Cloud Security Engineering
Identity, network and data controls designed for the cloud.
Cloud security starts with identity. We set up conditional access, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege roles and logging, then harden networks and storage around them.
We review your cloud tenant against recognised security baselines, fix the gaps in priority order, and set up alerting so suspicious activity reaches someone who can act on it.
Controls are documented and mapped to the standards your clients and insurers ask about, so security questionnaires stop being a scramble.
Identity and access
MFA, conditional access and least-privilege roles for every account.
Network hardening
Private endpoints, firewalls and segmented networks.
Data protection
Encryption, access policies and sensitivity labels for important data.
Threat detection
Alerts for risky sign-ins, misconfigurations and unusual activity.
Audit-ready logging
Centralised logs kept for as long as you need them.
Security baselines
Your tenant checked against recognised benchmarks and kept there.
Signs you need this
- Staff sign in with passwords only, without multi-factor authentication
- Nobody is sure who has admin access to your cloud tenant
- A client or insurer sent a security questionnaire you can't answer
- You moved to the cloud quickly and never went back to lock it down
How we deliver it
Assess
We review identities, permissions, network exposure and logging in your tenant.
Prioritize
Findings are ranked by risk, with a plain-language remediation plan.
Harden
We apply the controls in planned stages, testing so users aren't locked out.
Monitor
Alerting and regular reviews keep the environment from drifting.

Common questions
Will these changes disrupt our staff?
We roll controls out in stages, starting with a pilot group, and communicate changes such as MFA in advance so nobody is caught off guard.
We already have antivirus. Isn't that enough?
Antivirus protects devices. Most cloud incidents start with a stolen password or an over-permissioned account, which needs identity and access controls.
Can you help with a client's security questionnaire?
Yes. We document the controls in place and help you answer questionnaires accurately, and we flag any gaps worth closing first.
