Identity and privileged access
SSO, MFA, RBAC, privileged access management, just-in-time elevation and managed identities for service-to-service access without credentials.
Cloud Security, Compliance & Resilience
Zero-trust identity, encryption with client-held keys, segmentation, SIEM integration, vulnerability management and tested disaster recovery.
05 / Protect critical systems
Overview
Controls belong inside the platform, not around it. Cloudlit designs the identity, encryption, segmentation, logging and recovery layers into every environment it builds, applies zero-trust principles across the stack, and keeps monitoring for threats after go-live. Every control produces the evidence an auditor or regulator asks for.
What Cloudlit delivers
Encryption and key custody
Encryption at rest and in transit with client-controlled keys in KMS or HSM. Cloudlit never holds key material.
Network segmentation and edge protection
Tiered networks, private endpoints, no public path to internal services, WAF and DDoS protection at the edge, and encrypted private connectivity with automatic failover.
Workload and supply-chain security
Hardened images, signed artefacts, admission policies, container scanning and secrets management for containers and virtual machines.
Logging, SIEM and detection
Immutable audit trails for platform, access and model events, exported to the SIEM with alerting tuned for signal, plus data loss prevention where required.
Vulnerability and patch management
Continuous scanning, risk-based prioritisation and critical patches within 72 hours of vendor release, with evidence for compliance.
Backup and disaster recovery
Secondary site, async replication, tested failover, documented RPO and RTO and a full DR test twice a year.
Compliance evidence and audit packs
Control mappings, security architecture documents and evidence packs for internal audit, regulators and standards such as PCI DSS and HIPAA.
Outcomes
- A zero-trust posture that can be evidenced, not just described
- Data and keys that stay with the client, satisfying residency and sovereignty requirements
- Reduced attack surface with no publicly exposed backend or data services
- Recovery that is tested on a schedule, with 15-minute RPO and 4-hour RTO targets
- Fewer audit findings and faster regulatory sign-off
Why Cloudlit for this
Controls designed in
Security is part of the reference architecture Cloudlit builds from, so it is consistent wherever the workload runs.
Keys stay with you
Client-controlled keys in KMS or HSM on every platform, with Cloudlit never holding key material.
Audit-ready evidence
Immutable logs, monthly reporting and audit packs in the format your CISO and regulator expect.
Recovery that is rehearsed
DR is designed, documented and tested twice a year, not assumed.
How an engagement runs
- Risk evaluation and security architecture review
- Control design and mapping to regulatory obligations
- Implementation across identity, network, workload, logging and recovery
- Continuous monitoring, vulnerability management and DR testing under SLA
Frequently asked questions
Can Cloudlit work within an existing security operations centre?
Yes. Platform, access and application logs are exported to the client SIEM, and alerting, runbooks and escalation are integrated with the existing SOC and on-call processes.
Which compliance frameworks does Cloudlit support?
Controls are mapped to the client's obligations, including central bank and data protection requirements, PCI DSS and HIPAA, and evidence is produced in the format the auditor expects.
Is disaster recovery included in every platform?
Backup and recovery are designed into every production platform. The RPO and RTO targets, secondary site and test cadence are agreed in the operating agreement and reported monthly.
Bring us the Security & Resilience problem that matters most.
Cloudlit brings architecture, platform engineering, security and operations together so enterprise teams can move from complexity to a controlled production environment.
