Security & Compliance
Security built into how you ship
Security work often arrives as a deadline: an enterprise customer asks for a SOC 2 report, or an audit turns up findings no one has time to fix. The tempting response is a pile of policies and a scanner nobody reads.
We take the opposite approach. We harden your cloud accounts, clusters, and pipelines so the controls are part of everyday engineering — codified, automated, and evidenced — and the audit becomes a matter of showing what you already do.
Request a SOC 2 readiness checkSigns you need this
- A large deal depends on SOC 2, and you are not sure where to start.
- Secrets live in environment files, CI variables, and Git history.
- IAM roles and Kubernetes RBAC grant far more access than anyone needs.
- Security scanning exists, but its findings are ignored because they block releases or drown in noise.
- No one could say quickly who changed what in production, and when.
What changes
- First-attempt SOC 2 Type II audit pass
- Cloud misconfigurations found and fixed before attackers do
- Centrally managed secrets in two weeks
- Security scanning in CI without slowing the team
What we deliver
SOC 2 readiness
A gap assessment against the trust services criteria, then the technical controls and evidence to pass a Type II audit on the first attempt.
Identity and access hardening
Least-privilege IAM, short-lived credentials, and tightened Kubernetes RBAC, with access defined in code and reviewable.
Centralized secrets management
Secrets moved out of code and configuration into a managed store, rotated, and audited — typically within two weeks.
Security in the pipeline
Dependency, container, and infrastructure-as-code scanning in CI, plus admission policies in the cluster, tuned so they catch real problems without blocking every merge.
Tools we often use
How an engagement runs
- 01
Review posture
We review accounts, clusters, pipelines, and access, and rank gaps by real risk and by what your auditor or customers will ask for.
- 02
Fix the foundations
Secrets, identity, and audit logging come first, because most other controls depend on them.
- 03
Codify controls
Controls become reusable Terraform modules, pipeline steps, and cluster policies, so they stay in place as you grow.
- 04
Prepare evidence
We help you assemble the evidence your auditor needs and leave your team able to keep it current.

Questions about Security & Compliance
Do you perform the SOC 2 audit?
No. Audits are performed by independent CPA firms. We get your infrastructure, pipelines, and evidence ready so the audit goes smoothly, and we can work alongside the auditor you choose.
How long does SOC 2 readiness take?
It depends on your starting point. One healthtech client reached audit readiness in eight weeks; teams with existing controls can be faster.
Will security tooling slow our engineers down?
It should not. We tune scanners and policies to flag real risk, start them in audit mode, and enforce only once the noise is gone.
