Move to the cloud. Leave the risk behind.

GABCO Enterprises plans, migrates and secures cloud environments on Microsoft Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365. Security and cost are designed in from the start, so your move to the cloud reduces risk instead of adding to it.

Overview

What is included

  • Cloud readiness and migration planning
  • Microsoft Azure and AWS architecture
  • Microsoft 365 setup, migration and hardening
  • Identity with Microsoft Entra ID and Okta
  • Conditional access and multi factor authentication
  • Backup for Microsoft 365 and cloud workloads
  • Data residency and outsourcing documentation
  • Cloud cost reviews and optimisation

The cloud gives Cayman organisations enterprise grade infrastructure, resilience and security without owning hardware on island. But it changes how systems are secured, managed and paid for. Without a plan, organisations end up with higher bills, weaker controls and blurred accountability.

GABCO Enterprises designs, migrates and manages environments on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft 365. Security, identity, backup and cost control are built into the design from day one, so the cloud becomes a stable foundation, not a new source of risk.

For regulated organisations, moving to the cloud is also an outsourcing decision. We document data locations, provider controls and oversight arrangements, ready for auditors, clients and CIMA.

Who it is for. Organisations moving servers or applications to the cloud. Businesses already there that want tighter security or a smaller bill. Regulated entities that must show oversight of their cloud providers.

Field notes

What most firms don't know about Cloud

Facts and practices that rarely make it into a proposal, but decide how well the work holds up.

14days

Microsoft 365 is not a backup

Exchange Online keeps deleted items recoverable for 14 days by default, extendable to 30. Under Microsoft's shared responsibility model, keeping your own copy is your job.

93days

The SharePoint recycle bin has a hard limit

Deleted SharePoint and OneDrive files sit in the recycle bins for 93 days, then are gone for good. Ransomware that encrypts files in place is not undone by the recycle bin at all.

72%

Committed use can cut compute costs sharply

Azure reservations and AWS Savings Plans can save up to 72% against pay as you go prices for steady workloads. Most cloud bills we review have never used them.

Outis billed

Moving data in is free; moving it out is not

Cloud providers charge egress fees for data leaving their network. A large restore, or a move to another provider, has a real cost that belongs in the plan.
