Cloud Security in Leicester
Securing what a Leicester business runs in the cloud. Nearly every serious cloud breach traces back to configuration rather than a provider failure — a storage bucket left public, credentials committed to a repository, or an administrator account without multi-factor authentication.
Why this comes up
The problem
Cloud providers secure the infrastructure; everything you build on it remains yours to secure. That division is written into every provider's terms and routinely misunderstood as a shared outcome rather than a shared responsibility.
What you get
What we deliver
- Public exposure audit — storage, databases, management ports reachable from the internet
- Identity review removing standing admin rights, long-lived keys and dormant accounts
- Multi-factor enforced on privileged access, not merely recommended
- Encryption verified at rest and in transit, with key management understood not assumed
- Network segmentation so a compromised workload cannot reach everything else
- Logging enabled and retained somewhere an attacker cannot delete it
- Findings ranked by exploitability with the fix for each, not a scanner dump

Working in Leicester
East Midlands
Leicester is our home city. We are based here, most of our team lives here, and a good share of our clients are within a half-hour drive — which means site visits, workshops and hardware installs happen in person rather than over a call.
The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor.

Cloud Security in Leicester — common questions
- Is the cloud not secure by default?
- The infrastructure is; your configuration of it is not. Under every provider's shared responsibility model, they secure the physical estate and the platform, and you own identity, access, network rules and data. Most incidents happen entirely on the customer's side of that line.
- What is the single most common problem you find?
- Standing administrative access — accounts with permanent full rights that nobody reviews, often including former staff and old automation. It is unglamorous and it is the finding that turns a small incident into a total one.
- Do we need a dedicated security tool?
- The native tooling from your provider covers most of what a small estate needs, and it is usually switched on but unread. Buying another product before acting on the alerts you already have rarely helps.
- Does this cover penetration testing?
- No — this is configuration and architecture review. A penetration test attacks the running application and is a separate exercise. Both are worth doing, and doing this one first means the test is not spent finding open ports.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leicester businesses do you usually work with?
- The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Textiles & Fashion, Logistics, Food & Drink, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leicester?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Northampton. Leicester is an urban area of roughly 560,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
