Service Detail

Architecture and Design Foundations

We design secure, cost-effective cloud platforms built upon a clear reference architecture, focusing on landing zones, network and identity patterns, and robust non-functional requirements. By structuring designs using recognised architecture phases—such as TOGAF-style frameworks—we ensure complete coverage from high-level strategy through to granular technology design. This holistic approach captures requirements and constraints to design target architectures that prioritise continuity, disaster recovery, data protection, and cross-platform security. Whether implementing across AWS, Azure, GCP, or sovereign environments, our designs align with best practice standards including GDS, ISO, and CIS.

Resilience, Performance, and Modernisation

Our expertise supports migrations and platform modernisation through the strategic use of Kubernetes, containers, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). We unify disparate technologies and multiple suppliers into a coherent, manageable roadmap that reduces operational complexity. By designing for elasticity, availability, and observability, we include capacity assumptions, failure modes, and operational monitoring patterns. This ensures platforms scale predictably and recover gracefully from incidents, providing a stable foundation for digital transformation while delivering better operational quality.

Operating Model and Delivery Approach

We deliver services via a repeatable, secure operating model with clear governance and measurable outcomes. Work is prioritised against your delivery roadmap in short iterations, designed for a clean handover into Business as Usual (BAU). Onboarding is structured to confirm scope, access, and security constraints, producing run artefacts like service catalogues and runbooks. For ongoing support, we align with ITIL-style practices for incident, problem, and change management, ensuring all patches and configuration changes remain auditable and controlled.

Security, Data, and Portability

Security is embedded in every design: least privilege access, auditable pipelines, automated checks, and policy-as-code controls. We map controls to the frameworks you work within—such as Cyber Essentials, NIST, or CIS—and produce evidence you can reuse for assurance and governance. We minimise and protect data in transit and at rest, following your retention rules while ensuring you retain ownership. Our designs prioritise portability through automation and documented configurations, allowing you to migrate, re-host, or exit without vendor lock-in.
