Six situations, and who owns them now.
These six share a customer profile: a major financial institution with an estate that reaches past its own walls into group companies. Each card is one domain of that estate — the situation it presented, and who carries it today.

Identity and access for a US$25B-scale financial institution
People join, move and leave continuously. Every one of those is an access decision, and every access decision has to be evidenced.
The institution needed the joiner–mover–leaver lifecycle, the entitlement model and the certification campaigns held as one running service rather than a project that ends. That is what it handed over. The evidence is now produced as the work happens, instead of being assembled the week an auditor asks for it.

Cloud security for a US$25–30B-scale enterprise
Posture, workload protection and cloud identity are three different problems. In most organisations they are three different suppliers as well.
The institution wanted them under one owner and one reporting cadence, because the gaps between three suppliers are nobody’s job until something falls into one. All three now run as a single service across its cloud estate.

Network and firewall security for a multi-billion-dollar institution
A firewall rule base only ever grows. Every rule had a reason once, and the reason is rarely written down.
The institution needed the policy set, the filtering configuration and the change control around them held together rather than separately. They are now held together — so a rule that is added has an owner, and a rule that has outlived its reason can be retired against a record instead of a guess.

Key management for a major financial institution
A key nobody has listed is a key nobody can rotate. Encryption is only ever as good as the inventory behind it.
The institution’s sensitive records sit behind database encryption, which makes the key lifecycle a control in its own right. That lifecycle came across whole — operations, generation, rotation and the inventory that lets somebody attest to all three.

Endpoint security across a major financial group
The estate does not stop at the parent company. Group-company machines sit on the same network and the same risk register.
That reach is what made endpoint coverage hard to hold in-house. It now runs to one standard across the institution and its group companies — from the build a machine starts life on to the certificate that would otherwise expire unnoticed on a weekend.

Secure web gateway for a major financial institution
Every transfer is a web-access change. And every blocked category is somebody’s business need until it has been looked at.
The institution needed categorisation, blocking policy and the change traffic its own people generate handled as routine rather than as exceptions. A reclassification request and a personnel move now land in the same queue, with the same turnaround.

A different customer. The same handover.
A global insurance and device-protection provider had data science to do rather than defences to hold — a different problem entirely, handed over the same way. A defined scope, a named owner, and results reported on a cadence the customer sets rather than one that suits us.

What you are actually buying.
Intake
Every request arrives through one queue, whichever domain it belongs to.
Run
Changes are made under the customer's change control, not ours.
Evidence
Every action leaves a record built for the next audit, not for us.
Report
One cadence across all six domains, and one owner presenting it.
Review
Scope is re-cut when the estate changes, not when the contract renews.
Complex environments. Practical solutions. Trusted delivery.
The scope is exact. The customer is not named.
Everything above describes what we were accountable for, in the detail an evaluator needs. None of it identifies whose environment it is — that is theirs to disclose, not ours.
