Police Assured Landing Zone (PALZ)
For UK police forces, the move to the cloud is no longer just about storage—it is about enabling a modular, flexible technology estate that supports the National Policing Digital Strategy. However, the path to a secure cloud environment is often blocked by complex compliance requirements and the need for rigorous security guardrails.
Mobilise delivers a comprehensive Police Assured Landing Zone (PALZ) solution. We provide a “secure by design” multi-account environment, fully aligned with the Police Digital Service (PDS) and National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) standards, ensuring your force can innovate with confidence.
The Challenge: Navigating Policing Compliance
Building a cloud environment from scratch in a highly regulated sector is fraught with risk.
Many forces encounter the same critical hurdles:
- Complex Regulatory Blueprints: Keeping pace with evolving PDS Blueprints and NCSC Cloud Security Principles can stall digital transformation.
- Security & Data Sovereignty: The sensitivity of law enforcement data requires stringent detective and preventative guardrails that go beyond standard cloud configurations.
- The “Build-as-You-Go” Trap: Manual, fragmented setups often lead to inconsistent security postures, high operational overheads, and “cloud bill shock.”
- Specialist Skills Gap: Internal teams may lack the niche expertise required to architect a landing zone that integrates seamlessly with the National Management Centre (NMC) and the required Cloud services with secure configuration.
The Solution: A Foundation Built for Policing
Mobilise simplifies cloud adoption by deploying a production-ready, automated environment that is assured from day one. Our PALZ delivery model removes the guesswork, allowing you to focus on frontline operational value.
- Automated Governance: We utilise Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to deploy your landing zone on AWS. This ensures a repeatable, error-free environment with built-in governance and centralised auditing.
- PDS-Aligned Security: Every deployment includes pre-configured guardrails that mirror PDS-approved designs, providing a secure baseline for all development, testing, and production workloads.
- Operational Readiness: We don’t just hand over the keys. We integrate your environment with existing identity management and security operations, ensuring a cohesive and manageable estate.
- Knowledge Transfer: Through our Cloud Enablement framework, we upskill your internal teams, providing the training and documentation needed for long-term self-sufficiency.
Key Outcomes
Day-One Compliance: Accelerate your journey with an environment that is fully aligned with national policing standards from the moment of deployment.
Reduced Risk: Built-in preventative controls mitigate common risks and ensure your security posture remains robust as you scale.
Cost Management: Benefit from centralised billing and resource tagging, enabling your force to monitor and optimise cloud spend effectively.
Speed to Market: Reduce lead times for new projects by “vending” fully compliant accounts network ready in minutes rather than weeks.
