Needs

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Several security and privacy certifications must be kept current while the company scales; we want control mapping and evidence gathering automated.

Today: hiring a dedicated engineer to script evidence collection and control testing · Urgency: now

Continuous compliance monitoring. We need policy-as-code checks that flag when hybrid cloud and on-prem environments drift away from our controls.

Today: building policy-as-code checks and dashboards to catch drift across estates · Urgency: now

Cloud security posture. Our container clusters span providers and our own hardware, and posture visibility across them is patchy.

Today: a security officer role owns container platform hardening alongside the certification programme · Urgency: this year
