Cloud Security
Security as an architectural property of the landing zone — not a control added at go-live. Identity-first, posture-managed, and compliance-ready across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Shared responsibility
The hyperscaler secures the cloud. You secure what's in it.
Most cloud breaches aren't breaches of the platform — they're breaches of the customer's configuration, identity model, and deployment pipeline.
We make the shared-responsibility line explicit, operational, and auditable. The landing zone enforces it by construction. The observability layer proves it every hour.
The cloud
- Physical facility and network
- Hypervisor and hardware
- Managed-service runtime
- Core platform controls
Everything in it
- Identity, access, and session
- Data classification and encryption
- Network segmentation and egress
- Configuration, patching, deploys
Five control planes
Every request evaluated across all five.
No implicit trust, no long-lived credentials, no flat networks. Each plane carries a decision engine — and each decision is logged for the auditor the CISO will eventually invite in.
Identity as the control plane.
Federated SSO, MFA with phishing-resistance, just-in-time access, and short-lived credentials across every workload. IAM policies generated from code — reviewed like code.
Core controls
- SSO federation to IdP
- PIM / JIT access
- Break-glass + audit trail
- Per-service role boundaries
The secure landing zone
Security baked into
account one.
IaC-driven. Deployable in under six weeks. Any workload provisioned into it is safer before its first line of code runs than most production estates are today.

Posture management
A typical first-pass CSPM report — and what we do with it.
Most estates show hundreds of findings on first scan. The value isn't the number — it's the triage discipline that turns it into a 30-day remediation plan the engineering team will actually run.
- Publicly exposed storage with PII
- Unrotated root credentials > 365 days
- Egress to known-bad IPs detected
- Over-privileged roles with *:* policies
- Databases without at-rest encryption
- Logging disabled on production accounts
- MFA inactive for privileged identities
- Drifted IaC state vs. deployed state
- Network flow logs not centralised
Compliance accelerators
One control library.
Every framework the buyer asks for.
We pre-map the landing zone controls to every framework our clients face. One evidence cycle, many attestations. Auditors get what they need; engineers keep their calendars.

Security baked in. Audits baked in. Confidence at the board level.
Tell us the compliance envelope, the cloud mix, and the last finding that kept someone up at night. We'll come back with a posture assessment and a 30-day remediation plan.
