[Audio] This slide contains information about the project overview and our security-first approach. Our team will be implementing a lightweight landing zone on the Azure platform, specifically designed for hosting a single SQL database and webserver. Our goal is to maintain a balance between security and cost efficiency. We prioritize security in every aspect of the implementation, from network design to access controls, to ensure the protection of your data and applications from both internal and external threats. In addition to high security, our team will also design the landing zone to be scalable for future workloads, allowing it to adapt and support your changing business needs. Please continue to the next slide for more detailed information about the project..

[Audio] In this slide, we will discuss the Azure Landing Zone Architecture, which has been designed with a focus on security. To ensure clear security boundaries, we have employed subscription-level isolation. This means that each subscription is dedicated to specific resources, ensuring complete resource governance. This also allows for the separation of different environments, such as development, testing, and production, to enhance security and compliance. Our hub-and-spoke network topology further strengthens security and efficiency. The hub manages shared services such as security, monitoring, and identity, while the spokes host separate workloads for improved isolation and performance. Our defense-in-depth approach includes multiple layers of security to protect our critical assets. This includes network protection through tools like Azure Firewall, NSGs, and DDoS protection, as well as identity and access management through Azure AD, MFA, and Conditional Access. Data security is also a top priority, achieved through encryption and the use of Azure Key Vault. Additionally, our private network foundation ensures secure communication between workloads. Isolated virtual networks and controls such as Azure Private Link and VPN prevent any public exposure and ensure the security of our communication channels. Please continue to the next slide for more information on our Azure Landing Zone Architecture..

[Audio] Slide number four addresses the important topic of security measures. In the fast-paced world of internal business, having strong identity management is crucial for safeguarding company information. We integrate with Azure Active Directory, which enforces strict authentication and sign-in policies. This helps prevent unauthorized access based on different risk factors, such as device, location, and behavior. Our Role-Based Access Control system ensures that users only have access to the necessary permissions. Network Security Groups also play a vital role in implementing micro-segmentation, further enhancing network security. Our Azure Security Center provides ongoing monitoring and threat intelligence to protect your business from potential threats. Through our Azure AD integration, Conditional Access, and Multi-Factor Authentication, you can trust that your company's access controls are secure. As security is a critical matter, we have implemented these robust measures to protect your internal business..

[Audio] We will be discussing the SQL database architecture and deployment in our internal business presentation. The image shows a young man in a professional and trustworthy environment. Our SQL database deployment will utilize Azure Private Endpoint to keep all traffic within Microsoft's private backbone network, ensuring high security and efficient access for authorized applications. Our Azure SQL Database has been thoughtfully designed with a focus on security, performance, and reliability. Through private connectivity, strong data protection, and continuous access monitoring, we can ensure secure and efficient database operations, preventing unauthorized access and providing compliance and auditing capabilities. An important feature of our Azure SQL Database is the access monitoring provided by Azure SQL Audit, which tracks all database access attempts and creates detailed logs for security analysis and compliance reporting. This allows us to closely monitor any suspicious activity and take necessary measures to maintain data security. We will now move on to the next aspect of our SQL database..

[Audio] The next step in our process involves deploying a virtual machine for our webserver. This will create a secure hosting environment and allow us to install IIS for our web applications. We will use private endpoints and bastion to establish a secure connection to our private network infrastructure without exposing our setup to the public internet. One of the key features of this setup is secure authentication, which is achieved through managed identities. This eliminates the need for storing and managing credentials for the webserver and allows for seamless authentication to other Azure services without the risk of password management. The deployment of Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) is crucial for our webserver setup. It provides a flexible and secure deployment environment and integrates with our private network for added security. We have also implemented advanced measures such as Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Azure Key Vault for added threat defense and secure storage of sensitive credentials. By utilizing these technologies, our setup ensures protected access, strong security measures, and efficient management of secrets. This guarantees a secure and reliable environment for our webserver operations, providing peace of mind in our internal business operations..

[Audio] Slide number 7 out of 9 in our internal business presentation focuses on security and monitoring. This is a crucial aspect for any business, particularly when utilizing cloud environments. To ensure the safety and constant monitoring of your data, we have implemented comprehensive monitoring using Azure Monitor. This tool provides real-time visibility into performance metrics and health status, allowing you to stay ahead of any issues or concerns and take proactive measures to address them. In addition, we offer customized dashboards that display critical indicators for both the SQL database and webserver components, giving you a complete view of your system's health. Along with monitoring, our cloud environment also includes governance controls through Azure Policy. This guarantees that your organization's security requirements are strictly enforced, preventing any configuration drift and ensuring all resources maintain appropriate security settings. At Azure, we prioritize security and compliance by offering real-time monitoring, centralized logging, and proactive security assessments to continuously protect your data. By utilizing cloud native tools, we are able to detect vulnerabilities, enforce security standards, and optimize system performance to ensure a secure and resilient cloud environment for your business..

[Audio] Our implementation plan is organized into four phases, strategically designed for a secure, structured, and efficient deployment of your cloud infrastructure. Each phase builds upon the previous one to establish a strong foundation, secure database, resilient web application, and continuous monitoring for long-term stability. The second phase focuses on the database, which is essential for the overall success of your cloud infrastructure. We will take all necessary measures to ensure its protection and functionality. Before beginning the database phase, we will establish a strong foundation in the first phase, including necessary security and controls for a smooth deployment. In the third phase, we will work on the web application, a vital component where users interact with your cloud infrastructure. A resilient web application will be designed to provide a positive user experience. Finally, our implementation plan includes continuous monitoring for long-term stability. This ongoing process will maintain and improve your cloud infrastructure. Each phase has a specific time frame, with the first week dedicated to establishing a strong foundation, followed by the database setup in the second week, and concluding with the web application in the third week. This concludes our explanation of the implementation plan and next steps for your cloud infrastructure. We are committed to providing a secure, structured, and efficient deployment to ensure the success of your business..

[Audio] As we conclude this presentation, let us examine the pricing for our services more closely. The slide shows a table with the following data. Our cloud engineer has a rate of R500 per hour and has completed a total of 160 hours, bringing their total to R80 000. Our lead architect has a rate of R2 000 per hour and has completed 10 hours, bringing their total to R20 000. This gives us a total cost of R100 000, not including VAT. It is important to note that our pricing is calculated on a time and material basis, meaning we only charge for the actual time worked. Any additional hours needed to complete the project will be charged at the same rate. We appreciate your attentiveness and dedication throughout this presentation. Thank you for your time..
