Infrastructure & resilience

Systems that stay up and stay secure

Hardened servers, backups you've actually restored, and an architecture that survives a bad day. We design it with you, support the rollout where you want it, and document it so it holds up in an audit.

The questions that keep IT managers up at night

“When did we last test a restore?”

Backups that have never been restored are a hope, not a plan.

“Default settings everywhere.”

Servers and cloud accounts set up in a hurry rarely match any hardening baseline.

“What happens if the main site goes down?”

Without agreed recovery targets and runbooks, every outage is improvised.

“The auditor will ask about MFA and logs.”

NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 all check the same technical basics — with evidence.

What we do

Three areas, one team

Pick one area or combine them. You decide how much we take on — from a plan your team implements to hands-on support.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backups you've actually restored, and a plan for the day something breaks.

  • RTO and RPO agreed per service
  • Backup strategy with an offline or immutable copy
  • Restore tests under realistic conditions
  • Runbooks for the failure scenarios that matter
Scoped per environment.

Architecture & Cloud

Design and migration planning for infrastructure that's secure from the start.

  • Server, virtualisation and cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, on-prem)
  • Migration planning with rollback steps
  • Database and network design, segmentation and monitoring
  • Hands-on support when you need it
Scoped per project.
How it works

Plan it, prove it, document it

Assess

A read-only look at how things are set up today, against benchmarks and your own priorities.

Plan

A prioritised plan with the effort, risk and order of every change — agreed with you.

Roll out

Your team, ours, or both. Changes are tested first and scheduled when they suit you.

Prove

Restore tests, configuration evidence and runbooks — ready for your next audit.

Audit-ready by design

The controls your auditors check first

The technical basics are the same across frameworks. Done once and documented well, they count for all of them.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you replace our IT team or IT provider?

No. We work alongside them. They keep running day-to-day operations; we bring the security architecture, hardening, resilience and audit-readiness layer, and hand over documentation they can maintain.

Will a hardening review disrupt our systems?

The review itself is read-only: we assess configurations against benchmarks and your own requirements. Any changes are planned with you, tested first and scheduled when they suit you.

What are RTO and RPO?

The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is how long a service can be down before it hurts the business; the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is how much data you can afford to lose, measured in time. They drive every backup and disaster recovery decision, so we agree them with you first.

What access do you need?

Only what the agreed work needs, granted and revoked by you. For many tasks we guide your team instead of working in your systems directly.

Does this help with NIS2, ISO 27001 or SOC 2?

Yes. Hardening, MFA, patching, logging, backups and recovery testing are among the controls auditors look at most closely in all three. We document the work so it doubles as evidence.
