What We Build
Four practice areas. One engineering mindset.
Compliance as Code
OSCAL-native automation for modern GRC programs
Traditional compliance means Word documents and spreadsheets that are outdated the moment they're published. Security teams spend months compiling evidence for audits. Compliance status is only known during audits, never between them.
We implement compliance as engineering: machine-readable artifacts in version control, automated evidence collection, continuous validation. Audit preparation goes from months to days. Compliance becomes a property of your system, not a periodic exercise.
OSCAL Implementation
- Control catalog and baseline (profile) development
- System Security Plan (SSP) generation and automation
- Assessment plan (SAP) and results (SAR) automation
- POA&M tracking in machine-readable format
- GitOps workflows for compliance artifact management
- FedRAMP automation and ATO package preparation
Continuous Compliance
- CI/CD pipeline integration with compliance gates
- Automated evidence collection and organisation
- Real-time compliance dashboards
- Multi-framework mapping (SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST standards, and more)
- Configuration drift detection and remediation
80–90% reduction in audit preparation time. Compliance status known continuously, not annually.
DevSecOps & Cloud Security
Security embedded in how you build, not bolted on after
Security reviews as approval gates slow deployment without improving security outcomes. Disconnected scanners, siloed tools, and manual checkpoints create the illusion of security engineering without the substance.
We design developer platforms with security guardrails built in, and implement security validation directly in your pipelines. Your team ships faster because security is a capability of the platform, not a bottleneck in front of it.
Pipeline Security
- Security pipeline design and implementation
- Automated testing: SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning
- Software supply chain security (SLSA, SBOM generation)
- Infrastructure-as-code security scanning
- Secret management and credential rotation automation
- Policy-as-code with Open Policy Agent
Cloud Architecture
- Cloud security architecture across AWS, GCP, Azure
- Landing zone implementation with security guardrails
- IAM design and automation
- Kubernetes security and runtime threat detection
- Zero-trust network architecture
- Cloud-native monitoring with OpenTelemetry and Falco
Security that scales with your deployment velocity — not against it.
Quantitative Risk Management
Risk in financial terms, not heat maps
Qualitative risk assessments — red, yellow, green matrices — can't answer the questions executives actually ask: how much could this cost us? How much should we spend on controls? When everything is rated high, nothing is prioritised.
We conduct FAIR-based quantitative risk assessments that express cyber risk in financial terms: expected annual loss, loss event frequency, loss magnitude. Risk becomes a business input, not a security department artifact.
FAIR Assessment
- Scenario development and scoping
- Loss event frequency and magnitude analysis
- Monte Carlo simulation and probability distributions
- Control effectiveness modelling and ROI analysis
- Risk treatment documentation and residual risk tracking
Ongoing Programme
- Key risk indicators and continuous monitoring
- DORA and NIS2 risk management compliance
- Third-party and vendor risk assessment
- Board and audit committee reporting
- Risk appetite definition and documentation
Security investment decisions grounded in financial analysis. Risk visibility that works for the board, not just the security team.
Regulatory Compliance Programs
SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST standards, and DORA — engineered, not assembled
Most SMBs get compliance programs designed for enterprises and scaled down — which means the overhead stays and the protection doesn't materialise. Cookie-cutter control sets, manual evidence collection, policies written for an organisation that doesn't look like yours.
We build compliance programs proportionate to your actual risk profile and regulatory obligations. Engineering-focused controls. Automated evidence collection from day one. Governance structures that bridge security and the business without bureaucratic overhead.
Frameworks
- SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness and audit support
- ISO/IEC 27001 gap assessment and certification programmes
- DORA implementation for EU financial entities
- NIST standards alignment (CSF, SP 800 series)
- Multi-framework mapping to eliminate redundant work
Delivery
- Gap assessment and phased remediation roadmap
- Policy and standards documentation
- Automated evidence collection and audit packages
- Governance framework and IT/security alignment
- Audit preparation and examiner support
A compliance programme that passes audits and actually improves your security posture — not one that does only one of those things.
