Architecture and design
We start with a current-state review — what you own, what it actually protects, and where the overlaps and gaps are — then produce a target architecture with a phased, budget-aware implementation path.
- Security control gap assessment mapped to CIS Controls and NIST CSF.
- Zero-trust and network segmentation design, including east-west traffic control.
- Identity and access architecture: MFA, privileged access, least-privilege role design.
- Secure cloud landing zones for AWS and hybrid estates, designed by AWS-certified architects.
- Reference designs, runbooks and handover documentation your team keeps.
Perimeter, application and email defence
Implementation is done by the engineers who designed it, with change control, rollback plans and validation testing at every step.
- Next-generation firewall deployment, rule-base rationalisation and policy hygiene reviews.
- Web application firewall (WAF) tuning to block real attack traffic without breaking the application.
- Secure web gateway and proxy deployment for outbound control and content inspection.
- Email security and anti-phishing hardening with Proofpoint and Forcepoint platforms.
- Data loss prevention policy design so sensitive records cannot quietly leave the business.
Container and Kubernetes security
Our Certified Kubernetes Administrators and Certified Kubernetes Security Specialists secure the whole pipeline, not just the cluster.
- Cluster hardening against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark.
- RBAC design, namespace isolation and network policy enforcement.
- Admission control, image signing and registry scanning in CI/CD.
- Secrets management and runtime threat detection for containerised workloads.
- DevSecOps pipeline integration — SAST, DAST, dependency and IaC scanning as gates, not afterthoughts.
Patch and vulnerability management
A vulnerability programme only works when it is continuous and owned. We build the scanning, prioritisation and patch workflow — and the reporting that shows risk actually going down month over month.
- Authenticated vulnerability scanning across servers, endpoints, network devices and cloud.
- Risk-based prioritisation using exploitability and asset criticality, not raw CVSS alone.
- Automated patch orchestration with Ivanti endpoint management and maintenance-window planning.
- Exception handling, compensating controls and SLA tracking per asset owner.
- Executive dashboards showing mean time to remediate and residual risk trends.
Frequently asked questions
Do you resell the security products too?
Yes. We hold vendor relationships across major security and networking manufacturers and can supply, licence, deploy and support the stack — or work purely as engineers on hardware you already bought.
Can you work alongside our internal IT team?
That is the normal model. We design and implement with your team in the room, then hand over documentation and training so operations stay in-house.
Where should an organisation with limited budget start?
Asset visibility, MFA on all remote access and privileged accounts, disciplined patching, tested backups and endpoint detection. Those five deliver more risk reduction per shilling than anything else.
