Security & Compliance

We work closely with our clients and stakeholders to embed practical security in daily work. We start from access and risk mapping, finishing with SSO, backups and licence checks that align with your standards.

What's included

  • Access control audit: who has access to what, and a remediation plan to reach least privilege
  • Secrets audit: scan all repositories for hardcoded credentials, API keys, and tokens
  • SSO integration for internal tools and cloud consoles (Google Workspace, Okta, or equivalent)
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning wired into your CI pipeline (OWASP, Snyk, or Trivy)
  • Automated backup verification: backups exist, are restorable, and are tested regularly
  • Third-party licence compliance check for open-source dependencies
  • Security policy documentation: access policy, incident response basics, offboarding checklist
  • Handoff walkthrough session with your engineering and leadership team

Who it's for

Teams preparing for enterprise procurement or a SOC 2 audit where security questionnaires are blocking deals. Teams who have had a security scare — leaked credentials, an exposed database, or a compromised dependency — and want to act before it happens again. Early-stage teams who know they've been cutting corners and want to remediate before they scale.

How we work

  1. Understand — access audit, credential scan, and review of your current security posture across repos, cloud, and internal tools
  2. Define Done — agree which issues are in scope, the risk priority order, and the acceptance criteria in writing
  3. Implement — remediate access controls, rotate exposed secrets, wire up scanning, set up SSO
  4. Handoff — documentation, policy templates, walkthrough with your team, access removed at project close

Typical timeline

2–3 weeks depending on the number of services, repositories, and cloud accounts in scope. Fixed scope, fixed quote upfront. We can sign an NDA before any access is shared.

What we've seen fixed

Teams completing this engagement typically clear enterprise security questionnaires that were previously blocking procurement. Hardcoded secrets get rotated and moved to a secrets manager. Dependency vulnerabilities that have been sitting in the backlog for months get triaged and the critical ones are patched before the next audit.
