Security & Compliance Services

Security built in, not bolted on

We're ISO 27001:2022 certified, a discipline that runs through everything we deliver. Security and compliance aren't afterthoughts — they're foundations that shape every architecture decision and deployment practice.

Whether you need to achieve certification yourself, meet regulatory requirements or simply want confidence that your systems are secure, we bring the expertise and processes to get you there.

+ New to security and compliance?

Security focuses on keeping your business data safe and protected, in alignment with customer requirements and industry standards. It ensures your systems are secure against threats, reduces the risk of data breaches and builds customer trust.

Compliance demonstrates your commitment to the security of sensitive information. For example, ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised compliance standard; achieving certification shows customers you're serious about data security.

The Microcelium advantage

Your system starts secure on day one because the foundations — encryption, audit trails, access controls — are built in from the start, not retrofitted before an audit. Our platform includes:

Secure-by-default infrastructure Hardened base images, encrypted storage and least-privilege access baked in

Audit-ready logging Comprehensive audit trails that satisfy ISO 27001 and regulatory requirements

Secrets management Vault-integrated credential handling with rotation and access controls

Vulnerability scanning Automated security checks in CI/CD pipelines

Security isn't a final step. It's in the foundation, and we configure it for your compliance needs.

What we deliver

ISO 27001 Support

Guidance and implementation support for achieving and maintaining ISO 27001 certification. We've been through the process ourselves and know what auditors look for.

Security Architecture

Threat modelling, secure design reviews and architecture patterns that protect your data. Defence in depth that doesn't slow down delivery.

Compliance Automation

Automated evidence collection, continuous compliance monitoring and audit-ready documentation. Less spreadsheet wrangling, more confidence.

Cyber Essentials

Support for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification. We help you implement the technical controls and prepare for assessment — straightforward, practical guidance from a team that's done it.

Incident Response

Runbooks, alerting and response procedures that turn security events into manageable incidents. Preparation that pays off when you need it.

Security that doesn't slow you down

Security and speed aren't trade-offs. The right foundations let you move fast because you're not constantly firefighting vulnerabilities or scrambling before audits.

We build security into the platform layer so your developers can focus on features, not compliance checklists.

Compliance as code

ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR — compliance requirements encoded into your infrastructure. Evidence generation is automatic and audits become routine.

Zero-trust architecture

Every request authenticated, every action logged. Least-privilege access isn't an afterthought — it's the default.

Incident-ready

Breaches happen. What matters is detection time and response capability. We build the monitoring, alerting and runbooks that turn incidents into non-events.

Frequently asked questions

What does ISO 27001 certification mean for my project?

It means your data is handled under an independently audited information security management system. Every engagement at AxisOps — from code to infrastructure to communications — follows the same certified processes. No cutting corners on a per-project basis.

Do you offer penetration testing and security audits?

Yes. We conduct application and infrastructure penetration testing, code reviews and architecture security audits. We provide actionable remediation plans — not just a list of CVEs — and can implement the fixes ourselves. We also partner with independent testing companies to validate our findings and give you independent assurance.

Can you help us achieve ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials?

Yes. Having been through the ISO 27001 certification process ourselves, we understand what auditors look for. We can guide you through gap analysis, policy creation, technical controls and audit preparation.

What you own

You own all the bespoke code, data and IP we build for you — that's written into every contract. Your repositories, your deployment configurations, your documentation: all yours from day one. Microcelium is the shared platform layer your solution runs on, with a perpetual licence on open standards. Our tooling, not your lock-in.
