Cloud-native security and observability, engineered.
A Nairobi-based consultancy engineering cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, Kubernetes runtime security, and full-stack observability for regulated fintech, healthtech, payments, and telco teams. Delivered by senior practitioners, mapped to the frameworks your auditors already trust.

What we do.
Six practices, each shipped by senior engineers with production scars. We adapt to the tools you already run — or help you choose the right ones — so you're never locked in to a single vendor's opinion of what good looks like.
Compliance & Assurance
Control-by-control readiness for CIS, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 — mapped to your architecture, evidenced continuously, and defensible in an audit.
Read the brief →Shift left without slowing downDevSecOps Programs
SDLC integration aligned to OWASP SAMM, NIST SSDF, and BSIMM. Security controls that developers actually adopt because they don't get in the way.
Read the brief →eBPF-based observability meets policyPlatform & Runtime Security
Kubernetes hardened to NSA/CISA guidance. eBPF-based runtime detection, admission-time policy enforcement, and identity-aware network segmentation across every workload.
Read the brief →SLSA-aligned, provenance-signedSupply-chain & Container Governance
Container lifecycle governance from build to deprecation. SBOMs, signed provenance, registry policy, and an SLSA level uplift path that regulators can follow.
Read the brief →One pane for NOC and SOCObservability & Detection
Telemetry pipelines that serve reliability and security teams from the same source of truth — SLOs, correlated signals, and detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Read the brief →The substrate that everything else runs onCloud & Platform Engineering
Multi-cloud landing zones, IaC pipelines, and internal developer platforms — engineered so product teams move faster and platform teams sleep at night.
Read the brief →Every layer, engineered.
From merge commit to running syscall, we cover the full chain of controls. We choose battle-tested open-source components for every layer — the exact selection is a conversation, not a catalog.
Language-aware code scanning integrated into every merge, tuned to the noise floor developers will actually maintain.
Runtime scanning of deployed services, including authenticated flows and API contracts.
Dependency and lockfile scanning, with SBOM export and license posture.
Base-image hygiene, registry policy, signed provenance, and image lifecycle governance.
Kernel-level observability and enforcement — syscall visibility, process ancestry, and lateral movement detection.
Admission-time and continuous policy — network, workload identity, and configuration guardrails.
Continuous benchmarking against CIS, NSA/CISA, and workload-specific hardening guidance.
Metrics, logs, traces, and profiles unified for reliability engineers and security analysts alike.
Aligned to what your assessors read.
Every engagement is anchored in the same standards your auditors, third-party assessors, and internal risk teams already work from. No proprietary maturity models — the vocabulary is shared on purpose.

Regulated by default.
We work with regulated technology teams globally. The regulator varies; the discipline stays constant.
Fintech
Digital banks, mobile money, and remittance.
Payments
PCI-DSS scope reduction and cardholder data environments.
Healthtech
HIPAA-aligned platforms and protected health data.
Telco
Multi-tenant carrier platforms and lawful-intercept adjacent estates.
Public sector
Sovereign data controls and defence-adjacent workloads.
One platform. Three accelerators.
Pneuma is the substrate. Cost Intelligence, Observability & Monitoring, and Security & Governance are modular accelerators that plug into it — or run standalone against your existing platform. All four born from consulting engagements.
Pneuma
An opinionated, GitOps-native Kubernetes platform with compliance controls, admission-time policy, eBPF runtime security, and integrated observability — the delivery substrate that the three accelerators plug into.
See how it works →Cost Intelligence
AI agent that forecasts spend, catches waste, and right-sizes workloads from real telemetry — before the invoice arrives.

Metrics, logs, traces, profiles, and security events on one correlated surface — NOC and SOC on the same pane.

Application security, container governance, eBPF runtime detection, network policy, and admission-time policy — one integrated module.

Whether you're staring at an ISO 27001 gap analysis, a PCI-DSS scope reduction, or a Kubernetes hardening backlog — we'll scope it in one call.
