Security & Compliance

A security breach can mean downtime, lost data, financial loss and damaged trust. We help reduce that risk by designing and managing your infrastructure with security at its core.

Security & Compliance

Security Starts With the Infrastructure

Poor security can expose critical systems and data, disrupt your business and create costly issues.

 

That’s why Security & Compliance is one of five core priorities in our approach to managed cloud.

 

We start by understanding what you’re running, the data involved and the risks you face. We then design and manage your infrastructure with appropriate security controls in place, reviewing them as your environment and requirements change.

The Problem

Security Gaps Can Leave You Exposed

Our Approach

Security Built Around Your Environment

  • Vulnerabilities or configuration issues can leave critical systems exposed
  • We understand what you're running and where the risks are
  • Access to infrastructure and data may not be as tightly controlled as it should be
  • We put the right controls in place around your infrastructure and data
  • Changes to your infrastructure can introduce new risks
  • We keep security under review as things change
  • Existing security controls may no longer be enough
  • We identify vulnerabilities and address areas that need attention
  • Increasing customer and compliance requirements can add further pressure
  • We help you support compliance with appropriate controls and governance

What Good Cloud Security Looks Like

Good security is layered. We put the right controls in place around your infrastructure, systems and data, and keep them under review as things change.

Access & Authentication

We help control who can access your infrastructure and data, with appropriate permissions and authentication to reduce unnecessary exposure.

Infrastructure & Network Security

We protect your environment with security controls designed around how your infrastructure is configured, connected and used.

Vulnerability Management

We identify vulnerabilities, understand the risk they present and take appropriate action to address areas that need attention.

Security Monitoring

We monitor for signs of security issues or suspicious activity, so we can investigate when something needs attention.

Compliance

We help put the technical controls in place to support your compliance requirements and provide clarity around how your managed environment is protected.

Governance

We put appropriate processes and oversight around your managed infrastructure, helping make sure security continues to be reviewed as your environment and requirements change.

When You Need More Protection

Some environments need additional layers of security.

What you need depends on what you’re running, the data you’re protecting and the risks involved. We can help you understand where additional protection may be needed and put the right services in place.

What You Need to Know About Security & Compliance

Cloud security services help protect cloud infrastructure, systems and data through security controls, monitoring and ongoing management. The right approach depends on what you’re running, the data involved and the risks you need to manage.

Cloud security is about protecting your infrastructure, systems and data. Compliance is about meeting relevant regulations, standards or frameworks. The right security controls can support compliance, but security alone doesn’t make an organisation compliant.

That means looking at the environment as a whole — including configuration, access, vulnerabilities and monitoring. We can review your existing environment and, where a closer assessment is needed, a Security Audit can help identify weaknesses and areas that need attention.

Managed cloud security means having specialist expertise involved in protecting and managing your cloud environment on an ongoing basis. We incorporate security into the way we manage your infrastructure, with additional security services available where they’re needed.

Security as a Service provides additional security capabilities as a managed service, giving you access to specialist protection without having to build and manage everything yourself.

Yes. We can put appropriate technical controls, processes and governance in place around your managed environment to support your compliance requirements. Your overall compliance will also depend on your wider organisation, policies and processes.
