UK Sovereign Cloud and IT Strategy Consultancy
We help Defence, Critical National Infrastructure and regulated commercial organisations design, assure and run technology they can defend to any auditor, regulator or board.
How We Work
Whether we’re reviewing an existing environment, building a new one or advising a leadership team on where to invest, every engagement follows the same four principles.
Independent Platform Advice
We hold partner status with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and recommend the platform each client needs rather than the one that suits a supplier's margins.Defence Standards in Every Sector
The standards we work to for the MOD, including JSP 440, JSP 453 and Secure by Design, shape every engagement, whether the client is in Defence, CNI or the commercial sector.Cleared and Accountable
Work is led by SC and DV-cleared, UK-resident engineers and consultants who stay accountable for the outcome from first conversation to handover.Clear, Evidence-Led Recommendations
We set out the costs, risks and trade-offs behind every recommendation, so leadership teams can decide with confidence.See these principles in practice in our case study on establishing cloud governance for UK Defence.
