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 you need to protect and where the risks are. From there, we put the right security controls around your environment and keep them under review as things 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
  • Customers, regulators or industry standards may place specific security requirements on you
  • We help put the technical controls and governance in place to support those requirements

What Good 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.

Control Who Has Access

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

Protect your Environment

We put security controls around your infrastructure and network based on how it is configured, connected and used.

Avoid Problems

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.

Support Your Compliance

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

Keep Security Under Review

Security isn’t something you configure once and forget. We continue to review the environment as your infrastructure, risks and requirements change.

When You Need More Protection

Not every environment needs the same level of protection.

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 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.

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.

You may need additional security services if your environment handles sensitive or regulated data, has specific compliance requirements, is exposed to greater risk, or needs more advanced monitoring and protection than standard infrastructure security provides. We’ll assess what you’re running and the risks involved, then recommend any additional protection only where it adds genuine value.
