The startup IT timing problem
You have to move fast, ship product and win customers. At the same time, investors and enterprise buyers expect the security posture of a company ten times your size.
Build that infrastructure too early and you burn capital. Build it too late and the technical debt lands exactly when you can least afford it.
We size IT support for London startups to solve that timing problem. Secure from day one, certified when someone asks, and built so Series A does not mean starting again.
Cloud infrastructure that does not eat your runway
Your cloud should accelerate you, not become a cost centre. Too many startups either over-provision and burn runway, or under-invest and pay for a migration when scale arrives.
We design architecture on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud for your current stage and the next one. Auto-scaling, cost controls, infrastructure-as-code and proper environment separation go in from the start.
When the product takes off, the infrastructure follows it and the bill stays predictable.
Security that does not slow your engineers down
Enterprise security stacks assume a dedicated security team and a six-figure budget. You need protection that nobody has to babysit and that developers will not route around.
We cover the surface that matters: endpoint detection and response, email security, identity and access management, and continuous monitoring. It sits quietly until it stops something.
That is the posture that gets you through a customer security questionnaire and investor due diligence without hiring a CISO.
Answer “Do you have SOC 2?” without losing the deal
That question now appears in investor due diligence and enterprise procurement as standard. Not having an answer costs deals and weakens your position on the ones you keep.
We run readiness programmes end to end: policy development, technical controls, evidence collection and pre-audit preparation. Your founding team stays on the product.
Cyber Essentials is usually a matter of weeks. SOC 2 readiness takes longer, so we assess where you actually are before you commit to a date with a customer.
Borrow CTO-level judgement when you need it
Technical founders use us as a sounding board on architecture. Non-technical founders use us for the whole stack.
We advise on cloud architecture, vendor selection, build-versus-buy, security strategy and technical due diligence preparation. When an investor or acquirer wants to understand your technology, we help you present a picture that holds up to scrutiny.
Scaling from 10 to 100 without the growing pains
The stretch from 10 to 50 to 100 people is where IT either scales or collapses. Identity management, onboarding automation, network design and security policy all have to move with headcount.
We build those foundations early and extend them as you grow. Your hundredth hire gets the same onboarding as your tenth, and your security posture gets stronger with scale rather than thinner.
