Public Cloud Support

Ongoing Management and Support for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Environments

Public Cloud Support

The Defended Solutions Public Cloud Support service provides ongoing management and support for organisations that have a cloud environment in production and need it to remain secure, optimised, and operational over time. Whether your environment was built by Defended Solutions or an existing third party, the service provides a reliable support function without the need to build and maintain a large internal cloud team.

It is particularly relevant where:

  • An organisation has completed a cloud deployment and needs ongoing management and support without expanding its internal team

  • A cloud environment has grown to a point where internal teams no longer have the capacity or expertise to manage it effectively

  • A change in supplier or contract requires a new support partner to take on an existing environment

  • Regulatory or contractual obligations require evidenced, ongoing governance and security management of cloud infrastructure

What Public Cloud Support Covers

The Public Cloud Support service provides ongoing management of your cloud environment across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The following capabilities are included as standard, with service levels agreed at contract.

24/7 Infrastructure Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of your cloud environment for availability, performance, and security events, with alerting and incident response managed by the Defended Solutions team.

Security Management

Ongoing management of security controls, access policies, and configuration compliance to ensure your environment remains secure and aligned to best practice.

Patch and Change Management

Structured management of platform updates, patches, and changes, applied in a controlled manner to minimise risk and maintain stability.

Regular Reporting

Scheduled reporting on environment health, security posture, and operational performance, providing leadership with a clear and current picture of their cloud estate.

Service Desk Access

Access to the Defended Solutions service desk for incident logging, requests, and escalation, with response times agreed at contract.

Continual Service Improvement

Regular service reviews to identify opportunities to improve performance, reduce cost, and ensure the environment continues to meet evolving requirements.

Cloud environments that are not actively managed become harder to secure and more expensive to operate over time. Configurations change, patches fall behind, and without a clear owner, security posture degrades. If you need a reliable support partner for your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud environment, contact the Defended Solutions team.
