Engineering remediation for your compliance clients
You surface the failing controls — on a SOC 2 readiness engagement, a vCISO retainer, or an MSP contract. I do the engineering that closes them: the cloud, CI/CD, and evidence work your clients need shipped, not just documented.
Advisors who find the gaps but do not build the fixes
Compliance-automation platforms and advisory work are excellent at surfacing what is wrong. The implementation — the pull request, the Terraform, the merged config — usually falls outside the engagement. That is the gap I fill.
The controls that need engineering, not a policy template
Identity & access
MFA enforcement, least-privilege IAM, removing standing admin, access reviews.
Logging & monitoring
Audit logging enabled across clouds, retention set and locked, log sinks and alerts.
GitHub / CI/CD
Branch protection and rulesets, required reviews and status checks, deploy approvals.
Scanning
Dependency, secret, and image scanning turned on and wired into CI so it stays on.
Backups & recovery
Backup configuration plus a real, documented restore test — not just a checkbox.
Evidence packaging
Every fix comes with its artifact, sanitized for the buyer, filed in an evidence folder.
Three engagement modes
However we structure it, you keep the advisory relationship and the client stays yours. I am the implementation layer, not a competitor for the account.
Subcontracted
I work behind your brand. Your client sees your firm; I deliver the engineering under you.
Co-delivered
We split the work — you own advisory and the client relationship, I own implementation.
Referred
You hand off the implementation entirely and stay informed. Best when it is out of scope for you.
What your client gets, and what you can hand them
- Merged fixes in the client environment, shipped through their infrastructure-as-code so they survive the next deploy.
- A finding → implementation → verification → evidence artifact for each control closed.
- A sanitized, buyer-ready evidence pack alongside the internal originals.
- Scoped, read-only access to the systems in play — with a clear boundary on what is off-limits.
- A clear yes/no on fit after a short call, and fixed scope before any larger work.
