Security

Security & Compliance

Practical cloud and platform security—identity, network, secrets, and continuous compliance— integrated into how you build and ship software, not stapled on at the end.

Executive Summary

Move from security as a blocker to security as a paved road.

We help you convert security and compliance requirements into code, guardrails, and dashboards—so teams move faster inside the lines instead of negotiating every exception.

Without a platform mindset
  • • Security reviews are ticket-driven and slow.
  • • Audit evidence gathering is painful and manual.
  • • Teams view security as “someone else’s problem.”
With security as code
  • • Guardrails embedded in pipelines and platforms.
  • • Continuous evidence instead of manual audit prep.
  • • Clear “in-bounds” defaults teams can move fast within.

Why security feels slow even in modern stacks

You can have Kubernetes, cloud-native services, and modern CI/CD—and still rely on manual security reviews, spreadsheet-based controls, and audit evidence collected at quarter-end.

The result: security is perceived as a tax, not a differentiator. Our focus is to wire security and compliance into how your platform and teams already work.

Our approach

1) Map controls to real systems

  • Align frameworks (SOC 2, ISO, PCI, HIPAA, internal) to actual platforms and services.
  • Identify where controls already exist in tools but aren’t being used as evidence.
  • Spot gaps where policy is written but not enforced by code or configuration.

2) Design opinionated guardrails

  • Standardize IAM patterns, network boundaries, and secrets management.
  • Define paved-road configurations for common workloads (web, data, internal tools).
  • Document what’s “in bounds” vs. what needs review, per risk level.

3) Implement security-as-code and continuous compliance

  • Integrate static analysis, dependency scanning, and image policies into CI/CD.
  • Use policy-as-code (e.g., OPA) to enforce and test platform-level constraints.
  • Instrument evidence collection for audits as part of regular operations.

4) Make risk and posture visible

  • Build dashboards that summarize posture by system, team, and control area.
  • Relate findings to business impact, not just technical severity.
  • Set up review cadences between security, platform, and product leads.

Key benefits

  • Faster delivery because fewer changes require bespoke security review.
  • Stronger posture through consistent, testable controls.
  • Cleaner audits with evidence produced continuously, not just at year-end.
  • Better collaboration between security, platform, and product teams.

How we typically engage

  • Security & platform assessment (2–3 weeks): map current controls and friction.
  • Guardrail & policy design (4–8 weeks): define IAM, network, secrets, and pipeline standards.
  • Implementation & enablement: integrate into platforms, pipelines, and reporting.
