Our team has delivered at SECRET. We know what assessors look for, what controls actually matter, and how to build platforms that pass — not just ones that look like they should.
A structured four-phase methodology that embeds accreditation requirements into every stage of design, build and operations — so assessors receive complete, coherent packages, not retrospective documentation. Developed from real experience delivering at SECRET and PROTECTED.
Every document produced in formats IRAP assessors expect — no reformatting, no rewriting post-design.
Reusable, pre-assessed design patterns drawing on real classified-environment experience — no proof-of-concept overhead.
ISM controls satisfied by platform and configuration choices — not addressed in documentation alone.
Programme stalled for 9 months — no accreditation-ready artefacts produced.
Commercial-default configurations failing ISM controls at PROTECTED.
No SSPS, no risk register — IRAP assessment couldn’t commence.
Fixed deadline — 6 months to accreditation or programme descoped.
Redesigned cloud identity and endpoint posture in 6 weeks using pre-validated patterns.
Complete IRAP artefact package — SSPS, risk register, control evidence and SoA — produced concurrently.
IRAP assessment commenced within 10 weeks. Zero findings requiring re-assessment.
Operational capability achieved within the fixed deadline.
