Overview
A major healthcare insurance provider partnered with Intuitive to modernize its IT infrastructure and accelerate cloud adoption. The client needed to replace its complex, costly on-premises systems with a secure, compliant, and scalable Google Cloud Platform (GCP) foundation. Intuitive designed and implemented a landing zone that simplified operations, improved compliance, and provided a future-ready platform for growth.
Challenges
The client’s cloud migration journey was shaped by multiple constraints that required a carefully engineered approach:
- Managing a legacy on-premises environment with years of technical debt and complexity
- Meeting strict HIPAA and HITRUST compliance requirements for healthcare data
- Migrating large volumes of data to the cloud with minimal disruption to business operations
- Conducting extensive testing and validation to ensure the landing zone functioned as intended
- Training the IT team and managing organizational change to adopt new processes effectively
Solution
Intuitive architected a secure, automated, and scalable GCP landing zone with strong governance and compliance guardrails:
- Designed a hub-and-spoke VPC topology with Cloud Interconnect for seamless hybrid connectivity
- Implemented IAM policies with MFA, RBAC, and granular access controls to protect sensitive resources
- Deployed security controls including firewall rules, network segmentation, encryption, and VPC Service Controls
- Built resource hierarchy spanning dev, test, and production environments aligned to regulatory needs
- Automated deployments using Terraform and Deployment Manager, ensuring speed and consistency
- Integrated monitoring and logging frameworks with Security Command Center and centralized log sinks for visibility and auditing
Impact
The GCP landing zone delivered measurable business and operational outcomes:
- Improved scalability and agility with a flexible foundation for future workloads
- Strengthened security and compliance posture with encryption, access transparency, and continuous monitoring
- Reduced infrastructure costs through cloud-native automation and resource optimization
- Enhanced IT team productivity with simplified management and faster provisioning
- Enabled seamless cloud adoption while ensuring resilience and audit-readiness
