Custom engineering
Cloud security & DevSecOps
Cloud foundations
Set up accounts, networks, guardrails and logging correctly once, so every workload after that inherits them.
What we deliver
- Account, subscription and project structure on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
- Guardrail policies, central logging and security baselines on by default
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform, OpenTofu, Bicep or CloudFormation
- Right-sized for a startup's first production account or an enterprise with hundreds
- Deployed in the regions your obligations require, including the US and EU
Compliance built in
- Security baselines mapped to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks
- Audit logs kept in a separate, locked-down account
- Policy-as-code guardrails that block non-compliant resources before they are created
Identity & access
Most breaches start with a stolen login. We make phishing-resistant sign-in the default for people and short-lived credentials the default for machines.
What we deliver
- Single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace across cloud consoles and apps
- Passkeys and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Least-privilege roles, just-in-time admin access and break-glass accounts
- Workload identity for pipelines and services instead of long-lived keys
Compliance built in
- Periodic access reviews with records retained
- Joiner, mover and leaver changes driven from your HR system
- Privileged actions logged and alerted on
Zero trust networking
Stop treating the network as a trusted perimeter. Every connection is authenticated, authorized and logged.
What we deliver
- Identity-aware access to internal apps in place of legacy VPNs
- Private links between clouds and data centers: AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect
- Segmented networks, private endpoints and controlled outbound traffic
- Web application firewall, DDoS protection and API gateway policies
Compliance built in
- Encryption in transit everywhere, with managed certificates
- Network flow logs retained for investigations
- Regulated data kept in its own network segment
Platform engineering, containers & serverless
Give developers a paved road of templates, pipelines and environments that are secure by default, so they ship faster without a large platform team.
What we deliver
- Kubernetes on Amazon EKS, Azure Kubernetes Service or Google Kubernetes Engine
- Serverless with AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Run
- Internal developer platforms and self-service templates, for example with Backstage
- Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) with GitHub Actions, GitLab or Azure DevOps, and GitOps deployment
- Policy checks built into templates so the secure option is the easy one
Compliance built in
- Container image scanning and admission policies
- Secrets kept in a vault, never in code or pipeline settings
- Change approvals and deployment records captured in the pipeline
Software supply chain security
Know what is in the software you ship and show where it came from, a question enterprise buyers and regulators now ask routinely.
What we deliver
- A software bill of materials (SBOM) for every build
- Signed builds and artifacts, verified before deployment
- Build provenance aligned with SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts)
- Dependency, secret and code scanning in the pipeline, with triage
Compliance built in
- Alignment with the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)
- Vulnerability fixes tracked against the timelines you set
- Records that support secure development controls in SOC 2, ISO 27001 and customer questionnaires
Observability & incident response
See problems before customers report them, and have a practiced plan when something goes wrong.
What we deliver
- Metrics, logs and traces with OpenTelemetry, sent to Datadog, Grafana or native cloud tools
- Reliability targets you define, with alerts tied to them
- Security monitoring through your security information and event management (SIEM) tool
- Incident runbooks, on-call setup and post-incident reviews
Compliance built in
- Log retention set to your regulatory requirements
- Tamper-resistant audit logs
- Incident records that support breach-notification obligations
Cloud cost control (FinOps)
Know what you spend, who is spending it and why, including the fast-growing line for AI and GPU compute.
What we deliver
- Tagging, cost allocation and dashboards by team, product and customer
- Rightsizing, commitment planning and idle-resource clean-up
- AI and GPU spend tracking: model API costs, training and inference capacity
- Budgets and anomaly alerts that flag surprises before month-end
Compliance built in
- Cost guardrails enforced in policy, not only in reports
- Approval rules for high-cost resources such as GPU instances
Backup & disaster recovery
Backups you have actually restored, and a recovery plan tested before you need it.
What we deliver
- Recovery point and recovery time targets agreed with the business
- Immutable backups copied across regions and accounts
- Isolated copies to recover from ransomware
- Scheduled restore tests and recovery exercises
Compliance built in
- Recovery test results kept as evidence your auditor can use
- Business continuity documentation for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA
Cloud migration
Move each workload the way that suits it: as it is, re-platformed, rebuilt, replaced or retired.
What we deliver
- Discovery of applications, dependencies and data
- A plan per workload: move as is, re-platform, rebuild, replace with a software-as-a-service product, or retire
- Data and database migration with cutover and rollback plans
- Moves between clouds, or out of one, where that makes sense
Compliance built in
- Security controls in place in the target before any data moves
- Change records and sign-off for every migration wave
SOC 2 & ISO 27001 readiness
Turn the work above into evidence. We get you ready for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and work alongside your auditor through the review.
What we deliver
- Gap assessment against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria or ISO 27001 Annex A
- Policies, control design and a remediation plan
- Evidence collection through compliance platforms such as Vanta, Drata or Secureframe
- HIPAA and GDPR alignment, and SOX IT general controls for public companies
Compliance built in
- Controls mapped once and reused across frameworks
- Evidence organized for your auditor, with control reviews before the audit window
How we engage
Outcomes
Ready for security reviews
Clear answers and evidence for customer questionnaires and for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 auditors.
Secure by default
Guardrails, identity and pipelines that make the safe path the easy one for developers.
Spend you understand
Cloud cost visible by team and product, including AI and GPU.
Recovery you have tested
Backups restored and recovery exercised, not just configured.
Typical deliverables
- Cloud foundation built as infrastructure as code
- Identity design with single sign-on and phishing-resistant MFA
- Network and zero trust access design
- Secure delivery pipelines with SBOMs and signed builds
- Observability dashboards, alerts and incident runbooks
- Cost dashboards and an optimization plan
- Backup and recovery plan with restore test results
- Control matrix and evidence map for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA
Engagement model
- Assess
Know where you stand
A fixed-scope review of your cloud setup, security and compliance gaps. Discovery typically takes 1–2 weeks and ends with a prioritized plan.
- Build
Deliver in phased releases
Foundations, identity and pipelines typically in place as a first working release within 6–10 weeks, with further workloads and controls in phased releases.
- Run
Keep it secure and efficient
Ongoing monitoring, patching, access reviews, cost reviews and recovery tests after go-live.
Example use cases
- A seed-stage startup setting up its first AWS production account with SOC 2 in mind
- A SaaS scale-up getting ready for a SOC 2 Type II audit ahead of a large enterprise deal
- A mid-sized company replacing its VPN with zero trust access and passkeys through Microsoft Entra ID
- A health tech company building HIPAA-aligned infrastructure on Google Cloud
- An enterprise standing up an internal developer platform on Kubernetes across AWS and Azure
- A financial services firm adding SBOMs, signed builds and tested recovery to answer regulator questions
