Governance & compliance

SaaS & PaaS
Compliance.

Cloud adoption doesn't remove your compliance responsibilities — it evolves them. We help you understand where your obligations begin and end, and ensure your cloud platforms are configured and governed in line with recognised standards.

The shared responsibility model.

When you adopt a SaaS or PaaS platform, security and compliance don't become someone else's problem. Under the shared responsibility model, the provider secures the underlying infrastructure — but your organisation remains responsible for how the platform is configured, who has access, and how data is handled.

Many businesses don't fully understand where their responsibility begins. We help you close that gap — practically, and without unnecessary complexity.
