Secure Cloud Environments
Move to the cloud, or tidy up what is already there, without opening new doors to attackers. You get Azure, AWS and Google Cloud environments designed, built and run securely, with evidence for your auditors.
Service Details
A secure cloud environment lets you use Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) without leaving data exposed or access uncontrolled. You get an estate designed with security in place from the start, hardened against misconfiguration and monitored day to day, whether you are migrating for the first time or fixing years of unplanned growth.
We combine architecture, engineering and assessment services into one programme shaped around your risk and regulatory needs. It is one of our solutions, which bring several services together around a single business outcome.
INFO
Most cloud breaches start with a customer-side misconfiguration, not a failure by the provider. Secure baselines and regular posture reviews close that gap.
Security your business can follow
Cloud security is full of jargon. We explain each decision in terms of risk, cost and what it lets your business do, so leaders and engineers agree on priorities.
You can take on a full cloud transformation or a focused hardening project. Either way, the design matches your risk appetite and the regulations you answer to.
Zero trust
Every access request is checked, wherever it comes from. No user or device is trusted by default, inside or outside your network.
Least privilege
People and services get only the access they need, so one compromised account cannot unlock the rest of your estate.
Risk and reward
Security spend is tied to the risks it reduces and the opportunities a trusted platform opens up, such as regulated clients and new markets.
How the services fit together
The map below shows how a typical engagement runs, from understanding your needs to a secure deployment. Each linked step is a service you can also buy on its own.
Built from services you can choose
You can take the full solution, pick the parts you need or start with a single service. Typical building blocks include:
Security baselines: secure default settings and policies for Azure, AWS and GCP, run day to day through our cloud security service.
Access control: identity and access management with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and central control over who can reach what.
Posture monitoring: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools that watch your estate and flag misconfigurations before they can be exploited.
Secure pipelines: CI/CD security so code reaches production through checked, controlled routes.
You keep the speed and flexibility of the cloud, and your estate stays compliant and hardened as it grows.
Compliance designed in
Regulation is treated as a design requirement, not a check at the end. Our cloud security architecture work builds the controls that UK GDPR and PCI DSS expect, such as encryption, access control and logging, into the platform itself.
Not sure where you stand? A security posture review is usually the fastest way to set a baseline before hardening begins. Our compliance support team then turns the results into evidence for your auditors.
Enclaving your most sensitive workloads
Enclaving keeps your most sensitive data and systems in separate, locked-down network segments. If an attacker gets in elsewhere, they cannot reach what matters most. Only authorised users, devices and services can enter an enclave, and everything else is blocked by default.
It applies zero trust and micro-segmentation to the cloud. Instead of one flat network where a single stolen password opens every door, an incident stays inside the segment where it started. For payments, client data and core intellectual property, it is one of the most effective controls you can put in place.
Our risk management assessments show which assets justify an enclave. Our engineers then build and maintain the segments, access routes and monitoring around them.
A legacy app, rebuilt without the risk
We rebuilt an unsupported legacy application as a secure cloud-native repository: plaintext credentials removed, public exposure closed and running costs down 85%. Old software does not have to stay a standing risk or a standing bill.
Who this suits
Secure cloud environments work well for regulated firms in financial services and insurance, and for private equity portfolio companies that need a dependable platform before they scale. If your estate also needs day-to-day running, pair it with our managed services.
