Fixed-Price Cloud & Compliance Engineering

SOC2-ready cloud infrastructure. Built in weeks, not quarters.

We design, build, and codify the AWS, GCP, or Azure foundation you need to pass enterprise security review — segmented networks, zero-trust access, audit-ready CI/CD — at a fixed price, delivered by senior engineers who've run it at scale.

Flagship

SOC2-Ready Cloud Foundation

4–6 weeks Fixed · from $25k

A production AWS, GCP, or Azure foundation built to pass enterprise security review — and 100% codified in Terraform, so it's yours, not ours.

Landing zone with segmented networks, private subnets & DMZ clusters
Zero-trust access — Cloudflare, Tailscale, or WireGuard
Kubernetes + ArgoCD GitOps CI/CD pipelines
Ephemeral preview environments — an isolated full-stack copy per branch, so features are tested the moment they're pushed
Logging, monitoring & alerting wired for audit evidence
Agent-ready handover — IaC, runbooks & docs structured so your team and their AI tools can run and extend it, not just inherit it

Scope your build

Developer experience & delivery tooling improvements
Compliance evidence kept audit-ready year-round

Talk retainers

For infrastructure clients

Then we automate what runs on it: AI & internal tooling

Once your foundation is solid, we can build the layer above it — because agentic systems only perform on resilient, well-structured infrastructure. That's where we deliver agentic workflows, LLM integrations, internal tools, and full products — including a private agentic development platform: AI agents that turn tickets into reviewed pull requests, running inside your own VPC as your team's own internal tool.

Who It's For

If one of these is you, we should talk this week.

You just raised

Enterprise buyers will ask for SOC2. Be ready before procurement does.

The first serious enterprise deal always hits a security questionnaire. We build the infrastructure that passes it — so compliance never becomes the reason a deal slips a quarter.

A deal is stuck in security review

Questionnaire findings are blocking revenue right now.

Pen-test findings, missing controls, "we'll circle back after remediation." We triage in a week and fix what's blocking the signature — fast, documented, and mapped to the controls they asked about.

Cloud costs & fragility are growing

No platform engineer, a rising bill, and infra nobody wants to touch.

We codify the snowflakes into Terraform, cut the waste, and leave you with infrastructure a small team — augmented by AI — can actually run.

Shipping feels slow

Devs queue for a shared staging environment, and releases are an event.

We build dynamic preview environments — an isolated, production-like stack for every branch — and the CI/CD to ship small and often. Features get tested the moment they're pushed, not weeks later.

Why CyberNucleus

Why teams pick us over the big firms.

Big consultancies sell you a partner, staff you with juniors, and bill by the hour. We do the opposite on all three counts.

Senior Engineers, Direct

You work directly with the engineers doing the work — people who've run production systems at 100K+ requests per second for exchanges, oracle networks, and brokerages. No account managers, no handoffs, no juniors learning on your dime.

AI-Accelerated Delivery

Frontier AI is embedded in every engagement — architecture, implementation, infrastructure automation — with senior oversight at every step. It's how we deliver in weeks what others quote in quarters, and why our fixed prices hold.

Fixed Price, Codified Handover

The price is agreed before we start. Everything we build is Terraform-codified and documented for both humans and AI agents — so your team, armed with the tools we train them on, can run and extend it without us. You're never locked in, which is exactly why clients stay.

Built by us

Synlets — Our Own AI Engineering Platform

An autonomous agentic coding platform we built end-to-end: assign a Jira or Asana ticket to AI, get a reviewed pull request back. Event-driven agents handle the full cycle — implementation, code review, reporting.

This is the proof behind "AI-accelerated": we don't just use AI tooling, we build it. Infrastructure clients can run it privately inside their own VPC, as their team's own internal platform.

Client Project

CloudTech Custody — Institutional Digital Asset Security

An institutional-grade digital asset custody platform using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) security. Segregated, insurance-backed vaults for crypto exchanges, asset managers, family offices, and SMSFs across 50+ blockchains.

We designed the cloud infrastructure and security architecture for a business whose entire product is not getting breached — the same standard we bring to every compliance build.

Client Project

Ankr — Web3 Infrastructure Platform Engineering

Ankr is one of the leading Web3 infrastructure providers, powering decentralised applications and blockchain nodes at scale globally.

Our work included platform engineering services and infrastructure management across the APAC region — high-availability blockchain infrastructure where downtime is measured in lost money, not apologies.

How It Works

From first call to audit-ready,
without the consulting theatre.

No discovery workshops that bill for a month. No 40-page proposals. A short call, a fixed quote, and work that starts the same week.

15-minute discovery call

You tell us what's blocking you. We tell you honestly whether we're the right fit — and what it'll roughly cost.

One-week audit, fixed quote

We assess your infrastructure and hand you a prioritised roadmap with a fixed price for the build. The roadmap is yours either way.

Build, with weekly demos

Everything codified in Terraform from day one. You see progress weekly — running infrastructure, not status decks.

Handover — or keep us on

Docs, onboarding, and a clean handover your team can run. Many clients keep us on a light retainer; none of them have to.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does your fixed pricing work?

Audits start from $5k, cloud foundations from $25k, and retainers from $6k/month (AUD, ex GST — we work with clients worldwide). After the discovery call we give you one number and a delivery window, and that's what you pay. No hourly billing, no change-order games. If we misjudge the scope, that's our problem, not yours.

Do we actually need SOC2?

If you sell to enterprises — or want to — yes, and usually sooner than you think. The first serious buyer will send a security questionnaire, and "we're working on it" stalls deals. We build the infrastructure side so the audit becomes a formality, and we work alongside your auditor and compliance platform (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) rather than replacing them.

We already have an engineering team. Do you replace them?

No — we multiply them. Your engineers keep building product while we build the platform under it. Everything is codified and documented, we onboard your team to run it, and we train them on the AI tooling we use so they're faster after we leave.

Can you build software and AI tools too, or just infrastructure?

Yes — we're a full engineering team, and we build our own AI platform products end-to-end. We deliberately lead with infrastructure because automation built on shaky foundations doesn't last. Once your platform is solid, we can build the layer above it and discuss what fits your business — for example agentic workflows, LLM integrations, internal tools, and full products.

How do you handle IP, security, and confidentiality?

Everything we build is yours. We sign NDAs, work within your repositories and cloud accounts, and follow strict access controls. We build SOC2-ready systems for a living — we hold ourselves to the same standard. Your code, your data, your IP.

What happens after the project is done?

We onboard your team, document everything, and make sure they can run it independently — the handover is part of the fixed price. If you want ongoing support, the Fractional Platform Engineering retainer keeps a senior engineer on your infrastructure month to month. Optional, never required.
