Identity security, engineered for outcomes.
Advisory defines your target state. Engineering delivers it. Managed services keep it running. Three connected disciplines, one specialist consultancy.
Start with clarity,
not a product recommendation.
CEO-led advisory engagements that begin with a rigorous understanding of your current state, business objectives, and constraints. We help you understand where you are, define where you need to be, and build a roadmap grounded in your environment.

Our preferred engagement approach
Every organisation is different, but this is the approach we find delivers the best outcomes. We adapt it to your needs, constraints, and pace.
- 01
Discovery & Assessment
We start by listening. Our consultants map your current identity environment, interview stakeholders, and identify gaps against frameworks like the Essential Eight, NIST, and your internal policies.
- 02
Architecture & Design
We design a target-state architecture tailored to your organisation, covering IAM, PAM, Entra ID, Conditional Access, lifecycle workflows, and integration with your existing ecosystem.
- 03
Build & Implement
Our engineers build and configure your identity platform using our proven blueprints and SOPs. We adapt our existing IP to your environment. You don't pay us to reinvent the wheel.
- 04
Test & Validate
Every deployment undergoes rigorous validation: functional testing, security review, and user acceptance. We verify that policies enforce correctly and access flows work as designed.
- 05
Knowledge Transfer & Uplift
We train your team to own and evolve the platform independently. Documentation, runbooks, and hands-on workshops ensure you're never dependent on us to run your IAM environment.
- 06
Ongoing Support & Advisory
Post go-live, we offer flexible support retainers, from break-fix to strategic advisory. As your environment evolves, we help you adapt and continuously improve.
Fixed-cost identity engagements. No surprises.
Not every identity challenge requires a six-month programme. Our Azure Marketplace offerings are scoped, priced, and ready to go. Purchase through your existing Microsoft billing and count it toward your MACC.
- 01

Rapid assessment of your identity ecosystem using Apporetum. Correlate data across HR, AD, Entra ID, and disconnected systems to surface gaps you did not know existed.
- 02
MIM Migration to Entra ID
Structured migration path from Microsoft Identity Manager to cloud-native Entra ID lifecycle workflows, provisioning, and governance.
- 03

In-depth review of your Conditional Access policies to identify gaps, misconfigurations, and opportunities to strengthen your zero-trust posture.
