Governance and eligibility process for Cloud and SaaS architectures
A strict assessment chain implemented (cyber, FinOps, architecture) for new solution acquisitions. Technical support provided to Procurement during tenders.
01 Challenges and context
Context and strategic stakes
To mitigate the risks of uncontrolled digitalization, a luxury sector client mandated the creation of an uncompromising organizational filter (Cloud Center of Excellence) to govern the acquisition of any new Cloud or SaaS platform by business units. The challenge was to ensure that each technology adhered to stringent specifications (data classification, IAM, cybersecurity, FinOps profitability) without paralyzing the IT Procurement Department's innovation and acquisition cycle.
02 Work carried out
Approach and methodology
We defined and documented the company's essential standards for architecture, sensitive data classification, cybersecurity, and financial profitability. These standards were translated into a rigorous analysis process, supported by evaluation grids and validation templates to standardize the approach. From this point, every technological solution requested by a business unit had to pass through the steps of this review.
