Platform Engineering

We build and enhance cloud platforms that are secure, patched, and operationally supportable by design. Our engineering teams leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC), primarily using Terraform, alongside GitOps automation to create repeatable environments across private, community, and public clouds. By integrating LLM-augmented automation into our workflows, we accelerate the generation of compliant infrastructure code while maintaining strict human-in-the-loop governance. The result is faster provisioning, fewer configuration errors, and a platform that teams can adopt confidently across delivery programmes.

Engineering Secure Foundations

Our focus is on building "right-sized" platforms that stand up to the rigours of regulated or assured services. We provide cloud engineers, architects, and security specialists to drive infrastructure change through modern practices:

• IaC & Automation (Terraform): We treat infrastructure as a product, using Terraform to define secure, version-controlled foundations that reduce environment deployment times from days to minutes.
• GitOps Delivery Patterns: We implement repeatable platform builds where the desired state is defined in Git, ensuring consistency across AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud environments (VMware/KVM).
• LLM & Agentic Operations: We utilise LLMs to automate routine operational tasks, from generating initial Terraform modules to analysing complex log data for proactive threat detection.
• Containerisation & Kubernetes: We deliver across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, using hardened Kubernetes patterns to support multi-tenant, scalable workloads.

Security, Networking & Governance

Network and domain engineering are treated as first-class concerns. We implement software-defined secure networking patterns and controls aligned to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) objectives.

• Privileged Access & Key Management: Administrative access is secured through managed controls, auditing, and secure key management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault) to reduce risk through simplification.
• Compliance-as-Code: We support compliance against NCSC, NIST, CSA, and CIS requirements through repeatable patterns and automated validation workflows.
• Operational Integration: Platform delivery is integrated into service operations—monitoring, logging, and audit—ensuring that your CMDB and knowledge base always reflect the live environment.

Agile Delivery & Managed Squads

Our platform design and build cycles are aligned to application and security sprints through shared backlogs and integrated testing. We provide complete delivery capability, forming integrated squads that can include:

• Platform and Security Architects
• Engineering Leads and DevOps Specialists
• Service Architects and System Administrators
• Scrum Masters and Programme Managers

Our team has delivered platforms for National Critical Infrastructure (NCI), global education organisations, and high-security public sector environments, providing assured, patched, and managed services at scale.
