priced proposal for the platform landing zone, built from your own register.
What You Get
Purpose and scope, engineering principles, standards, a policy catalogue with enforcement levels, your regulatory position (ISO 27001 change management, NIS2, DORA ICT change and third-party rules, the Cyber Resilience Act where you ship software), identity and environments, supply-chain rules, a repo and project register, a golden-path register, RACI, exception process and review cadence.

1–4 weeks
From first workshop to signed-off document.
A few hours
A named engineering owner, a security representative, and someone who knows where the code actually lives.
Why It Matters
Three outputs turn straight into the platform. The landing zone is then priced against your own inventory, not our template.
How many VCS organizations, how many projects, which vendors. It sizes the control plane.
Which rules block an apply on day one, and which only warn.
Which blueprints and workflows ship first.
