The Challenge

Using public cloud for classified workloads

The client needed to develop and operate systems handling highly classified defense information using public cloud infrastructure. This required meeting strict information classification, architecture and design within AWS' concept Trusted Secure Enclaves, and strictsecurity controls across all technologies, all enforced thru modern development practices, automation and CI/CD pipelines.

The Solution

Trusted Secure Enclaves for classified cloud workloads

ANZR developed a Trusted Secure Enclave architecture on AWS, combining network isolation, identity controls and layered security mechanisms aligned with classification requirements. The solution included hardened CI/CD pipelines, controlled access models and automated enforcement of security policies. Architectural decisions balanced public cloud capabilities with strict regulatory and classification constraints, enabling compliant development and operations. ANZR worked closely with security and compliance stakeholders to ensure traceability, auditability and alignment with applicable security frameworks, making secure use of public cloud feasible for classified workloads.

  • Deep understanding of classification requirements
  • Layered security and enclave design
  • Hardened CI/CD with strong access controls
  • Close alignment with compliance stakeholders
