About

We Build and Run AWS Environments

For teams with nobody owning the cloud, and for companies whose infrastructure has to hold up when someone checks it. Plenty of clients arrive as the first and turn into the second.

What We Do

Most of the work sits below the application: the AWS organization structure, the guardrails, who can reach what, where the logs land, and what any of it costs. We own that layer and keep it current as the business changes around it. Clients who want their workloads covered as well get monitoring, patching, and incident response on top, around the clock.

Compliance is not a separate engagement here. Control evidence accumulates while the environment runs, so when an assessor asks how something is enforced, you can show them.

How the Practice Is Built

The decisions behind how we work, and what each one costs us.

One Cloud, Known Properly

AWS is the whole practice. Your guardrails, cost model, and compliance evidence all come from people who work on this platform every day. It also means fewer surprises when somebody reviews it.

Compliance Is the Default, Not an Add-On

Control mapping, evidence collection, and drift detection are included from the entry tier up. Most providers quote this separately, as a specialism. We build every environment this way, whether you are chasing a SOC 2 report or a federal authorization.

You Work With the Engineer

The person who scopes your environment is the person who builds it and the person who answers when it pages. Nothing is relayed through an account manager to a delivery team you never meet.

Everything Stays in Your Accounts

Infrastructure defined as code in your repository, running under your AWS organization, monitored with AWS-native and open source tooling. There is no console of ours holding your configuration and nothing to export if you leave.

What We Get Called For

The situations people usually call us about.

An authorization with a date on it

An assessment, ATO, or audit is scheduled, and the environment was not built against the control set it will be measured on.

A security questionnaire holding up a deal

A HECVAT or vendor assessment is sitting with procurement, and the infrastructure and hosting sections need answers drawn from a live environment.

An engineering team doing infrastructure on the side

Nobody owns the cloud, so it belongs to whoever last touched it. Deploys work without being repeatable, spend is drifting, and a customer has started asking security questions.

A validated system that has to change

A GxP environment needs modernizing, and every release currently carries a documentation cost that makes shipping expensive.

A bill nobody can attribute

Spend is growing faster than usage, and mapping it back to teams or workloads takes a manual exercise every quarter.

An environment whose builders have moved on

The people who made the original decisions have left, the reasoning was never written down, and changes have become risky to make.

Where We Stop

Three things we do not take on, and who to talk to instead.

Assessment stays independent

We are not an assessor or a 3PAO. We build environments and produce evidence; your assessor forms the opinion and you hold the authorization. For several frameworks that separation is required.

Security operations have a boundary

We triage and respond to findings in your AWS environment around the clock. Where your obligations call for a dedicated security operations centre, we will say so and help you choose one.

One cloud

AWS exclusively. If a meaningful part of your estate lives elsewhere, we will point you toward providers who cover it properly.

Want to talk it through?

Bring the environment you have, the control set you answer to, and any dates you are working toward. We will tell you plainly what it takes.
