Most cloud security incidents start with misconfiguration or excessive permissions, not exotic attacks. We build security into your cloud foundations: least-privilege access, protected networks and data, continuous posture checks, central logging and pipelines that catch problems before deployment.
The problems Cloud Security solves.
Identity, posture management, data protection, detection and secure pipelines.
Many users and services have far more access than they need.
Storage or databases have been exposed by mistake.
Logs aren't collected centrally, so incidents are hard to investigate.
Security checks happen only before audits.
What Cloud Security covers.
Identity and access
Least privilege, single sign-on, MFA and privileged access controls.
Posture management
Continuous checks for misconfigurations against benchmarks.
Network protection
Segmentation, private endpoints, firewalls and web application firewalls.
Data protection
Encryption, key management, secrets management and data classification.
Logging and detection
Central logs, alerts and threat detection services.
Secure pipelines
Code, dependency and infrastructure scanning in CI/CD.
The cloud security basics we verify first.
Most cloud breaches come from misconfiguration and stolen credentials, not exotic attacks. These controls prevent the common ones.
| What we check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Identity | MFA everywhere, no shared admin accounts, least-privilege roles and regular access reviews. |
| Exposure | Public storage buckets, open security groups and internet-facing management ports. |
| Secrets | Keys and passwords held in a vault, rotated, and never in code repositories or environment files. |
| Logging | Audit logs centralised and retained, with alerts on high-risk events such as disabled logging or new admin users. |
| Posture management | Continuous configuration scanning with Defender for Cloud, Security Hub or Security Command Center. |
| Pipeline security | Dependency and container image scanning, signed artifacts and protected deployment credentials. |
Why it's worth it.
Smaller attack surface
Fewer permissions and exposures to exploit.
Faster detection
Central logging and alerts reveal issues sooner.
Audit readiness
Evidence of controls is available continuously.
When Cloud Security is the right move.
- Preparing for a security review or compliance assessment.
- Cleaning up access after rapid growth.
- Building a security baseline for a new cloud environment.

Hand over
Documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer to your team.
Cloud Security questions.
Can you make us compliant with a specific standard?
We implement technical controls that support frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or PCI DSS, but compliance and certification depend on your wider policies and an independent auditor.
Do you do penetration testing?
We focus on secure design and configuration. Penetration testing should be done by an independent specialist, and we can help you prepare and fix findings.
Will security slow our developers down?
Not if it's built into pipelines and defaults. Automated checks give fast feedback and avoid late surprises.
