Protect highly sensitive workloads with AWS Trusted Secure Enclaves.
Trusted Secure Enclaves are specialist landing zones for workloads that require strict data protection and operational security. They’re ideal for financial services, healthcare, public sector organisations and other highly-regulated industries.
- Safeguard highly sensitive and/or personal data
- Meet strict (and unique) compliance requirements
- Innovate in AWS Cloud without compromising security
- Rapidly establish secure environments so you can focus on applications and operations
Security shouldn’t stifle innovation. And you should be able to innovate without giving up control.
With Trusted Secure Enclaves from AWS, you can strike the right security/innovation balance for highly sensitive workloads.
Using this infra-as-code-based, multi-account reference architecture enhanced by Nordcloud, you can isolate highly sensitive compute and data – enabling encryption and strict access controls while leveraging the speed, scalability and agility you get from AWS Cloud.

Robust protection
Significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access and data breaches.

Faster innovation
Deploy secure, compliant operational environments in cloud in hours (not months).

Simplified compliance
Continuous monitoring and regular audits ensure compliance with GDPR, PCI-DSS and more.

More efficient SecOps
Automation and integration streamline processes, reduce manual errors and speed up response times.

Easy customisation
So it fits your specific requirements and threat landscape.

Seamless scaling
Adapt quickly to evolving needs and workload demands without compromising security.
How it works.
With the AWS design plus Nordcloud customisation, you maximise security and agility benefits – and fast.
We approach Trusted Secure Enclaves as more than just a security tool. With Nordcloud, you get a validated and vetted customised architecture that enhances AWS’ baseline architecture – incorporating lessons and experiences from working in sensitive and highly-regulated industries. We ensure it acts as the cornerstone of a proactive and robust security strategy that sets the standard for data protection. And you’re up and running in weeks.

#1 Security assessment.
This ensures the enclave meets your unique requirements. We look at data types, regulatory requirements and potential threat vectors.

#2 Design and implementation.
We develop a tailored security architecture using AWS Trusted Secure Enclaves Sensitive Edition. This involves configuring secure enclaves to isolate sensitive data and processing workloads from the rest of your cloud environment. We ensure a secure cloud environment and implement encryption at rest and in transit.

#3 Integration and automation.
We seamlessly integrate your secure enclave with a suite of AWS native services to establish a robust and unified security framework. This includes adding security workflows to ensure consistent practices, enhance scalability and accelerate incident response times.

#4 Continuous monitoring and compliance.
We use AWS native services to enable real-time detection and response to security threats, ensuring your environment remains secure. This proactive approach supports maintaining compliance with industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

#5 Upskilling.
We help train your teams on using Trusted Secure Enclaves and develop detailed, user-friendly documentation to support ongoing learning and reference.
We know AWS, cloud and security inside out.

Frequently asked questions.
Any organisation that has highly sensitive workloads or is subject to strict regulatory requirements. Finance, healthcare and public sector are common examples.
We’re certified in Trusted Secure Enclaves Sensitive Edition through the AWS Vetted Partner Program.
As part of this, we bring key elements that make your deployment a success:
- Vast and deep experience working with financial services, the public sector and critical infrastructure – Our customers include major banks, government agencies, healthcare providers, utilities and airlines. We have in-depth understanding of their data, compliance requirements and cloud environments, which means you get an informed approach based on real-world experience.
- Known for delivering value fast – As one CIO said, “Nordcloud helped us realise what we were told was an impossible vision.” Whether it’s exiting a data centre in 7 months or reducing cloud costs by 17%, we get you results.
- Engineers who know their stuff – We’re cloud-native pioneers – one of the original partners born in the cloud. With 1,000+ AWS certifications in house, our people know the ins and outs of AWS, working with you to make cloud magic happen.
The enclave is essentially a specialist landing zone with a reference architecture designed for highly regulated workloads. You get a secure, isolated starting point for leveraging AWS Cloud – while adhering to your organisation’s unique security and compliance requirements.
The enclave adapts to your unique security and compliance requirements. It secures your data through:
- Limited data access – There’s rigorous isolation and access management throughout the technology stack. Enclaves can’t access external networks, persistent storage or AWS services directly. All data must be passed through secure, controlled channels.
- Enhanced encryption – You have comprehensive encryption at rest and in transit with keys you control. Transferring data in and out of the enclave requires cryptographic attestation and custom integration.
- No direct storage access – Enclaves can’t write to or read from Amazon S3, EBS or databases directly. Secure proxies or agents must be used.
- Data format constraints – Only serialised, structured and pre-validated data pass into the enclave, minimising risk and complexity.
- Monitoring and auditing – Continuous surveillance and logging of all system activities support ongoing compliance.
- Key and secret management – Enclave applications are configured to securely retrieve and handle keys via AWS Key Management Service with attestation-based access, requiring strict policy and access control planning.
