Cloud & Infrastructure Consulting
Most cloud estates are not short of security tooling. They are short of security that operates: alerts somebody actually triages, detections tuned to the systems that exist, and a pipeline that catches a vulnerable dependency before production does. We build security as an operating capability, inside the platforms and pipelines your engineers already use.
A log and event pipeline sized for your estate, whether that is a SIEM or the cloud-native stack, with detections written for your actual services rather than a vendor's defaults. The measure of success is fewer, better alerts: every page that fires is one a human should see, and the noise that trains people to ignore alerts is engineered out.
Runbooks with named owners for the incidents you are most likely to meet, containment steps that are rehearsed rather than improvised, and the logging in place beforehand so an investigation has something to investigate. We run tabletop exercises with your team, because the middle of an incident is the wrong time to meet your process.
Dependency, container and static analysis wired into CI where engineers already work, with gates tuned so delivery does not stall: block on what is exploitable and reachable, report the rest. Secrets scanning on every push, and short-lived credentials in the pipeline itself so there is nothing standing to steal.
You cannot defend what you cannot enumerate. Signed artifacts, provenance for what you build, a bill of materials for what you ship, and admission rules so only what you built runs in production. Done with the platform's own primitives wherever possible, so it survives after we leave.
Scanners find thousands of findings; programmes fail at deciding which ten matter. We prioritise by exploitability and exposure, route each item to an owner in the tools your teams already use, and measure closure rather than discovery. The backlog trends down or the process is wrong.
Service-to-service authentication with short-lived workload identities instead of long-lived shared secrets, segmentation that reflects how systems actually talk, and access that follows from identity and context rather than network position. Built incrementally, one system at a time, so nothing breaks on a flag day.
Common questions
It depends on your estate and obligations. A single-cloud company can often go a long way on the provider's native logging, detection and query tooling before a SIEM earns its licence cost. Multi-cloud estates, regulated environments and teams with a real SOC usually justify one. We assess against what you run and what you must prove, and we have no reseller stake in the answer.
By separating blocking from reporting. The pipeline blocks only on findings that are exploitable in your context, with everything else reported asynchronously and routed to owners. Scans run on cached layers and changed paths so the added minutes stay low, and the gate rules live in code where engineers can read them.
Yes. Immediate work is containment, evidence preservation and a clear factual timeline. After stabilisation we run the post-incident review, fix the paths that were exploited, and build the detections and runbooks that turn the incident into preparedness rather than a recurring event.
Security & Compliance is about structure: IAM and least privilege, policy as code, audit readiness and control evidence. Cybersecurity & DevSecOps is about operations: detecting and responding to threats, and securing the software delivery pipeline itself. Estates usually need both, and the two engagements share a foundation, but they answer different questions.
The goal is that a leaked pipeline log or a compromised runner yields nothing durable. Short-lived, identity-based credentials instead of stored keys wherever the platform supports it, a managed secrets store for what remains, scanning on every push so a committed secret is caught in minutes, and rotation that is routine rather than an emergency.
