Tech Startups & SaaS
Cloud, DevOps and security maturity for fast-moving engineering teams.
Early-stage SaaS and tech startups usually do not need a full-time platform engineer, a full-time IT lead and a full-time security person. They need a partner who can act as all three when it matters. We embed with founding teams to right-size cloud spend, harden security before the first enterprise customer asks, and keep CI, identity and devices boring in the best possible way.
- Cloud bills growing faster than the product
- No platform engineer to own CI/CD and IaC
- SOC 2 or enterprise security questionnaires looming
- Identity, device and access management ad-hoc
- Review Azure or AWS architecture, cut waste and put infrastructure into Terraform so environments are reproducible.
- Stand up SOC 2-friendly identity, device management and logging without slowing the engineering team down.
- Manage Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, onboarding and offboarding so security questionnaires stop being a fire drill.
- Coach internal engineers on CI/CD, observability and release practices so the bus factor does not stay at one.

The compliance pressures we see most often in tech startups & saas - and how we cover them.
SOC 2
Most enterprise buyers expect SOC 2 Type II. We focus on the technical controls (identity, logging, endpoint, backup, change management) and integrate with platforms like Vanta or Drata.
Customer security questionnaires
We help you build a defensible answer set so a 200-question review takes hours, not weeks - and stops being a fire drill every deal.
Data residency
Canadian and EU customers increasingly ask where data lives. We design with Canadian regions and document data flows up front.
How IT should feel in tech startups & saas
What a normal day looks like once the environment is documented, hardened and supported properly.
New engineer joins
Identity, devices, GitHub, cloud roles and SaaS access provisioned via a documented runbook on day one - not by Slack DM.
Daily engineering
Fast CI, reproducible environments, observability built in, and a clear rollback story.
Enterprise deal
Security questionnaire answered from a maintained evidence library, not assembled from scratch under a deadline.
Engineer leaves
Offboarding runbook revokes every system within an hour and produces an audit log.
