How we engineer security
Encryption everywhere
TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, and secrets held in managed vaults — never in code or config.
Least-privilege access
SSO, role-based access, and scoped, time-bound credentials. Client environments are segregated by default.
Audit by construction
Immutable, queryable audit logs of decisions, access, and model versions — the trail an assessor actually needs.
Data minimisation
We process the least data necessary, with residency and retention enforced in code, not in a policy PDF.
Resilient infrastructure
Infrastructure-as-code, reproducible environments, backups, and tested recovery — no snowflake servers.
Human governance
Approval gates, override logging, and reporting that gives risk and compliance teams genuine oversight.
One bench. Many jurisdictions.
We are engineers, not your legal counsel — we work alongside your qualified advisers. But we know these frameworks cold, and we turn their requirements into concrete architecture so your compliance team gets something they can sign off.
United Kingdom & Europe
Data protection and sector conduct rules for teams operating in the UK and EU.
Scope: Lawful basis, data subject rights, breach notification, international transfers.
What we do: Data mapping, purpose limitation by design, DSAR-ready data models, and 72-hour breach runbooks.
Scope: Privacy by design, DPIAs, processor obligations, Schrems II transfer mechanics.
What we do: DPIAs on high-risk processing, SCCs and transfer impact assessments, and EU data residency where required.
Scope: SYSC, operational resilience, Consumer Duty, model governance, audit trails.
What we do: Explainable decisioning, immutable audit logging, human-in-the-loop controls, and outsourcing-ready architecture.
Scope: Client confidentiality, conflict checks, file integrity, professional privilege.
What we do: Privilege-preserving retrieval, matter-level access control, and confidentiality boundaries enforced in the pipeline.
United States
Federal and state frameworks for regulated American workloads — health, finance, payments, and consumer privacy.
Scope: PHI safeguards, minimum necessary, BAAs, audit controls.
What we do: PHI segmentation, de-identification pipelines, encryption in transit and at rest, and BAA-ready infrastructure.
Scope: Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy.
What we do: Control mapping, evidence automation, and observability that produces an auditor-ready trail by default.
Scope: Consumer rights, opt-out of sale/sharing, sensitive data limits.
What we do: Consent and preference plumbing, deletion workflows, and data inventory tied to consumer requests.
Scope: Cardholder data protection, network segmentation, tokenisation.
What we do: Scope reduction via tokenisation, segmented networks, and secrets management that keeps PAN out of your stack.
