We build backends where every request is checked for identity and permission, data is encrypted by default and every change leaves a record. Your APIs are ready for security reviews, and your team can keep shipping without reworking security later.
What's included
6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.
OAuth2 and OIDC flows, JWT validation, RBAC and ABAC policies, and careful session handling.
Rate limits, request validation, threat protection, schema checks and abuse prevention.
Audit logs that can't be edited, with correlation IDs that link each event across services.
TLS and mTLS, KMS patterns, secure configuration, secret rotation and least-privilege access.
Classification of personal data (PII), encryption at rest, tokenisation, retention policies and safe exports.
Threat monitoring, alerts, anomaly detection, incident runbooks and a clear view of what is exposed to attack.
Our approach
The usual way
Sign-in was added late, so each service checks tokens differently and services trust each other without proof.
How we do it
One place for authentication and authorisation, role- and attribute-based rules (RBAC and ABAC), and mTLS between services.
The usual way
Changes aren't traceable, so incidents turn into guesswork.
How we do it
Tamper-resistant logs with trace IDs, alerts and incident runbooks, so you can see what happened and respond quickly.
The usual way
Secrets sit in env files, rotating them breaks production and too many people can read them.
How we do it
KMS-backed encryption, a rotation plan that doesn't break production and access to secrets only for those who need it.
Architecture
Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.
OAuth2 and OIDC, sessions, token lifecycle and least-privilege access boundaries.
A gateway that validates requests against the API schema, applies rate limits and filters attacks with a WAF.
Services prove who they are to each other with mTLS, and secrets come from managed storage, not config files.
Events that can't be altered, traceability, alerts and readiness for incident response.
How we deliver
4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.
We list what needs protecting, the likely threats and trust boundaries, and the controls you need, with outcomes you can measure.
Output: Security blueprint
We put in authentication, authorisation, gateway policies, validation, quotas and trust between services.
Output: Zero-trust controls
We build tamper-resistant logs, correlation, retention policies and evidence capture for reviews.
Output: Audit-ready activity records
We ship alerts, runbooks, incident drills and secure release gates aligned with your SLOs.
Output: Secure operations
Your team
Specialists join your squad for this work, alongside a delivery lead who keeps you updated.
Designs zero-trust patterns: identity boundaries, policy enforcement and audit evidence across services.
Builds activity records, evidence capture, retention policies and reporting, so you're ready for reviews.
Handles threat protection, gateway policy, rate limits, schema checks and secure traffic between services.
Runs alerting, monitoring, secure runbooks and incident response aligned with your SLOs.
Trust and control
Least privilege, scoped tokens and service boundaries, enforced the same way everywhere.
Secure defaults, a rotation plan and controlled access to sensitive data.
Tamper-resistant logs, correlation IDs, alerts and runbooks for a fast response.
You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.
We pick what fits your product and team, not the other way round.
Results
We replaced a fund manager's broad VPN access with zero-trust controls that check the user, device and location, and grant privileged access only when it is needed. They cover 100% of identities and cut lateral-movement risk by 99%.
We made a digital banking core ready for post-quantum cryptography, with swappable encryption, hybrid ECC and NIST ML-DSA signatures, and automated key rotation. The core now has 100% NIST alignment, and there was no service downtime during the change.
We built an algorithmic trading platform that connects securely to the user's own brokerage account and runs automated strategies. Paper trading lets users test a strategy first, and a live dashboard shows every trade.
We built a backend and API layer for a growing commerce business. Orders, inventory, payments, fulfilment and customer updates now move reliably between the tools the company already used.
Zero trust means no request is trusted because of where it comes from. Every user and service must prove its identity, and each request is checked against roles and policies before it is allowed. Services talk to each other over mTLS, secrets are rotated, and access is limited to what each person or service needs.
We move authentication and authorisation into one shared layer using OAuth2 and OIDC, so every service validates tokens the same way. Roles and attribute-based policies decide what each caller can do, scopes limit tokens to specific actions, and sessions expire safely. Your teams stop writing their own sign-in code for each service.
We protect APIs at the gateway with rate limits, schema validation that rejects malformed requests and a WAF that filters common attacks. Inside the system, services verify each other with mTLS. Alerts and anomaly signals flag unusual traffic, so the team can respond before abuse becomes an outage or a data leak.
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and mTLS, and at rest with KMS-managed keys. Secrets move out of env files into managed storage, with a rotation plan that doesn't break production and least-privilege access. Personal data can also be tokenised and covered by retention rules, so you keep only what you need.
Our audit logs give reviewers a clear record of who did what and when. They are tamper-resistant, linked across services by correlation IDs and kept under retention policies. Because evidence is captured as part of normal operation, preparing for a SOC 2 review or an incident investigation takes less digging.
We replaced a fund manager's broad VPN access with zero-trust controls that check user, device and location and grant just-in-time privileged access, reaching 100% identity coverage. We also made a digital banking core post-quantum ready, with swappable cryptography and automated key rotation, and 0 service downtime.
