Capability 1

Software Development

We design and build the software organisations depend on: citizen-facing services, internal platforms, APIs and integrations, engineered to be secure, accessible and maintainable long after launch.

Every engagement starts with the people who will use the service and the outcome the organisation needs. Our multidisciplinary teams of engineers, designers and delivery leads work in short increments, putting working software in front of users early and improving it on evidence rather than assumption. We write code your team can own, document it properly and hand over with confidence.

What we deliver

1

Custom web applications

Responsive, accessible applications built around real user needs, from case management tools to public-facing portals.

2

Enterprise platforms and portals

Role-based platforms that bring staff, partners and customers into one secure workspace with the right access for each.

3

APIs and system integration

Well-documented APIs and integration layers that connect legacy systems, third-party services and new products reliably.

4

Mobile applications

Cross-platform apps for field teams and customers, with offline support where connectivity cannot be relied on.

5

Legacy modernisation

Incremental replacement of ageing systems, migrating data and functionality without disrupting live services.

6

Quality engineering

Automated testing, code review and accessibility checks built into every release rather than added at the end.

How we work

  1. 1

    Discover and define

    Research users, map the current process and agree the problem, scope and measures of success.

  2. 2

    Design and prototype

    Shape the architecture and test interactive prototypes with users before committing to build.

  3. 3

    Build in increments

    Deliver working features every sprint, with automated tests and continuous integration from day one.

  4. 4

    Release and support

    Launch safely, monitor in production and keep improving the service with planned support.

What you can expect

  • Services designed to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidelines
  • Shorter, lower-risk release cycles through automated pipelines
  • Clean, documented codebases your own team can maintain
  • Measurable gains in task completion and user satisfaction

Capability 2

Cybersecurity

We help organisations understand their risk, close the gaps that matter and build security into the way systems are designed, deployed and operated.

Security is most effective when it is part of delivery rather than a final gate. We assess where you are today, prioritise the risks that would hurt most, and work alongside your teams to fix them. The result is a security posture you can evidence to boards, auditors and procurement teams, and that keeps pace as your systems change.

What we deliver

1

Security assessments and penetration testing

Structured testing of applications, networks and cloud environments to find weaknesses before attackers do.

2

Secure architecture review

Threat modelling and design review that builds controls into new systems from the start.

3

Compliance readiness

Practical support towards Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and UK GDPR obligations, with evidence ready for audit.

4

Monitoring and incident response

Logging, alerting and response playbooks so threats are detected quickly and handled calmly.

5

Identity and access management

Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and least-privilege access across staff and systems.

6

Security awareness

Training that helps staff recognise phishing, handle data safely and report concerns early.

How we work

  1. 1

    Assess

    Review systems, policies and controls against recognised frameworks and your threat landscape.

  2. 2

    Prioritise

    Rank findings by business impact and likelihood, so effort goes where it reduces most risk.

  3. 3

    Remediate

    Fix vulnerabilities and strengthen controls with your teams, verifying each change.

  4. 4

    Monitor and improve

    Track posture over time, retest regularly and adapt as systems and threats evolve.

What you can expect

  • A clear, prioritised view of your security risk
  • Evidence ready for audits and procurement questionnaires
  • A smaller attack surface across applications and infrastructure
  • Staff who recognise and report threats early

What we work with

  • NCSC guidance
  • Cyber Essentials
  • ISO 27001
  • OWASP Top 10
  • NIST CSF
  • UK GDPR
  • Zero Trust
  • Microsoft Entra ID

Capability 3

Cloud & Infrastructure

We plan, migrate and run cloud environments on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, designed for resilience, security and predictable cost.

Moving to the cloud should make services more reliable and easier to change, not just relocate the same problems. We start from your workloads, data and constraints, design a secure foundation, and migrate in planned waves that keep services running. Everything is defined as code, so environments are repeatable, auditable and easy to recover.

What we deliver

1

Cloud strategy and readiness

Assess your estate, choose the right platform and build a costed roadmap for adoption.

2

Migration and re-platforming

Move applications and data in managed waves, modernising where it delivers clear value.

3

Infrastructure as code

Version-controlled, reviewed infrastructure that can be rebuilt consistently in any environment.

4

DevOps and CI/CD

Automated build, test and deployment pipelines that let teams release frequently and safely.

5

Managed operations

Monitoring, patching, backup and on-call support that keeps platforms healthy around the clock.

6

Cost optimisation

Right-sizing, reserved capacity and spend visibility so cloud costs stay under control.

How we work

  1. 1

    Assess the estate

    Inventory workloads, dependencies and data, and agree target outcomes and constraints.

  2. 2

    Design the foundation

    Build a secure landing zone with networking, identity, logging and guardrails in place.

  3. 3

    Migrate in waves

    Move workloads in planned groups with rehearsed cutovers and tested rollback.

  4. 4

    Operate and optimise

    Run the platform, track performance and cost, and keep improving after go-live.

What you can expect

  • Higher availability and faster recovery from failure
  • Repeatable environments from development to production
  • Lower, more predictable infrastructure spend
  • Faster, automated deployments with full audit trails

What we work with

  • AWS
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud
  • Terraform
  • Kubernetes
  • Docker
  • Azure DevOps
  • GitHub Actions
  • Prometheus and Grafana

Capability 4

Artificial Intelligence

We help organisations apply AI where it creates real value, from automating routine work to surfacing insight in their data, with governance and human oversight built in.

Successful AI starts with a well-defined problem and good data, not a model. We work with you to find use cases worth pursuing, prove their value quickly on your own data, and then build them into dependable services. Throughout, we design for transparency, privacy and human oversight, so the people accountable for decisions stay in control.

What we deliver

1

AI readiness and strategy

Identify high-value use cases, assess data maturity and set out a responsible adoption roadmap.

2

Machine learning models

Forecasting, classification and anomaly detection models trained and validated on your data.

3

Generative AI assistants

Assistants grounded in your own documents and knowledge, with sources cited and access controlled.

4

Intelligent document processing

Extract, classify and route information from forms, letters and records at scale.

5

Process automation

Automate repetitive, rules-based tasks so teams can focus on work that needs judgement.

6

Data platforms and analytics

Reliable data pipelines and dashboards that give decision-makers a trusted view of performance.

How we work

  1. 1

    Identify use cases

    Find problems where AI can measurably help, and check the data and risks involved.

  2. 2

    Prove value

    Build a focused proof of concept on real data and test it against agreed success measures.

  3. 3

    Productionise

    Engineer the solution into a secure, scalable service integrated with existing systems.

  4. 4

    Govern and monitor

    Monitor accuracy, drift and bias, with clear accountability and human review where it matters.

What you can expect

  • Hours of manual processing removed from everyday work
  • Decisions supported by timely, trustworthy data
  • AI that is explainable, auditable and privacy-aware
  • Models monitored for accuracy, drift and bias over time

What we work with

  • Python
