(Quality, security & infrastructure)

Quality, security and the infrastructure your software sits on

Most software fails in the gaps: a defect nobody tested for, a permission nobody reviewed, a deploy nobody could roll back. This group covers the work that closes those gaps.

Quality, security & infrastructure

(Where quality comes from)

Quality is not a phase at the end of a project. It comes from tests that run on every commit, infrastructure described in code rather than remembered, dependencies somebody is watching, and access nobody holds more of than they need. Get those right and a release stops being an event.

The six services below overlap on purpose. A penetration test finds the weakness; the pipeline work is what lets you ship the fix the same week. Most clients start with one and pull in the next once they see what it touches.

Six services that keep software standing up

(What we deliver)

Where quality and security work usually starts

Nobody buys this in the abstract. These are the six conversations that actually bring people to us, and the service each one turns into.

  1. An enterprise customer or an insurer sends two hundred questions about your controls, and half the answers do not exist yet. A posture review turns that into a short list of things to fix, in the order that removes the most risk per day of work.

  2. Deploys are manual, the rollback is a person, and nobody is certain which version is live. Pipelines, environments and infrastructure as code make the next twenty releases dull — which is the point.

  3. Your QA person is the bottleneck and regression testing has quietly stopped happening. A written test strategy and an automated suite on the paths that cost money give that person their week back.

  4. Someone in procurement has asked for a penetration test report before they sign. Testing is scoped and authorised in writing, run against the agreed targets, and reported with evidence your developers can act on.

  5. You need to show where code is scanned, who approved a change and how secrets are held. Scanning in the pipeline and policy as code produce that evidence as a by-product of working, rather than as a scramble.

  6. A site to fit out, a VPN everyone hates, or a flat network where the finance server can reach the guest Wi-Fi. Design, segmentation and remote access, planned on paper before anything is cabled.

(How we work)

How the work runs

Every engagement is scoped in phases, priced per phase, and reviewed with you at the end of each one.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map the problem, the systems around it and what a good outcome looks like, then scope the work in phases you can stop after.

  2. 02

    Design

    Flows, architecture and interfaces agreed before anyone writes production code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week increments, a working environment you can open, and a demo at the end of each one.

  4. 04

    Testing

    Functional, performance, security and accessibility checks run through the build, not bolted on at the end.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Deployment, monitoring, documentation and the handover your team needs to run it.

  6. 06

    Support

    Fixes, updates and the next set of features, at an agreed monthly capacity.

(Why Team of Keys)

Why one team for testing, security and infrastructure

These three are usually bought from three suppliers, which is how a finding sits in a PDF for six months. Keeping them together shortens the distance between knowing and fixing.

  1. 01

    Findings that come with fixes

    A report that stops at "insufficient input validation" is half a job. Every finding we raise names the file, the fix and the retest, and the same bench can implement it if you would rather not.

  2. 02

    We say what is not worth doing

    Plenty of security spending buys very little. If your real exposure is a shared admin login and a backup nobody has restored, that is what the report will say, ahead of the expensive items.

  3. 03

    Standards as practice, not as a badge

    Testing follows OWASP ASVS, hardening follows the CIS benchmarks, accessibility follows WCAG 2.2. The studio holds no certification of its own and will not imply otherwise.

  4. 04

    Your accounts, your pipelines

    Cloud accounts, repositories, scanners and dashboards are set up in your name. Everything we build is documented well enough for your team to run it without us.

  5. 05

    Engineers, not a screening desk

    The people who test the system can read and write the code under it. That is what turns a scan result into a root cause instead of a ticket someone forwards.

(FAQ)

Questions, answered

Usually a posture review or a penetration test, because both end with a prioritised list rather than an opinion. A review is cheaper and broader; a test is narrower and harder evidence. If a customer or insurer has asked for something specific, buy that first and use the findings to plan the rest.

Yes, and that is the common arrangement. Testing, pipeline work and hardening sit alongside your team: we write the suites, the Terraform and the runbooks, review them with your engineers, and hand over. Some clients keep us for the ongoing part; others take it in-house after the first phase.

Each is scoped and priced on its own. A posture review or a focused penetration test is a fixed price against an agreed scope. Testing and DevOps work is usually a phase price or an agreed monthly capacity. You get the number before the work starts, not a day rate and a shrug.

No. Team of Keys holds no security certification, and we will not claim one. What we do is work to published standards — OWASP ASVS, the CIS benchmarks, GDPR data-protection practice — and produce the evidence your own auditor needs. If your procurement process requires an accredited supplier, we will tell you plainly.

The small-team version is different, not absent. Four people do not need a security operations centre; they need managed identity, device encryption, backups that have been restored once, dependency updates and a tested deploy. That package is a few weeks of work and covers most of what actually goes wrong.
