Secure by design. Resilient by plan.

We design the identity, protection, monitoring and recovery capabilities that keep your workloads safe and your business running, and test them.

Problems we address

  • Security added after the fact

    Controls bolted on late leave gaps that are expensive to close.

  • Access that grows unchecked

    Over-broad permissions and unmanaged secrets are a common cause of incidents.

  • Recovery plans nobody has tested

    A backup that has never been restored is an assumption, not a plan.

  • Unclear recovery objectives

    Without agreed RPO and RTO, spending on resilience is guesswork.

Capabilities

Identity and access

Least-privilege access, strong authentication and managed secrets.

Threat detection and monitoring

Continuous monitoring of configuration, activity and threats, with defined response.

Data protection

Encryption, key management and data classification.

Backup and disaster recovery

Recovery designed to your RPO and RTO, from backup and restore to continuous replication.

Resilient architecture

Design for failure across availability zones and, where needed, regions.

Security reviews

Assess existing environments and prioritise fixes.

How we deliver

  1. Set the objectives

    Agree what needs protecting and how quickly it must recover.

  2. Assess the current state

    Review configuration, access, architecture and recovery capability.

  3. Design controls and recovery

    Choose protections and a recovery strategy that fit the objectives and budget.

  4. Implement and automate

    Build controls as code and automate monitoring and backup.

  5. Test and report

    Run recovery tests and report results on a regular schedule.

Technical foundations on AWS

AWS describes four disaster recovery strategies, from lowest to highest cost and speed of recovery: backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby and multi-site active/active.

  • AWS IAM
  • AWS KMS
  • AWS Security Hub
  • Amazon GuardDuty
  • AWS CloudTrail
  • AWS Config
  • AWS WAF
  • AWS Backup
  • AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery
  • The right strategy depends on how much downtime and data loss the business can accept (RTO and RPO targets).

Security, governance and operations

  • Support for your audit requirements

    Evidence, logging and reporting that help you meet your own audit and regulatory obligations.

  • Shared responsibility

    Clear division between what AWS, CloudStraight and your team are responsible for.

  • Regular testing

    Recovery and security controls are tested, not assumed.

  • Incident readiness

    Defined roles and procedures for when something goes wrong.
