Cloud Security for Growing
UK Businesses
Security, backup and compliance controls for businesses moving to AWS or Azure, without the enterprise price tag or the regulatory complexity.
Why This Exists
Most cloud security tooling is built for enterprises with dedicated security teams. This is built for businesses that are growing fast and need to get secure without needing a security architect on staff.
Client audits are real
Customers in financial services, defence, and professional services are asking suppliers to demonstrate security controls. Anecdotes don't cut it.
GDPR applies to you
If you handle customer or employee data in the UK (and you almost certainly do), UK GDPR applies. That includes how you store and protect it in the cloud.
Ransomware targets SMEs
Most ransomware victims are small businesses. They're targeted because they're under-protected. Proper backup and access controls dramatically reduce your exposure.
Default cloud is not secure cloud
Out-of-the-box AWS and Azure accounts lack the controls you need. Our modules deploy what should have been the baseline from day one.
Four Modules in One Combined Repository
A single repository contains both AWS and Azure variants of each module. Pick the cloud you're on, or deploy both for a consistent security baseline across a multi-cloud environment.
01: Account Hardening
Baseline security controls for your AWS account or Azure subscription: MFA enforcement, root/admin access controls, and default deny policies where applicable.
02: Logging & Visibility
CloudTrail or Azure Activity Log with S3/Storage Account archiving. Know what's happening in your cloud environment and retain logs for investigation if something goes wrong.
03: Backup & Recovery
Automated backup policies for your key workloads with tested recovery procedures. Includes cross-region copies for critical data and configurable retention periods.
04: Network Controls
VPC or VNet configuration with sensible defaults: public/private subnet separation, security group or NSG baseline rules, and no services exposed to the internet by default.
Compliance Coverage
The business tier focuses on three practical frameworks that matter most to growing UK businesses dealing with enterprise customers or sensitive data.
UK GDPR
Data protection by design and default. Encryption at rest, access controls, and audit logging to demonstrate compliance with Article 32 technical and organisational measures.
Cyber Essentials
Three of the five Cyber Essentials controls implemented in code: boundary firewalls, access controls, and secure configuration. Supporting evidence for your certification application.
Supply Chain Security
Evidence pack ready for enterprise customer security questionnaires: network diagrams, policy summaries, and control mapping documents aligned to common audit requirements.
