Engagements where the outcome mattered.
Each case study leads with the decision, governance, or resilience outcome it delivered.
A proportionate recovery model: designing disaster recovery for Fast Thinking's multi-tenant BI platform
Fast Thinking runs a multi-tenant business intelligence and reporting platform for more than 50 enterprise customers across Europe, working to a 24-hour recovery target and a 48-hour maximum tolerable downtime. Epitechnic designed a cross-account Backup and Restore capability that meets the target with two to five hours of actual recovery time, proven through quarterly recovery exercises, at a fraction of the cost of a continuously running standby environment.
Confidence in someone else's delivery: independent assurance for a FTSE 100-listed manufacturer's Azure migration
A third-party partner built Meggitt's secure Azure landing zone and executed the migration of its digital manufacturing platform, an estate supporting a workforce of over 11,200 people across facilities in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Epitechnic provided independent architectural assurance, project management, and business analysis, giving Meggitt confidence in a migration it did not build in-house.
Continuous governance at scale: a shared AWS landing zone for Bauer Media Group's UK, German and Polish estate
Bauer Media Group's AWS estate had grown as three separately governed environments across the UK, Germany and Poland, each with its own accounts, network paths and access model. Epitechnic built a shared AWS landing zone with centralised governance, a controlled network design and an independently recoverable disaster-recovery account, bringing every account onto one operating model, moving continuous compliance from 62% to 98% and cutting detection latency from 24 hours to under 5 minutes.
Defensible go-live decisions: security governance for market-sensitive services at a central banking institution in the EU
A central banking institution in the EU needed security governance across cloud migration, operational security, and AI-enabled workloads for market-sensitive services. Epitechnic built go-live risk gates and control assurance checkpoints into its governance workflows, independently challenged supplier assurance evidence, and gave senior stakeholders a defensible basis for risk acceptance across approximately 50 services.
Evidence before commitment: an independent security assessment for a regulated aerospace manufacturer
Meggitt engaged Epitechnic for an independent assessment of proposed platform and architecture decisions in a security-critical engineering environment. Epitechnic reviewed identity, access, segregation, and data protection design against Meggitt's risk appetite and sector expectations, delivering findings and conditions the decision owners could act on directly.
Governed access and operational visibility: securing Radcliffe Group's content platforms
Radcliffe Group's four content platforms had inconsistent identity controls, no audit trail or threat detection, and fragmented monitoring that left users to report incidents. Epitechnic hardened access and the network edge, brought monitoring together in views for operations, security and leadership, and enforced pipeline-only change in production, reducing unauthorised access risk by 75% and detection time on the education platform by 89%.
Negotiating from a position of evidence: AWS Master Contract (EDP) advisory for a global logistics business
A global logistics business needed to negotiate its AWS Master Contract (Enterprise Discount Program) without a clear view of its own financial exposure or realistic discount value. Epitechnic built the client's negotiating position, produced the business case, and negotiated the agreement directly on the client's behalf.
One standard, every application: migrating 200+ critical systems to a secure, resilient AWS estate
Bauer Media Group engaged Epitechnic to migrate more than 200 critical applications from fragmented, on-premise infrastructure across the UK, Germany, and Poland to a centrally secured AWS estate. Epitechnic designed a Hub-and-Spoke architecture, built in automatic failover, and established a Cloud Centre of Excellence for lasting, cross-country ownership, reducing Total Cost of Ownership by up to 40% on some migrated workloads.
One view for the board: cyber governance across a decentralised media group
Bauer Media Group engaged Epitechnic to assess how cyber risk was owned, reported, and challenged across a decentralised international group. Epitechnic reviewed governance structures, reporting lines, and accountability, and designed a governance model and board reporting approach proportionate to the group's structure and risk profile.
Removing $600,000 in annual cloud waste: platform strategy and FinOps transformation for a global logistics business
A global logistics business engaged Epitechnic to assess its operating model, delivery capability, platform strategy, and FinOps maturity. Epitechnic produced the business case and delivered the operating model, team, and process changes needed, including a new FinOps team, removing over $600,000 in waste annually across the technology estate.
Resilience matched to business impact: tiered availability for Radcliffe Group's education and publishing platforms
Radcliffe Group, a UK publishing and media organisation, runs four public-facing content platforms on AWS, including an online learning platform that students rely on during exams. Epitechnic set recovery targets for each platform from a business impact analysis, treated ten material failure risks, and automated infrastructure and deployment, bringing all four platforms to 99.9% uptime and reducing incident-related downtime by 60%.
Scope before commitment: a NIS2 diagnostic across a multinational logistics group
A multinational logistics group, headquartered in the EU with operations across multiple Member States, engaged Epitechnic for a five-day NIS2 Readiness Diagnostic. Epitechnic established provisional scope, assessed governance readiness and control maturity, and delivered a programme readiness brief giving the management body a clear basis to decide on a full compliance programme.
Shrinking the blast radius: segmentation and access governance in a high-consequence environment
Meggitt needed to reduce the reachable attack surface in a high-consequence engineering environment without disrupting engineering delivery. Epitechnic focused on workload isolation, least privilege, and the governance of exceptions and recertification, sequenced so security improvement was delivered alongside live engineering work.
Understand before you move: reducing lateral movement risk in a global logistics finance segment
The finance segment of a global logistics business carried a lateral movement risk that hadn't been mapped with confidence. Using Epitechnic's methodology, the criticality of services, current architecture, object mapping, and data flow were established before blueprints were created and deployed to migrate services onto a more resilient architecture.
