Smart Secure Services Book a review

Built by people who run the systems they advise on.

Smart Secure Services came out of operating live, assessed production estates: multi-cloud, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 audited, with every certificate, key and quota that implies. We started the firm because the AI tooling on offer did not take any of that seriously.

What we believe

Evidence over assertion

A recommendation is only worth what it rests on. We show the measurement, the provider's own figure, and the gaps in what we could read, and we expect to be checked.

Boring is a feature

In a regulated system, the exciting thing is the one that fails an audit. Read-only by default, proposals before actions, one login, one ledger. The clever part should be invisible.

Vendor-neutral, by construction

No resale, no commission, no preferred cloud. We work on Huawei Cloud as readily as AWS or Google Cloud, which is rarer than it should be.

Small on purpose

We take a few engagements at a time and would rather they be a good fit than a big number.

Where we work

Based in Lahore, Pakistan, working remotely with clients in the Gulf, Europe and the Americas. Reviews are done entirely remotely with a credential you issue; build and run engagements include regular calls in your working hours.

Experience across Huawei Cloud, AWS and Google Cloud; Kubernetes, Terraform and Ansible; PCI DSS and ISO/IEC 27001 assessments; payment network connectivity; mTLS, PKI and the certificate and key management that comes with all of it.

Talk to an engineer, not a salesperson.

Every first call is with the person who would do the work.
