Security, Modernisation & Support
Application security, quality assurance, legacy modernisation and long-term maintenance, so a system stays secure, reliable and supported once it is in production.
Cybersecurity & Application Security
Security as an integral part of software engineering. For specialised requirements we work within appropriate professional and compliance frameworks and engage specialist resources where required.
Includes
- Application security assessment
- Secure authentication
- Authorisation and access control
- API security
- Data protection
- Security configuration
- Vulnerability assessment
- Secure software development practices
- Logging and audit trails
- Backup and recovery planning
- Security-conscious infrastructure design
Software Testing & Quality Assurance
Quality is an engineering discipline: testing applied throughout the development lifecycle to identify defects early, reduce production risk and improve reliability.
QA activities can include
- Requirements validation
- Functional testing
- Regression testing
- API testing
- Integration testing
- Performance testing
- Security testing
- User acceptance testing
- Automated testing
- Browser and device testing
- Production verification
Legacy System Modernisation
Modernising technology without losing business continuity: carefully planned, approached as an engineering programme rather than simply a technology upgrade.
Includes
- Architecture assessment
- Codebase assessment
- Database modernisation
- API enablement
- UI modernisation
- Cloud migration
- Performance optimisation
- Security improvements
- Incremental replacement
- Data migration
Application Maintenance & Support
Launching software is the beginning of its operational lifecycle, not the end. Support can be structured around the operational requirements and criticality of each system.
Support may include
- Bug fixes
- Security updates
- Performance optimisation
- Application monitoring
- Infrastructure support
- Database maintenance
- Feature enhancements
- Technical troubleshooting
- Version upgrades
- Backup management
- System health reviews
Security and data protection practices
We incorporate security considerations throughout the software lifecycle. This includes:
- Secure authentication
- Role-based permissions
- Access control
- Secure API design
- Encryption where appropriate
- Input validation
- Audit logging
- Secure secrets management
- Database security
- Backup strategies
- Vulnerability management
- Secure deployment practices
Quality assurance
Our quality approach focuses on preventing problems rather than discovering them after deployment.
