Assurance & Security

Secure-by-design SoW delivery with Defence-grade assurance in every engagement.

We operate on a need-to-know basis and comply with client security processes. All personnel are security-cleared as required, and we work within your protective marking scheme and handling instructions.

Security Pillars

1

Secure SDLC

We implement secure software development lifecycle practices across all engagements. This includes threat modelling, secure coding standards, static and dynamic analysis, dependency management, and vulnerability remediation.

Key Practices

Threat modelling and risk assessment
Secure coding standards and peer review
SAST/DAST and dependency scanning
Vulnerability management and patching
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
2

Zero Trust Patterns

We architect systems using Zero Trust principles: verify explicitly, use least-privilege access, and assume breach. Micro-segmentation, identity-based access control, and continuous validation reduce attack surfaces.

Key Practices

Identity and access management (IAM)
Micro-segmentation and network isolation
Least-privilege access controls
Continuous authentication and authorization
Encrypted communications and key management
3

Data Handling & Classification

We work with your data classification scheme and protective markings. Data at rest and in transit is protected according to sensitivity. Segregation of duties and need-to-know principles are enforced.

Key Practices

Data classification and labelling
Encryption at rest and in transit
Access controls and segregation of duties
Data lifecycle and retention policies
Secure data destruction
4

Audit & Traceability

Full audit trails for code, configuration, and access. Immutable logs, version control, and artifact repositories ensure complete traceability from requirement to deployment.

Key Practices

Immutable audit logs and SIEM integration
Version control and change management
Artifact repositories with provenance
Requirements-to-code traceability
Configuration management and baselines
5

Accreditation Support

We support accreditation to NCSC, NATO, ITAR, and other regimes. Our documentation, evidence packs, and compliance artefacts are designed to ease accreditation processes.

Key Practices

Security case development
Compliance matrices and evidence packs
ITAR and export control awareness
NCSC and NATO accreditation support
Continuous compliance monitoring
