Cloud Security & Compliance

Compliant from day one, or brought there

Regulated environments fail audits for ordinary reasons: a SIEM with detections that run against no data, a storage account that is reachable from the internet, a key that is managed by the platform when the policy says the customer must hold it, a change that nobody wrote down. None of those are exotic. They are what happens when a cloud estate grows faster than the controls around it.

We work on that layer. A senior engineer leads every engagement, starts with evidence rather than assumptions, fixes the class of problem rather than the instance, and leaves you with an environment and a paper trail your auditor can follow.

What we do

Compliance assessments mapped to NIST 800-53 and HIPAA §164.312, with each finding tied to a control and ranked by severity and business impact.
Landing zones built entirely as Terraform. Network, identity, logging, encryption, and policy as reviewable code, delivered as a module registry your team can keep building on.
Microsoft Sentinel and SIEM reviews. Which detections have data behind them, which do not, what the ingestion costs, and how to cut the bill without blinding the detections.
Private networking and customer-managed encryption. Private endpoints that actually carry the traffic, and HSM-backed keys stated per resource type with evidence.
Keyless automation identity. Federated (OIDC) identities for pipelines and agents, so there are no long-lived secrets to leak or rotate.
Formal change control on live clinical and financial systems: written change records, snapshots, and a rollback path.

What you get

A findings report, ordered by severity, with the control each finding maps to and the evidence behind it.
A remediation plan with each item in plain language, so you decide what to fix, in what order, and what to spend.
The infrastructure-as-code, run-books, and change records for everything we build or change.
Knowledge transfer to your team, so the environment does not depend on us to stay compliant.

Proof

Bringing an orthopedic group’s SIEM to audit-readiness: 33 of 83 Sentinel detections were running against no data. We restored 23 of them.
A HIPAA landing zone built entirely as code: zero public data-plane exposure, delivered as a 42-module Terraform registry.

How we start

A Cloud Security & Compliance Review: logging, SIEM coverage, network exposure, encryption, and access control assessed against NIST 800-53 and HIPAA, with a remediation plan. It is read-only, scoped and quoted before work starts, and the plan is yours to act on with us, with another team, or on your own.

Questions we hear

Do you certify HIPAA or NIST compliance?

No. We are engineers, not an audit firm. We build and harden the environment, map each control to the evidence that proves it, and hand that evidence to your auditor or assessor. The findings and the evidence pack are written so an auditor, a board, or a buyer can check them.

Do you only work on Azure?

We work across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Most of our compliance work has been on Azure, where we build landing zones as Terraform and run Microsoft Sentinel reviews, and our engineers hold Microsoft and HashiCorp certifications.

Can you make changes to a live clinical or financial system?

Yes, under formal change control. Every change on a live system goes through a written change record (ECN or CAB), snapshots, a rollback path, and a verification step. New environments are built entirely as infrastructure-as-code so every change is reviewable.

What does the first engagement look like?

A read-only assessment, scoped and quoted before work starts. We review logging and SIEM coverage, network exposure, encryption, identity, and access control against NIST 800-53 and HIPAA, and return severity-ranked findings with a remediation plan you own, whether or not we do the work.
