Technology & SaaS

Pain points

What technology & saas operators are wrestling with

  • Architecture decisions made at Series A constrain Series D

    Tenant model, identity, billing and data architecture decisions taken early can throttle enterprise expansion years later.

  • Enterprise readiness lags product velocity

    SOC 2, ISO 27001, SSO, audit logs and role-based access become the limiter on landing strategic enterprise customers.

  • Reliability and cost outpace observability investment

    On-call burden grows faster than telemetry maturity; cost-to-serve becomes opaque as the platform scales.

  • Platform engineering identity is unclear

    Platform, infra and developer-experience responsibilities blur — slowing both product delivery and reliability work.

Regulatory drivers

Frameworks shaping the engineering bar

Named standards we treat as first-class constraints — not after-the-fact compliance theatre.

  • SOC 2 Type II
    Global (US-led)

    Independent attestation of controls over security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy.

  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022
    Global

    Information security management system certification — increasingly procurement-mandatory for enterprise B2B SaaS.

  • EU AI Act
    European Union

    Risk-tiered obligations for AI providers and deployers, with elevated requirements for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems.

  • UK / EU GDPR
    United Kingdom / European Union

    Processor obligations, sub-processor disclosures, DPAs and transfer mechanisms underpin enterprise procurement.

Modernization themes

How we modernise technology & saas estates

  • 01

    Control-plane re-platforming

    Re-architect provisioning, tenancy, identity and observability for the scale the product is heading to, not the scale it was built at.

  • 02

    Enterprise-readiness program

    A coordinated push on SSO, audit logs, RBAC, data residency, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 — sequenced to unblock named accounts.

  • 03

    Platform engineering

    Internal developer platform with paved paths, golden services and SLO-led reliability — turning platform into a product.

  • 04

    AI capability with credible governance

    Model selection, evaluation harnesses, prompt provenance and customer-facing transparency — built for procurement, not just product.

Operational risks

Risks we surface upfront

Transformation carries real exposure. We name it before kickoff so it can be engineered around.

  • Tenant isolation regressions during refactor

    critical

    Multi-tenant boundary changes carry data-leak risk; rollout patterns must include shadow traffic, canaries and reversible cutovers.

  • Compliance theatre over engineered controls

    high

    SOC 2 evidence collected outside the delivery pipeline drifts from reality and erodes trust at re-audit.

  • On-call burnout under reliability debt

    medium

    Without disciplined SLOs and error budgets, reliability work loses to feature work — until incidents force the conversation.
