Our team has designed network segmentation for data-warehouse programs, separating application and database tiers across development, UAT, staging, and production environments.

Project challenge

Introduce a structured data platform without allowing development, test, staging, and production workloads to collapse into a shared trust zone.

Delivery

  • The team defined separate application and database security zones by environment.
  • The team collaborated with data engineering to map flows, dependencies, access requirements, and deployment patterns.
  • The team designed routing, firewall policy, and segmentation controls around the workload lifecycle.
  • The team integrated the segmentation work into broader data-centre and infrastructure standards.

Outcome

The data platform received a clearer security boundary between environments, simplifying policy ownership and reducing unnecessary cross-environment trust.
