We run what we build. And what you already built.

24/7 NOC + SOC + platform engineering — with SLAs that actually mean something, senior engineers on every escalation, and a monthly scorecard your CFO can read. Fully managed, or co-managed with your team in the cockpit.

What's inside

Six operational capabilities, one accountable line.

Our managed service isn't a tiered helpdesk. It's the same senior engineers who architect your systems, now responsible for running them — with named people on every escalation.

M·01

NOC & SRE

24/7 monitoring, incident command and reliability engineering — SLOs, error budgets and blameless postmortems as a matter of course.

  • Tiered 24/7 response with named engineers
  • SLO/error-budget governance
  • Chaos drills + DR exercises
M·02

SOC & MDR

Integrated security operations with our Cybersecurity practice — SIEM/XDR on your tenant, Tier 3 analysts on-shift, IR retainer bundled.

  • Sub-15-min triage, Tier 1–3 on-shift
  • Detection engineering included
  • 1-hour IR engagement SLA
M·03

Platform engineering

Continuous improvement of the internal developer platforms we operate — golden paths, golden pipelines, FinOps guardrails.

  • Monthly platform capability roadmap
  • Cost & perf regression guardrails
  • Self-service within policy
M·04

FinOps

Unit economics, commitment management and anomaly detection — with monthly savings reported in real dollars, not percentages.

  • Showback & chargeback per tenant
  • Commitment & savings-plan steering
  • Cost guardrails in the pipeline
M·05

Compliance evidence

Policy-as-code, automated collection, and a real-time control-drift dashboard shared with your GRC team — audits become a report, not a project.

  • SOX, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2
  • Control drift detection, real-time
  • Audit liaison & narrative authorship
M·06

Co-managed & staff aug

Your team stays in the cockpit. We take nights, weekends, compliance evidence and the 3 a.m. escalations. Fully reversible at any milestone.

  • Named partner on your QBR
  • Joint runbooks & on-call rotation
  • Clean-exit clause in every SOW

Stack-agnostic, runbook-opinionated.

We operate on your licenses, your tenants and your cloud accounts. Our value is the runbooks, the engineers and the pager — not the tools.

Featured engagement

A regional bank — 99.99% across five years, audited.

A $140B-asset regional bank handed us its core-adjacent platforms with a single non-negotiable: no material audit findings. Five years in, we haven't had one.

CASE 11 · Managed operations · 5 years

Five years. 99.99% SLA. Zero material audit findings.

We operate 47 core-adjacent applications, the shared platform and the 24/7 SOC. Our monthly scorecard goes to the board's Technology Committee without a redline.

Frequently asked

What operators ask before signing the retainer.

Do you take over our existing systems or only what you built? +

Both. Roughly 40% of our managed engagements are systems we didn't originally design. We run a two-week discovery to inherit runbooks, close gaps and set a fair starting SLA before we sign.

How do SLA credits work? +

Transparent, per-tier, and applied automatically on the next month's invoice — not via a claims process. Credits are meaningful (5–25% of monthly fee depending on miss severity), because SLAs that don't cost us aren't commitments.

What does co-managed look like in practice? +

Your team owns strategy, in-hours response and product decisions. We take overnight and weekend pager, compliance evidence, patching, FinOps and the third-tier escalations. Runbooks and on-call rotations are joint from day one.

Can we exit? How clean is it? +

Very clean — it's a feature. Every retainer has a written exit plan with a 60-day structured handover, runbook library handoff and a pairing window. We've handed off 14 retainers to client in-house teams without drama.

Do you use offshore talent? +

We staff follow-the-sun across DC, Dublin, São Paulo and Singapore with senior engineers in every hub. US-government work is US-person-staffed end-to-end; EU work has EU-resident staffing in business hours. No body-shop subcontracting.

How do you price? +

Fixed monthly retainer sized to the tier + scope envelope, with transparent unit pricing for above-envelope work. We do not bill by ticket count.
