Security companies get held to the standard they sell. Your customers' security teams read your SOC 2 report before they read your pricing page, and every control gap becomes a procurement delay. The hard part isn't knowing what good looks like — your team already does. It's proving it across every server, every release, every day, without slowing engineering down.
That's an infrastructure problem, and it's the one we solve.
What this looks like in practice
Compliant baselines, automated
CIS-benchmarked server builds applied from code, so a new instance is compliant the moment it exists — not after someone remembers to harden it.
Pipelines an auditor can read
CI/CD with enforced review, traceable artefacts, and a deployment history that answers 'who changed what, when' without a spreadsheet.
Evidence that collects itself
Logging, monitoring, and access controls wired so evidence is a by-product of running the system, not a scramble before the audit window.
Fleet-wide consistency
Configuration management that keeps tens or hundreds of servers identical, so one hardened box doesn't drift away from the rest.
Implemented new infrastructure to support SOC 2 compliance across a 70+ server fleet. Built baseline automation with Chef and Ubuntu Pro to deliver CIS-compliant environments and a robust CI pipeline, streamlining development and releases for the engineering team. Also audited AWS spend, cutting resource requirements by 20% with no impact to uptime or SLAs.

Why security teams come to us
- An enterprise deal is gated on SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and the certification date is now a revenue date
- The fleet has grown past the point where hardening can be verified by hand
- Compliance controls have been bolted on, and engineers now route around them to ship
- Cloud spend is climbing, but nobody will touch it in case something in scope breaks
- The team knows what needs doing and simply doesn't have the hours
Compliance work that fights your engineers doesn't survive first contact with a deadline. If a control can be satisfied by automation instead of a checklist someone has to remember, it holds — and that's what an auditor sees twelve months later.
How we work
Audit
We map the fleet, the pipeline, and the controls — and separate what's genuinely non-compliant from what's just undocumented.
Automate
Compliant baselines and CI/CD built from code, so the standard is enforced by the system rather than by discipline.
Operate
Monitoring, evidence collection, and cost control that keep holding after the certificate is issued.
Discretion
We work with security-sensitive clients, so our engagements are published by sector with the client name withheld. That's deliberate. The same discretion applies to you — we protect our clients' details the way we'd protect yours.
If you want the specifics, ask us directly. We'll walk you through the relevant work in a conversation about your own — which is the appropriate place for it, rather than a public web page.
Yes. We handle the infrastructure and evidence side, and work to whatever your auditor has scoped. We're not an audit firm and we don't issue the report — we build the environment that passes it.
No. Most of the work goes into the pipeline and the server baselines, which is exactly where it stops being a tax on delivery. In the SOC 2 engagement above, the CI pipeline came out faster than what it replaced.
It's sequenced. Low-risk waste — idle resources, oversized instances, forgotten environments — gets removed first, and anything touching a control in scope is handled separately with evidence. That's how the 20% reduction above happened without an SLA impact.
