Cloud security, architecture & consulting for growing businesses.
Evidence-driven security governance and Azure architecture — grounded in peer-reviewed research, built for organisations that need to prove their controls, not just claim them.
Four engagements, one discipline: security you can evidence.
Cloud Security Architecture & Review
Design and independent review of secure cloud architectures, with a specialism in Microsoft Azure — landing zones, identity, network segmentation and control validation.
CRIS-SME Security Governance Assessment
A structured assessment of your cloud security governance against Aureon's CRIS-SME framework, developed through peer-reviewed research. Now live as an interactive demo.
See the frameworkPost-Quantum Cryptography Readiness
Locate where quantum-vulnerable cryptography sits across your estate, and plan a staged migration to quantum-safe algorithms — informed by active R&D in the field.
IT & Cloud Consulting for SMEs
Pragmatic advisory for small and medium enterprises — from cloud adoption and cost control to the day-to-day IT decisions that shape your security posture.
CRIS-SME
CRIS-SME is Aureon's proprietary cloud security governance framework for small and medium enterprises, developed through peer-reviewed academic research. It gives organisations without a dedicated security function a defensible, evidence-based way to govern their cloud controls.
Try the live demoAssessment
We benchmark your current cloud governance against the CRIS-SME control domains and record the evidence behind each finding.
Roadmap
You receive a prioritised, cost-aware roadmap — the specific changes that raise your posture most, sequenced to fit an SME's resources.
Ongoing Governance
We keep the evidence current through recurring reviews, so your governance holds up as your cloud estate and the threat landscape change.
The CRIS family also includes CRIS-IoMT, an adaptation for healthcare and medical IoT (Internet of Medical Things) environments, where connected devices and patient data raise the governance stakes.
Software we build and run.
CatchIt — the deadline radar
Hackathons, free credits, scholarships, internships and conference CFPs — auto-discovered, human-verified, and surfaced to students, researchers and professionals while there's still time to act.
