Identity, cloud and Zero Trust
Security Architecture & Engineering
Architecture reviews and hands-on engineering across identity, cloud and network , with reference designs your team can actually implement and a Zero Trust path that doesn't require replacing everything at once.
The situation
The diagram and the deployment stopped matching a long time ago
- Cloud footprint grew faster than the guardrails around it.
- Identity sprawl means nobody can answer “who can reach production?” in under a day.
- Every Zero Trust proposal so far has been a procurement plan wearing a strategy costume.
What we do
- Review cloud architecture across Azure, AWS and GCP against a hardened reference design
- Design identity and access architecture: Entra ID, Okta, conditional access, PAM, joiner-mover-leaver
- Build a staged Zero Trust roadmap sequenced by blast-radius reduction
- Segment networks and workloads without stalling delivery
- Design data protection: classification, encryption, key management, DLP that people don't route around
- Codify guardrails as policy-as-code and landing zone patterns your platform team owns
- Harden Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and the SaaS estate nobody is watching
- Review and secure OT / IoT boundaries where they touch the corporate network
Deliverables
What you actually receive.
Artefacts your team can operate after we leave, not a slide deck and a wave goodbye.
| Deliverable | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Architecture review | Findings ranked by blast radius, each with a concrete design fix |
| Target-state reference architecture | Diagrams plus the decisions and trade-offs behind them |
| Identity blueprint | Access model, privileged path, lifecycle automation and break-glass design |
| Zero Trust roadmap | Phased, tool-agnostic, with what to do before buying anything |
| Guardrail code | Policy-as-code, landing zone and baseline configuration your team maintains |
| Implementation support | We stay through build and validation, not just design |
Ways to engage
Sized to the problem in front of you.
2–4 weeks

Deep review of one domain: cloud, identity or network.
6–16 weeks
Design and build
Target-state design plus hands-on implementation with your team.
Ongoing
Embedded architect
A senior architect in your design reviews and change process.
