Compliance

Compliance is a design property.
Not a project.

Most teams treat certification as a sprint. Six weeks of chasing findings, patching the gaps, then drifting back out of scope before the next review. We build platforms where the controls live in the substrate — so audits become a formality.

Target frameworks

The four we lead with.

These are the frameworks that come up on almost every engagement. If your regulator or customer requires something else — SOC 2, GDPR, DORA, PDPA — the same approach applies. Reach out and we'll scope it.

CIS

CIS Benchmarks

Consensus-based configuration baselines for Kubernetes, cloud accounts, Linux, and container runtimes.

HIPAA

Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act

US health-data protection rules that apply wherever protected health information is processed or stored.

PCI-DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Mandatory controls for organisations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.

ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management

The international standard for an auditable information security management system.

Approach

Assess. Design. Evidence. Sustain.

A four-stage arc that starts with what you already have and ends with a platform that stays compliant on its own.

Stage
Assess

Map your estate against the target framework

Every engagement opens with a control-by-control gap analysis: what's implemented, what's partially covered, what's missing, and where evidence needs to be produced. Findings are tied to owners and prioritized by regulator-visible risk.

Stage
Design

Rebuild the gaps as code

Controls become code — admission policies, IaC guardrails, pipeline gates, and telemetry pipelines. Configuration is version-controlled, drift-monitored, and continuously evaluated instead of manually attested each cycle.

Stage
Evidence

Continuous, auditor-facing proof

The same platform primitives that enforce a control also emit evidence for it. Auditors read dashboards, not spreadsheets. Certification cycles compress from months to weeks because the state is already true.

Stage
Sustain

Governance that doesn't atrophy

Compliance drifts by default. We build the loops — control-drift detection, exception review, ownership handoffs — so posture stays sound between audits, not just during them.

Also aligned to

The standards behind the standards.

The named certifications above are the outcomes. These are the underlying frameworks we build against — the vocabulary your engineers and assessors both work in.

  • OWASP SAMM
    Software Assurance Maturity Model
  • OWASP ASVS
    Application Security Verification Standard
  • NSA/CISA
    Kubernetes Hardening Guidance
  • MITRE ATT&CK
    Adversary tactics, techniques, and detection mapping
