Security Architecture
Define security reference architectures, design patterns and review processes that scale across engineering teams.
Network Security
Network security designed around zero-trust principles
Segment, harden and monitor networks across data centres, cloud and remote access using zero-trust principles.
The problem
Why this matters
Flat networks allow an attacker who compromises a single endpoint to move laterally to critical systems. Legacy VPNs and broad firewall rules accumulated over years make it difficult to reason about which connections are actually required.
Common challenges
- Flat internal networks with broad east-west access
- Firewall rule bases that nobody fully understands
- Remote access that grants network-level rather than application-level access
- Limited visibility into encrypted traffic and lateral movement
Our approach
How we work
-
Baseline
Map flows between systems and identify critical assets and trust zones.
-
Segment
Design micro-segmentation aligned to application dependencies.
-
Replace implicit trust
Move remote and third-party access to identity-aware, per-application access.
-
Detect
Instrument network telemetry for lateral movement and exfiltration detection.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to replace our firewalls to adopt zero trust?
Usually not. Zero trust is an architecture, not a product. Most organisations progress by tightening segmentation and access policy on existing infrastructure while modernising remote access.
