Security & Compliance
Security in the cloud is mostly configuration, and compliance is mostly evidence. Both degrade quietly: permissions accumulate, exceptions become permanent, and the control that was implemented for an audit stops being enforced months before anyone notices. We design controls that hold their shape, and the monitoring that tells you when they stop.
What this covers
Identity and access design
Least privilege as something you can actually operate: roles scoped to real job functions, single sign-on with enforced multi-factor authentication, time-bound elevation for privileged work, and secrets in a managed store with rotation. We also build the review process, because access grows by accretion and an entitlement model without periodic review reverts to over-permissioned within a year.
Network segmentation and encryption
Segmentation that limits what a compromised component can reach, with private connectivity for internal traffic and egress controls that make outbound data movement deliberate. Encryption in transit and at rest with a documented key management story — who can decrypt what, how keys rotate, and what happens on compromise — since encryption without key custody answers little.
Control mapping for GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2
We map your technical controls to the frameworks that apply to you, and identify where the gaps are before an auditor does. The emphasis is on controls that generate evidence as a side effect of operating normally, rather than a scramble to reconstruct proof each audit cycle. We prepare readiness; we are not an audit firm and do not issue attestations.
Posture monitoring and evidence collection
Continuous checks against your defined baseline, alerting on drift — a bucket made public, a rule widened, a key past rotation — routed to somebody who can act. Evidence is collected automatically and retained, so an audit becomes a query against records you already hold rather than a project.
How the work runs
We start from your actual threat model and regulatory obligations. Generic hardening produces long checklists with weak prioritization; the controls that matter follow from what you hold, who wants it, and what you are required to prove.
Controls are implemented as code and enforced automatically wherever possible. A control that depends on people remembering is a control with a known expiry date, and the drift is rarely detected before the audit. Where a control genuinely cannot be automated, we write down who owns it, how often it runs, and what evidence it produces, so the manual ones are at least visible rather than assumed.
What you get
- A least-privilege access model with an operating review process
- Network segmentation and encryption with documented key management
- A control map against the frameworks that apply, with gaps identified
- Automated posture monitoring that alerts on drift from your baseline
- Audit evidence collected continuously rather than reconstructed
Who this is for
- Organizations preparing for a SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR assessment
- Teams whose cloud permissions have grown well past least privilege
- Groups handling regulated data across more than one cloud platform
