Control surface · AWS Landing Zone Accelerator

AWS Control Tower,
finally under control.

Stand up a new landing zone, or vend, manage, migrate and close accounts in an existing one. Map tenant access and prove compliance — live NIST 800-53 posture, OSCAL reports and POA&Ms. With AI that drafts the work — even your policies — and two-way Jira sync to track it. Every change ships as a reviewed pull request, without ever opening the AWS console.

The Control Surface For AWS Landing Zone Accelerator
The old way

A landing zone is governed by code. Operating it by hand is the bottleneck.

AWS Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator put your whole org into YAML — then leave you to edit it by hand, across seven files, behind a maze of consoles.

▲ Without TowerControls

  • ✕ Hand-edit accounts-config, iam-config, security-config… and hope the schema is right.
  • ✕ Click through the AWS console across Organizations, IAM, Identity Center, Control Tower.
  • ✕ Catch mistakes only after a 45–90 min pipeline run fails.
  • ✕ Audit drift and readiness by hand, account by account.
  • ✕ Run a cross-org migration off a bespoke 90-day runbook.

◆ With TowerControls

  • ✓ Fill a form. It writes valid YAML and opens the pull request for you.
  • ✓ One control surface reads it all, cross-account, read-only.
  • ✓ Validates before the pipeline — schema errors caught up front.
  • ✓ Drift, readiness and SCP slots on demand, in one click.
  • ✓ The migration runbook is the app: inventory → move → baseline → enroll.
One control surface

See everything. Propose anything. Touch nothing without your merge.

01 · SEE

Live state, read-only

Accounts, OUs, roles, groups, SCP slots, declared-vs-live drift, account readiness, and the live pipeline — assumed cross-account with least-privilege read access.

02 · PROPOSE

Every change is a PR

New accounts, access grants, migrations — each renders the exact YAML diff, dry-runs first, then opens a feature-branch pull request. Append-only guardrails, fully audited.

03 · MERGE

The human owns the gate

TowerControls never merges and never starts the pipeline. You review the branch, you merge to main, and the Accelerator pipeline does the rest.

The real consoles

Operate the org — and prove it's compliant.

AI-guided wizards walk every account action, and an AI-graded compliance scorecard turns each failing control into a one-click fix.

Everything it does.

SET UP & RUN

Stand up the zone, then run it

Stand up a brand-new Control Tower landing zone — Day-0 prerequisites through launch — then vend, manage, migrate and close accounts in it. Every action renders the exact YAML diff, dry-runs first, and opens a reviewed pull request.

  • New landing zone: preflight → cost → launch
  • Vend accounts with justification + caps
  • Assign roles & groups; tenant access
  • Guided closure checklist + dry-run
payments-prod→dry-run ✓→PR #128 opened→you merge
ACCESS

Identity & tenant access

Map who gets what, across accounts, declaratively.

  • LZA-provisioned roles & groups
  • SCIM group → permission set → accounts
  • Grant a tenant dev + prod in one step
  • Append-only, never edits in place
ASSURANCE

Drift, readiness, SCP

Prove the zone is what the config says it is.

  • Declared-vs-live drift detection
  • Post-provision readiness checks
  • SCP slots per OU (5-limit aware)
  • Undeclared-account flagging
MIGRATION

Two-org account moves

The cross-org runbook, turned into guided steps.

  • Inventory → Move → Baseline → Enroll
  • FISMA-High baseline controls
  • Control Tower enrollment checks
  • Dry-run every phase first
OPERATIONS

Pipeline & assist

Watch the machine and understand failures.

  • Live Accelerator-Pipeline status
  • Per-stage AI failure analysis
  • Scheduled post-pipeline auto-verify
  • Email summary of every check
TRUST

Audit & reversibility

Nothing happens off the record.

  • Every apply logged to an audit trail
  • Snapshot + one-click revert
  • Writes off until you flip them on
  • Per-tab built-in help
AI & integrations

An expert sits in the console. Your tracker stays in the loop.

TowerControls drafts the work, explains the failures in plain English, and keeps Jira in sync — and it still never merges without you.

AI · AUTOFILL

Describe your org — it fills the form

Type one sentence about your organization and Amazon Bedrock drafts the whole landing-zone plan into the form: home region, governed regions, Security & Sandbox OUs, Log Archive and Audit accounts, and log-retention windows — tightened automatically when you hint at gov or regulated workloads. Every field stays editable, and if AI is off it falls back to a sensible starter plan you can still ship.

AI · ASSISTANT

An assistant on every screen

Open the assistant from any screen and ask in plain English — how the console works, how to do a task, or what a finding means and exactly how to remediate it. When an Accelerator-Pipeline stage fails, one click runs a Bedrock analysis of the error. Scoped to your account and read-only: it advises, you act.

JIRA · 2-WAY SYNC

Work tracked where your team lives

Connect Jira Cloud or Server/DC and every account vend, migration, or closure can open a tracked ticket — labelled, linked to the work item, and updated as it moves. Flag a ticket for the app to pick up, or approve a change with a Jira label, and the loop closes both ways. Polling-based with no inbound webhook, and it degrades gracefully when it isn't configured.

Security & compliance

Prove it, continuously — against NIST 800-53.

Read live posture from Security Hub, track and remediate the findings, and generate the audit package — POA&Ms, policies and OSCAL — without leaving the console.

NIST 800-53 POSTURE

Live posture & scorecard

The Migrate → Baseline phase turns on Security Hub's NIST 800-53 Rev 5 standard; TowerControls reads what that continuous scanning produces — across every account, from the Audit aggregator — and turns it into a report you can actually see.

  • Overall score + pass / fail counts
  • Severity & control-family breakdown
  • Top failing controls, ranked
  • AI remediation with a safety rating
Security Hub→121 requirements→score 84%→12 to fix
POA&M

Track every remediation

A Plan of Action & Milestones item per failing control.

  • Owner, target date, lifecycle status
  • Created from a control in one click
  • Export & two-way sync to Jira
POLICIES

AI-written policy docs

One NIST policy per family-head control — AC-1, AU-1, …

  • AI drafts it from your live context
  • Review, edit, approve cycle
  • The standard FISMA policy set
OSCAL REPORTS

The audit package, generated

Your SSP, SAR and POA&M, from live posture.

  • OSCAL 1.1.2 documents
  • Structurally validated
  • Plus a plain posture report
ARTIFACTS

Third-party evidence

The human evidence auditors ask for, tracked beside the AWS foundation.

  • Pen tests, 3PAO / SOC 2, DR, IR tabletops
  • NIST control coverage + freshness window
  • Link to where the report lives
TOWER STATUS

An AI grade of the whole zone

Bedrock judges the live environment — landing zone, guardrails, shared accounts, FISMA posture — and says what's deployed, compliant, and not.

Modular by design

A suite of security & compliance controls — and it doesn't stop there.

Everything you've just seen is modular. Use the controls you need, skip the ones you don't, or plug a new panel, wizard or whole flow into the console. The point is simple: everyone gets exactly what they need to do their job — without ever touching the AWS console.

PICK

Use only what fits

Mix in the controls and flows your org actually runs — account ops, migration, NIST posture, policies, evidence — and leave the rest out.

PLUG IN

Extend any flow

Any part of the console — a panel, a guided wizard, an entire track — can plug in. Need something that isn't here yet? Just tell us, and we'll design it around your org.

FOR EVERYONE

Access without the console

Give every team exactly the slice they need — developers, security, auditors, leadership — each on a surface built for them, never in the raw AWS console.

How it stays safe

Safety in the machine. The human owns the merge.

TowerControls writes to a feature branch and stops. It never merges, and it never starts the pipeline — your merge to main is the only release gesture.

Time saved

The pipeline still takes 45–90 minutes. Your people don't have to.

The machine time is fixed. What TowerControls gives back is the human time around it — schema-hunting, console-clicking, hand-auditing, and runbook-wrangling. Move the sliders.

Volumes & per-task minutes are editable estimates — tune them to your org. The fixed anchors are sourced from AWS: pipeline runs of 45–90 min and cross-org migrations needing a ~90-day assessment and staged runbook.
