Police Assured Landing Zone (PALZ)

Secure, Compliant, and Scalable Cloud Foundations for UK Policing.

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.
