Service Detail
Hardened Platform Engineering
We implement professional-grade containerisation using Docker and Kubernetes, underpinned by repeatable build and deployment processes. By leveraging GitOps and CI/CD Delivery, we ensure that every cluster change is versioned, reviewed, and auditable from the outset. Our platform patterns extend beyond basic installation to include secure network segmentation, robust workload identity, and integrated secrets management. We utilize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management to maintain absolute consistency across dev, test, and production environments, effectively eliminating configuration drift and the risks associated with manual "snowflake" clusters. This is vital for organisations needing to scale services rapidly while maintaining a transparent audit trail.
Continuous Security & Supply-Chain Integrity
Building on our Platform Engineering expertise, we focus on the entire container lifecycle, starting with image hygiene and supply-chain security. We implement automated scanning to ensure only trusted, vulnerability-free images reach your registry. To prevent runtime risks, we deploy admission controllers and pod security guardrails that block the execution of over-privileged or non-compliant workloads. This proactive stance is supported by runtime threat detection, which feeds security telemetry directly into our Cloud SIEM as a Service. This ensures that even if a container is compromised, the anomaly is detected and escalated to your SOC within minutes, allowing for rapid containment and mitigation.
Lifecycle Operations & Resilience
Our service covers critical Day-2 operations, including automated patching, seamless scaling, and non-disruptive cluster upgrades. We design multi-cluster and multi-cloud patterns that support high availability and geographic redundancy, backed by rigorously tested backup, restore, and disaster recovery strategies. To ensure these improvements are sustainable, we integrate with Cloud Compliance as Code to provide continuous CIS-aligned hardening and posture reporting. We focus on SRE practices, delivering comprehensive runbooks and dashboards that empower your teams to manage the platform with confidence. This ensures that your container strategy remains secure-by-default, meeting the most demanding accreditation and data protection standards.
Operating Model & Transition
We deliver via a repeatable, secure operating model that balances clear governance with agile delivery. Every engagement begins with a structured onboarding to confirm security constraints and change windows, resulting in a prioritised delivery roadmap. We produce all necessary run artefacts—including service catalogue entries and escalation paths—to ensure a clean handover to your Business as Usual (BAU) teams. Data handling is managed with strict adherence to your retention rules, ensuring data in transit and at rest is protected while you maintain full ownership. Our use of documented configurations and exportable artefacts guarantees portability, protecting you from vendor lock-in and providing the flexibility to migrate between cloud providers as your needs evolve.
