Data protection
Data protection is designed in, not reviewed after the fact. Before anything is built, the specification sets out what personal data the product holds, who can see it, and how long it’s kept.
- Designed to meet UK GDPR, EU GDPR and US privacy standards from the first workshop
- Data flows, access rules and retention documented in the specification
- Direct input into your data protection impact assessments
- UK data hosting as standard, and US hosting for clients based in the US

Security testing
We arrange independent penetration testing for the products we build, through a CREST certified specialist partner. Everything runs through us, so you have one point of contact and nothing extra to organise.
- Independent penetration testing by a CREST certified specialist partner
- Arranged, managed and reported back through us
- Findings reported to you through us, with fixes planned into delivery

Accessibility
Accessibility is a requirement, not a review at the end. WCAG 2.2 AA is our default standard, and it’s written into the specification your product is signed off against.
- WCAG 2.2 AA as the default on every project
- Keyboard navigation, colour contrast and focus states specified up front
- Automated accessibility testing during design and build
6.0
Use of AI
We use AI tools where they make our work faster or better, inside the same controls as everything else we do. They don’t make decisions about your data, your security or your compliance. People do.
- Client data handled under our ISO 27001 controls and kept out of public AI tools
- AI tools never given unsupervised access to live systems or production data
- Every change reviewed by a member of our team before it’s released

Public sector & regulated work
We’ve delivered for public sector schemes, healthcare and financial services, where scrutiny is part of the brief. We understand the constraints these organisations work within, and we specify for them from the start.
