Security
Cloud Security
Cloud security is the protection of sensitive data, applications, and infrastructure from unauthorized access, theft, and misuse through the use of various security measures, such as encryption, MFA, and VPN.
Cloud security measures and practices used to protect data and applications hosted in the cloud from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. As more and more organizations move their data and applications to the cloud, it's becoming increasingly important to ensure that these assets are secure.
What's involved
How we approach Cloud Security
- 01
Access control
This involves controlling who has access to data and applications hosted in the cloud, and what actions they can perform. This can include implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication, and using role-based access controls.
- 02
Encryption
This involves using cryptographic techniques to protect data both in transit and at rest. This can include encrypting data stored in the cloud, as well as encrypting data as it moves between the cloud and other systems.
- 03
Network Security
This involves protecting the network infrastructure that connects the cloud to other systems and devices. This can include using firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs).
- 04
Compliance
This involves ensuring that cloud-based systems and data adhere to relevant regulations and industry standards. This can include meeting requirements for data privacy, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and for data security, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
- 05
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
This involves having a plan in place to handle and recover from any kind of disaster or interruption that could happen. This can include having backup and recovery procedures in place, as well as having a disaster recovery site set up.
How we work Eight steps from
Eight steps from
assessment to
steady state
The same sequence on every engagement, so you always know what happens next.
- 01
Assessment
A senior engineer reviews your infrastructure, pipelines, cloud spend and security posture.
- 02
Plan
Findings become a written plan — risks, waste and quick wins, in plain English.
- 03
Prioritize
We agree what gets fixed first, based on impact rather than what is easiest to start.
- 04
Execution
Pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring and hardening land while your team keeps shipping.
- 05
Test
Every change is validated in a real environment before it touches production.
- 06
Optimization
Right-sizing, spend governance and performance tuning once the baseline is stable.
- 07
Operate
We run it day to day — incidents, patching and releases — with a named engineer on call.
- 08
Monitor
Continuous metrics, logs and alerting, with monthly cost and performance reporting.
