Service Detail
Codified Controls and Automation
We translate complex compliance requirements into automated controls, including configuration baselines, guardrails, and policy-as-code across cloud, container, and platform layers. We codify checks against standards such as Data Protection, Cyber Essentials, NIST, and CIS to ensure that configuration, patching, and hardening become repeatable processes rather than manual activities. These controls are integrated into build pipelines and runtime monitoring, enabling automated remediation and eventing so that unauthorised changes or security incidents are surfaced and corrected immediately. This approach significantly reduces manual effort and provides a unified, cross-platform view of your security posture.
Evidence, Reporting, and Auditability
Our service generates audit-friendly outputs that satisfy stringent governance and assurance requirements. We provide control mappings, real-time dashboards, and evidence packs that can be directly reused for external audit activities or internal security reviews. By automating the capture of evidence, we simplify the path to accreditation for standards like ISO27001, making continuous compliance practical at scale across public, private, and containerised platforms. This capability ensures that exceptions are handled transparently and every control is backed by traceable, verifiable data.
Integrated Operating Model and Service Management
We deliver this service through a secure operating model defined by clear governance and measurable outcomes. Work is planned in short iterations and prioritised against your delivery roadmap to ensure alignment with business goals. Where ongoing support is required, we align with ITIL-style practices for incident, problem, and change management. This ensures that as your platform evolves, all releases, patches, and configuration changes remain controlled, auditable, and visible through regular service reporting.
Related Engineering Services
This service works in tandem with our broader engineering portfolio to provide end-to-end security. It leverages Cloud Platform Design to establish secure-by-default landing zones and CI/CD Delivery to embed compliance gates directly into the software development lifecycle. For containerised workloads, we integrate these checks with Secure Containers & Kubernetes to enforce supply-chain controls and runtime protection. Furthermore, we connect compliance eventing with Cloud SIEM as a Service to provide a coherent operational view, ensuring that compliance failures are treated as actionable security incidents within your SOC.
Onboarding, Data Handling, and Portability
We start with a structured onboarding process to confirm scope, access, security constraints, and change windows. We produce essential run artefacts, including service catalogue entries and runbooks, while agreeing on a clear handover plan. Throughout the engagement, we protect data in transit and at rest according to your retention rules. By using open tooling, documented configurations, and exportable artefacts, we ensure your solution is portable, allowing you to migrate or exit without vendor lock-in.
