Cloud security & compliance

Security posture assessment, architecture review, and compliance-ready configuration for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — aligned to CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR.

Cloud environments accumulate security debt differently from traditional infrastructure. The speed of provisioning that makes cloud attractive also means misconfigured resources can be created and forgotten faster than traditional asset-management processes can track. Scheduled point-in-time audits are necessary but insufficient.

Our cloud security practice is structured around a continuous-posture model rather than a periodic audit. We deploy cloud-native posture management tooling — AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or Security Command Center — and configure it against CIS Benchmark profiles for your platform and workloads. Findings are triaged, prioritised against your risk framework, and tracked to remediation.

Compliance engagements — ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI DSS — require a specific evidence-collection and documentation layer that most technical teams are not set up to maintain efficiently. We have built repeatable frameworks for each compliance regime that produce the evidence artefacts your auditor will need, running from cloud-native tooling where possible to minimise manual overhead.

Architecture review engagements are fixed-scope: a two-to-four-week assessment of an existing or planned cloud environment against a defined security standard, producing a prioritised finding register and a remediation roadmap.

Typical deliverables

  • Cloud security posture assessment against CIS Benchmarks
  • Continuous posture management tooling configuration
  • Compliance evidence framework (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR)
  • Architecture review report with prioritised finding register
  • Remediation roadmap with engineering team support

Engagement model

Security posture assessments run two to four weeks. Continuous posture management is available as a standalone retainer or bundled with managed cloud. Compliance engagements are scoped per framework and regime.
