Security & Compliance

    Kubernetes Security

    A default cluster is permissive by design. Workloads run as root, pods talk to everything, and any service account can reach the API. Hardening is the work of closing that without stopping the team from shipping.

    Start with the audit

    No sales layer, no juniors. You meet the engineer before anything begins.

    // What is included

    What you get

    • RBAC reduced to what workloads and people actually use
    • Network policy so pods can only reach what they need
    • Pod security standards enforced, with the exceptions documented
    • Image provenance and scanning in the path to the cluster

    // How it runs

    The sequence

    1. 01

      Assess

    2. 02

      Harden

      RBAC, network policy and pod standards applied in stages.

    3. 03

      Verify

      Re-test, and document every exception that remains.

    Where this has been done before

    Client names under NDA. The numbers are not.

    SOC 2-ready security hardening (NDA)

    • IAM rewritten to least privilege with credential rotation
    • Secrets moved to Secrets Manager with Lambda rotation
    • WAF and rate limiting in front of public endpoints

    Controls in place and documented for the SOC 2 audit

    Before you ask

    Talk to the engineer who would do the work

    A 20 minute call. You describe your setup, you get an honest read on whether this helps, and the top risks worth looking at first.
