Cloud security for organisations that also run physical operations.
Industrial data ends up in the cloud — historians, analytics, remote monitoring, digital twins. Our cloud practice covers posture, architecture and certification, with particular attention to the connection points where cloud platforms reach back into operational environments.

Frameworks we assess and certify against.
Cloud assurance is crowded with overlapping frameworks. We work out which ones your customers actually ask for, then build one control set that satisfies them together.
Information security management system
The management system underneath everything else — scope definition, risk treatment, Statement of Applicability and the operating rhythm that keeps certification alive.
How we support you
- ISMS scoping and gap assessment
- Risk assessment and treatment plan
- Statement of Applicability development
- Policy and procedure documentation set
- Internal audit and management review
- Certification audit readiness support
Cloud services security and PII protection
Cloud-specific control guidance for providers and customers, plus the protection of personally identifiable information processed in public cloud.
How we support you
- Shared responsibility model definition
- Cloud control implementation review
- PII handling and data residency assessment
- Customer-facing assurance documentation
- Provider and sub-processor evaluation
- Evidence pack for extension certification
Cloud Controls Matrix and STAR assurance
The Cloud Security Alliance control framework and the STAR programme that cloud customers increasingly use to screen providers before procurement.
How we support you
- CCM control mapping and gap analysis
- CAIQ completion and review
- STAR Level 1 self-assessment preparation
- Evidence collection for STAR Level 2
- Control ownership and automation guidance
- Continuous assurance approach
Identity-centric security architecture
Moving from perimeter-based assumptions to continuous verification across identity, device, network and workload — including how far it can sensibly extend into OT.
How we support you
- Zero Trust maturity assessment
- Identity and access architecture review
- Segmentation and policy enforcement design
- Privileged and vendor access redesign
- Phased adoption roadmap
- Applicability boundaries for OT environments
Where cloud meets operations
What a cloud engagement covers.
The same seven services run across every practice, so you can compare scope without re-learning the menu.
Risk assessment
Cloud risk assessment covering identity, data, workload and the integration points back into operational systems.
Advisory & consulting
Architecture and governance guidance — shared responsibility, landing zone design, and how far Zero Trust should reach into operations.
VA-PT & security testing
Configuration review, cloud posture assessment and application-layer penetration testing within agreed provider rules of engagement.
Compliance & audit readiness
Readiness for ISO 27001, 27017/27018 and CSA STAR, plus completion of the customer security questionnaires that gate procurement.
Implementation support
Hardening, identity and access redesign, logging and detection coverage, and secure connectivity between cloud and plant.
Security operations
Cloud detection and response coverage, alert tuning and integration with existing security operations.
Training & capability
Cloud security and Zero Trust training for engineering and platform teams, plus certification preparation.
