IT & Cloud Services

Security & Compliance

Alpha Nextgen builds security into every layer of your cloud and software environment from architecture design and DevSecOps integration to identity management, compliance readiness, and penetration testing.

Security That Is Built In.
Not Bolted On.

Organisations that treat security as an afterthought discover the cost of that decision at the worst possible moment. Alpha Nextgen’s Security & Compliance practice takes the opposite approach embedding security controls, identity governance, and compliance frameworks into your cloud architecture, development pipelines, and operational processes from day one. From cloud security architecture design and DevSecOps pipeline integration to IAM implementation, audit readiness, and penetration testing, we give your organisation the technical depth and governance rigour needed to operate securely in a complex, regulated, and threat-rich environment. We hold ISO 27001:2013 certification at the group level so we bring the same information security discipline we apply internally to every client engagement.

DELIVERABLES

Security Across Every Layer

Cloud security architecture, DevSecOps, identity management, compliance readiness, and vulnerability assessment structured security services that protect your cloud and software estate end to end.

01 Cloud Security Architecture

Secure cloud infrastructure starts with secure design. Alpha Nextgen’s cloud security architects design protection frameworks that align to your risk profile, regulatory environment, and operational model implementing defence-in-depth controls across network, compute, data, and application layers.

Capabilities

Cloud security architecture review and design (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Network security: security groups, NACLs, WAF, DDoS protection (AWS Shield, Azure DDoS, Cloud Armor)
Data encryption at rest and in transit (KMS, Azure Key Vault, Cloud KMS)
Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault)
Security baseline implementation (CIS Benchmarks, NIST, AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, GCP Security Command Center)
Threat detection and SIEM integration (GuardDuty, Microsoft Sentinel, Chronicle)

02 DevSecOps Integration

Security belongs in the pipeline, not at the end of it. Alpha Nextgen integrates automated security testing and policy enforcement into your CI/CD workflows catching vulnerabilities at the point of code commit rather than after deployment, and embedding a security-first culture across your development and operations teams.

Capabilities

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) integration — SonarQube, Semgrep, Checkmarx
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) — OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Enterprise
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) — Snyk, Dependabot, OWASP Dependency Check
Container image scanning — Trivy, Clair, AWS Inspector, Defender for Containers
Infrastructure as Code security scanning — Checkov, tfsec, KICS
Security policy-as-code (OPA, AWS SCPs, Azure Policy)
Security gate enforcement in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI)

03 Identity & Access Management (IAM)

The majority of cloud security incidents involve compromised or over-privileged identities. Alpha Nextgen designs and implements rigorous identity and access management frameworks enforcing least-privilege access, centralising identity governance, and implementing strong authentication across your entire cloud and application estate.

Capabilities

IAM architecture design: roles, policies, and permission boundaries (AWS IAM, Azure AD/Entra ID, GCP IAM)
Least-privilege access design and enforcement
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementation and enforcement
Single Sign-On (SSO) integration (AWS SSO, Azure AD SSO, Okta, Auth0)
Privileged Access Management (PAM) — CyberArk, BeyondTrust, AWS PAM
Service account and workload identity governance
IAM audit, access review, and permission drift remediation

04 Compliance & Audit Readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS)

Regulatory compliance is not a one-time project it is an ongoing operational discipline. Alpha Nextgen maps your cloud and application environment to the specific requirements of your compliance frameworks, implements the technical controls needed to meet them, and prepares your organisation to face audits with confidence and minimal disruption.

Capabilities

Compliance gap assessment against SOC 2 Type I & II, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR
Technical control implementation aligned to compliance requirements
Policy and procedure documentation development
Evidence collection automation and audit trail management
Continuous compliance monitoring (AWS Security Hub, Azure Policy, GCP Security Command Center)
Third-party audit preparation and support
Compliance dashboard and reporting implementation

05 Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing

Understanding your vulnerabilities before an attacker exploits them is the foundation of proactive security. Alpha Nextgen conducts structured vulnerability assessments and penetration tests across your cloud infrastructure, web applications, APIs, and network perimeter delivering clear, prioritised findings and actionable remediation guidance.
