Managed Cloud Security

Continuous protection for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — from misconfiguration and identity risk to runtime threats — managed by cloud security specialists.

Always-on monitoring LIVE

  • Continuous posture management
  • IAM & misconfiguration fixes
  • Cloud threat detection
  • Kubernetes & workload security

Overview

Many UK organisations host in the AWS London, Azure UK South or Google Cloud London regions for data-residency reasons. We monitor those environments continuously, check them against the NCSC's cloud security principles and CIS Benchmarks, and help you fix misconfigurations before they become incidents.

Cloud environments change daily. A single misconfigured storage bucket, over-permissive role or exposed management port can undo months of good security work — and traditional tools rarely see it.

Our Managed Cloud Security service continuously assesses your cloud posture against best-practice benchmarks, prioritises the risks that are actually exploitable, and helps your engineers fix them — ideally in infrastructure-as-code so they stay fixed. We also monitor cloud control-plane and workload activity for threats such as credential misuse, crypto-mining and data exfiltration.

Findings from our cloud penetration testing feed directly into monitoring, closing the loop between offence and defence.

How our managed services work for UK organisations

  • Cover through UK nights, weekends and bank holidays, when in-house teams are offline
  • Escalations go to your named UK contacts by phone, email or Microsoft Teams, following agreed severities
  • Monthly service reviews scheduled within UK business hours, with evidence packs for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and the NHS DSPT
  • Data processing agreement covering transfers from the UK, using the IDTA or UK Addendum where personal data is involved

What's included

Posture management (CSPM)Continuous benchmark checks across accounts, subscriptions and projects.
Identity & entitlementsOver-privileged roles, unused permissions and risky trust relationships.
Workload protectionContainer, Kubernetes and VM runtime security.
Cloud threat detectionControl-plane and workload threat monitoring, 24/7.
IaC & pipeline securityScanning of Terraform, CloudFormation and CI/CD configurations.
Compliance reportingMapped evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and CIS.

Our approach

  1. ConnectRead-only onboarding of cloud accounts and tooling.
  2. AssessBaseline posture, identity risk and exposure.
  3. PrioritiseRank findings by exploitability and data sensitivity.
  4. RemediateGuided or managed fixes, ideally in code.
  5. MonitorContinuous posture checks and 24/7 threat detection.

What you receive

  • Cloud posture baseline

  • MITRE ATT&CK Cloud
  • Cyber Essentials

Frequently asked questions

Do you need admin access to our cloud?

No. Monitoring and assessment use read-only roles. Remediation is done by your team or through agreed change processes.

Which cloud platforms do you support?

Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, including multi-cloud and Kubernetes environments.

How is this different from a cloud penetration test?

A penetration test is a point-in-time deep dive; managed cloud security is continuous monitoring and improvement.

Can you support UK organisations from India?

Yes. All services are delivered remotely by our team in India. India is 4.5 hours ahead of UK time during British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead in winter, so our working day overlaps with yours every morning and afternoon. Testing windows and escalation contacts are agreed around your UK schedule, and 24/7 services run around the clock.

Where is our data processed?

Engagement data is handled by our team in India under NDA, with encrypted storage, least-privilege access and secure deletion at the end of the agreed retention period. We can sign a data processing agreement using the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses where personal data is involved.
