Identity architecture
Design federation, single sign-on and directory strategy across Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace and cloud IAM.
Cloud Security
Identity & Zero Trust
In the cloud, identity is the perimeter. We help you design and enforce least-privilege access for people, workloads and AI agents, moving step by step towards a Zero Trust model.
The challenge
Stolen credentials and excessive permissions are behind a large share of cloud breaches. Non-human identities such as service accounts, API keys and now AI agents often outnumber employees and are rarely governed.
Typical risks we uncover
- 01Standing administrator privileges and weak MFA
- 02Unmanaged service accounts and API keys
- 03Inconsistent access across cloud, SaaS and on-premises systems
Cloud Security
What we do
Make identity your strongest control across cloud, SaaS and workforce access.
01
02
Least privilege at scale
Analyse effective permissions and right-size roles using real usage data.
03
Privileged access
Just-in-time elevation, break-glass procedures and session controls for administrators.
04
Workload & agent identity
Replace static keys with federated, short-lived credentials for workloads, pipelines and AI agents.
05
Phishing-resistant MFA
Roll out FIDO2 security keys and passkeys with conditional access policies that adapt to risk.
06
Zero Trust roadmap
Assess maturity against recognised models and plan pragmatic, incremental progress.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Talk to a consultant about your environment. The first call is free and under NDA if you need it.
Talk to an expert01Is Zero Trust a product we need to buy?
No. Zero Trust is an architecture and a set of principles. Most organisations already own many of the building blocks; we help you use them coherently.
02How do you handle the identities of AI agents?
We treat agents as first-class identities: scoped permissions, short-lived credentials, human approval for sensitive actions and complete audit trails.
03Can you help with access reviews for audits?
Yes. We design review processes and evidence that satisfy ISO 27001, SOC 2 and regulators, without drowning managers in spreadsheets.
