Cloud Governance For Mission-Critical Teams
Trusted by 150+ Enterprise & Government Organizations

Your Cloud Costs More Than Your Bill Shows.

We help enterprise IT and security teams eliminate invisible cloud waste and pass every audit — without adding headcount.

If your cloud bill grows faster than you can explain it, your next audit is months of manual evidence gathering, and your security team has more alerts than answers — you're not behind. You're building on the wrong foundation.

You Already Know Something Is Wrong

These aren’t problems we discovered. These are the conversations happening in your leadership meetings right now.

💸

“Our cloud bill grows every quarter, and I can’t fully explain why.”

You produce reports for finance, but you know they’re incomplete. Costs keep growing — not just from usage, but from waste no one has time to track down. The FinOps team is always reactive, never ahead of it.

🔒

“Every audit cycle is a 3-month fire drill.”

Your team scrambles to gather evidence that should already exist. The same controls get re-mapped every year. You know there’s a better way — but no one has the capacity to build it while keeping the lights on.

🚨

“I don’t have a full picture of what’s actually running in our cloud.”

New accounts, shadow projects, forgotten dev environments — you know they’re out there. Every quarter something surfaces that shouldn’t exist. You can’t defend what you can’t see.

These are solvable problems. Every client we work with starts exactly where you are now.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Cloud problems don’t stay the same size. They compound.

$175K
Lost Every Month

The average enterprise with 50+ cloud accounts loses $175,000/month to invisible waste — orphaned resources, untagged workloads, and oversized commitments no single cloud dashboard surfaces.

6 hrs
Industry Average MTTR

At the 6-hour industry average, a credential breach has already become a data exfiltration event before your team receives the first alert. Our clients average 8.3 minutes.

$1M+
Per Failed Audit

FedRAMP delays, SOC 2 finding remediation, and healthcare breach fines routinely exceed $1M — not counting the contract losses that follow a public compliance failure.

What We Do

Three Outcomes. One Platform.

We don’t sell services — we deliver outcomes. Every engagement solves one of these three problems completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you reduce our cloud costs?
Most clients see initial savings within 30 days. Quick wins like rightsizing, idle resource cleanup, and scheduling typically deliver 15–25% savings in the first month. Full optimization including Reserved Instance and Savings Plan management takes 60–90 days to fully optimize.
Do you replace our internal cloud team?
No — we extend your team. Your engineers focus on building products. We handle the governance, monitoring, compliance, and operations overhead. Most clients find their internal team becomes more effective after onboarding us because they're no longer buried in toil work.
How do you access our cloud environments?
We use read-only IAM roles for discovery and assessment. Any write-access required for remediation uses just-in-time ephemeral credentials with full audit logging. We never store long-lived credentials. All access is logged, time-bound, and fully revocable.
Which compliance frameworks do you support?
We support 14+ frameworks including FedRAMP High/Moderate, SOC 2 Type I & II, ISO 27001, HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS 4.0, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF 2.0, CMMC 2.0, CIS Benchmarks, GDPR, CCPA, StateRAMP, and TX-RAMP. We map controls across frameworks so overlapping requirements are addressed once, not separately.
What's your minimum contract term?
We structure engagements as month-to-month after a 90-day onboarding period, or annual with a discount. We're confident in our results — we don't need to lock clients into long contracts. Our renewal rate is 94% because clients stay because of outcomes, not contractual obligation.
