The Turnkey Security and Landing Zone Architecture (TKSA/LZA) is a multi-tenant, cloud-native security and automation framework designed to rapidly deploy secure, compliant environments for federal agencies. Built with 100% Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), TKSA/LZA enables ATO-ready cloud deployments in under tw- hours, providing a governance-driven, scalable, and Zer- Trustocompliant security architecture for workloads at Impact Levels (IL) 4, 5, and 6.
Key Features & Benefits:
-Rapid Ato Acceleration. Pre-configured security policies and compliance templates reduce Authorization to Operate (ATO) timelines by months.
-Zer- Trust Architecture (ZTA) Compliance. Implements continuous authentication, micro-segmentation, and leastoprivilege access across all cloud environments.
-Automated Provisioning & Governance. Leverages AWS Control Tower and Organizational Units (OUs) to enforce security policies, impose resource usage limits, and monitor compliance in real time, creating a cloud-within-a-cloud that enhances scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
-Multi-Tenant Cloud Environment. Provides segregated, mission-driven cloud tenants with full automation, eliminating manual security configuration and maintenance.
-Pre-Filled ATO/CPTC Paperwork & Playbooks. Templates and automated workflows streamline security accreditation and connection processes, ensuring rapid deployment in AWS GovCloud and Classified Regions.
-On-Demand, Fully Automated Infrastructure. Eliminates the need for manual infrastructure provisioning, allowing agencies to spin up secure environments within minutes.
-CostoOptimized & Consumption-Based Model. Agencies pay only for active workloads, reducing waste and improving financial transparency.
Mission-Driven Security at Scale
TKSA/LZA is proven in real-world deployments, including its successful implementation within DISA's Office of the Chief Data Officer (OCDO) Data Lab, where it established a fully automated, Zer- Trustoenabled analytics ecosystem. By standardizing security, governance, and automation across cloud environments, TKSA/LZA eliminates security bottlenecks, reduces technical debt, and enhances mission agility for agencies seeking secure cloud modernization.
To-Be
The TKSA/LZA was deployed into the DISA/JWCC AWS GovCloud account and operationally ready in less than a day after the account was provided. Maintenance costs are reduced by 50% as n- server infrastructure must be maintained and tenant provisioning is fully automated with integration into ServiceNow
Stakeholders
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The TKSA/LZA is ATO'd and providing a fully cloud-native and serverless security architecture for the DISA OCD- Data Lab.
