Security, DevOps, LLMOps & Infrastructure
We protect your business, your data, and your customers. Security, compliance, and operational infrastructure from a team that has done it at scale.
Your software handles customer data, processes payments, and runs business operations. A security failure is not a technical inconvenience. It is lost revenue, regulatory exposure, and damaged trust that takes years to rebuild.
We treat security, compliance, and operational reliability as primary disciplines. Whether you need to meet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, satisfy HIPAA requirements, keep data in the right jurisdiction, prevent chatbot abuse, or simply stop your deployment pipeline from breaking every Friday, this is the work we do every day.
Security audits and remediation
We audit codebases, infrastructure, and operational practices against OWASP Top 10, CIS benchmarks, and the threat model that actually applies to your product. Findings come with severity, exploitability, and a remediation plan rather than a 200-page PDF.
Legacy code rescue
If a previous team left, the codebase has rotted, or the original developers cannot be reached, we triage. We figure out what works, what is dangerous, and what to rewrite, and we deliver a plan that prioritizes business continuity over rewrite ambition.
CI/CD and containerization
We build deployment pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or whatever you already use, with automated tests, security scans, accessibility audits, and promotion between environments. Applications are packaged with Docker and orchestrated on Kubernetes or simpler container hosts depending on your operational maturity. Reliability comes from automating the steps humans get wrong, and we have a strong bias against complexity that does not earn its keep, so we will tell you when K8s is the wrong answer.
Cloud and bare-metal infrastructure
The infrastructure choices are based on what the workload actually needs. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure cover immediate horizontal scale, specific managed services, and regional compliance or data residency requirements, and we have shipped production systems on all three. Providers like Hetzner often give better price-to-performance when scale and managed services are not the priority. When a fully self-hosted deployment is the right answer, our team can travel on-site to install and configure the hardware.
Observability and incident response
When production breaks, the question is how fast someone notices. We build monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing with whatever stack fits your environment, including Sentry, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and the commercial equivalents, so an on-call engineer can follow a failing request across services and fix the actual cause. The runbooks we leave behind turn a 3am page into a routine response rather than a panic.
LLMOps and AI abuse prevention
AI features in production need their own operational discipline. We instrument token consumption, per-query cost, latency, and answer quality degradation, with alerts that fire before the bill or the UX surprises you. We also build the guardrails that prevent chatbot abuse: prompt injection defenses, topic guards, rate limiting, and usage monitoring that catches misuse before it becomes a liability. If you already have an AI feature running unsupervised in production, we come in and wrap the observability and controls it should have had from the start.
Compliance, data residency, and data sovereignty
We have built and operated systems under SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA requirements. We know what auditors actually look for, and we build the controls, documentation, and evidence collection into the system from the start rather than bolting them on before an audit. For organizations with data residency or sovereignty constraints, we architect infrastructure that keeps data in the required jurisdictions, whether that means region-locked cloud deployments, self-hosted infrastructure, or hybrid approaches that satisfy both operational and regulatory needs.
Triage and assessment
1 to 2 weeksWe review the codebase, infrastructure, and operational practices to identify the highest-risk issues and the highest-leverage fixes. Output is a prioritized plan with effort estimates, not a wishlist.
Stabilize first
VariableIf production is on fire, we stop the bleeding before we start improving. The work that prevents the next outage takes precedence over the work that improves the next sprint.
Modernize and harden
VariableOnce stable, we work through the remediation plan: pipeline modernization, security fixes, observability gaps, infrastructure improvements. Each change ships independently rather than in a giant rewrite.
Handover and ongoing support
OngoingWe document the work, train your team, and offer ongoing retainers if you want continued support. We are equally happy to hand off completely once the system is in good shape.
Our infrastructure has supported platforms managing over $20 million USD in deposited funds across DeFi protocols with zero successful exploits. Self-hosted blockchain nodes have run for multiple years across Canada and Europe. CI/CD pipelines we built power teams that ship daily without breaking production.
We have rescued stalled projects where the previous team left and the codebase needed someone willing to read it carefully and figure out what was real.
Containerization with Docker. Orchestration on Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or Nomad depending on operational complexity. Infrastructure-as-code in Terraform. CI/CD on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Monitoring stacks built on Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Sentry.
Security tooling includes OWASP ZAP, SonarQube, and dependency-scanning integrated into CI rather than run as one-time exercises. Database operations cover PostgreSQL tuning, migration discipline, and schema evolution under load.
Can you take over a project from a previous team?
Yes. We have done several rescue engagements where a previous team left and the codebase needed someone willing to read it carefully and figure out what was real. We approach these with no judgment about the prior work and a focus on what needs to happen next.
Do you do penetration testing?
We do code-level security audits and infrastructure reviews. For formal penetration testing with attestation we work with established pentest firms and remediate the findings.
What does an engagement cost?
Audit and triage engagements are fixed-scope and typically run one to two weeks. Remediation and modernization work is billed time-and-materials with weekly check-ins so you can adjust priorities as we go.
Can you operate the infrastructure for us?
Yes. We offer ongoing infrastructure operation including monitoring, on-call response, and routine maintenance. This is how several of our DeFi protocol clients have operated for years.
What if the existing code is really bad?
We have seen worse. Almost no codebase is beyond rescue if there is a clear business reason to keep it. We will tell you honestly if rewrite is the better path.
Who owns the infrastructure-as-code?
You do. Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes manifests, Dockerfiles, and runbooks are delivered as we build so your team can operate the system without us.
