Running on the cloud changes where your risk lives. Your infrastructure, platform, and data now sit with providers operating under contracts they wrote and would prefer you sign unread. We help you negotiate cloud service agreements across IaaS, PaaS, and hybrid deployments, and manage the security, compliance, and continuity risks that come with them.
Negotiating With Providers
The hyperscalers present click-through terms as non-negotiable, and for small accounts they often are. We know which clauses move and which do not, and we focus your leverage where it counts: liability caps, security commitments, data terms, and notice rights. For specialized or enterprise deals there is real room to push, and we use it to swap one-sided defaults for protections you can rely on.
Security and Compliance
Whether you can put a given workload in the cloud at all often turns on the regulations you operate under. We map your obligations under frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, or sector-specific rules to what the provider actually commits to in writing, including certifications, audit rights, and shared-responsibility boundaries. The result is a deployment that holds up when a regulator or customer asks how you are protecting their data.
Data Protection and Sovereignty
Cloud computing means trusting a provider with information you are still on the hook for. We lock down data ownership, confidentiality, and the customer's right to access and export everything on demand. Cross-border processing gets particular attention, because where your data physically rests can pull in foreign laws and transfer restrictions you did not bargain for when you picked a region.
Multi-Cloud and Portability
Concentrating everything with one provider is convenient until it is not. We advise on multi-cloud and hybrid strategies that reduce lock-in and improve resilience, and we draft the contract terms that make them workable: data portability, interoperability commitments, and consistent security and liability terms across vendors. That way an outage or a pricing change at one provider does not put your whole operation at its mercy.
