Secure software development for defence & compliance-heavy industries

Build robust, secure software with expertise from defence sector and GDPR SaaS scaling. Full-stack development, AI integration, DevSecOps, and interim CTO services. Stockholm-based.

Our capabilities

End-to-end software development tailored for mission-critical applications.

01 / 06

Modern distributed web applications built from scratch, designed for scalability and maintained by growing development teams. We use the right tool for each job—recent projects include TypeScript/Node.js microservices, React frontends, and PostgreSQL/Redis data layers, but we're comfortable across the full technology spectrum. We've built platforms serving millions of users across multiple countries (enterprise video streaming) and GDPR-compliant SaaS platforms for legal/HR tech industries. Whether you need a new application or want to scale an existing platform, we bring proven patterns for high-availability, security, and maintainability.

02 / 06

Integrate large language models and AI capabilities into your products—from RAG pipelines to custom AI agents. We bring practical experience deploying AI in production environments, with security and compliance considerations built in from day one. Our background combines AI implementation skills with adversarial security awareness. Whether you're adding conversational interfaces, automating document analysis, or building intelligent threat detection systems, we help you navigate the technical and security challenges of production AI deployments.

03 / 06

Transform monolithic systems into microservices architectures, enabling independent deployment and improved maintainability. Experience migrating legacy video streaming platforms to AWS, rebuilding critical applications with modern frameworks while maintaining service continuity. We understand the challenges of gradual migration: strangler pattern implementations, API gateway transitions, database decomposition, and team restructuring. Our approach balances modernisation speed with business continuity, ensuring you can continue serving customers while improving your technology foundation.

04 / 06

Extensive experience integrating third-party platforms, APIs, and AI services into cohesive, secure technology ecosystems. Built integrations for payment providers, identity systems, analytics platforms, and AI services across multiple industries. We handle API design, data synchronisation, error handling, rate limiting, and security (OAuth, API keys, mutual TLS). Whether integrating SaaS tools into existing workflows or building platform-to-platform connections, we ensure reliable, secure, and maintainable integrations that scale with your business.

05 / 06

Implement CI/CD pipelines with automated security testing, infrastructure-as-code validation, and continuous compliance monitoring. Experience building secure delivery pipelines for GDPR-compliant SaaS, enterprise video streaming at scale, and classified defence systems. Our toolchain includes GitHub Actions/GitLab CI, security scanning (SAST/DAST), IaC testing, secret management integration, and automated rollback capabilities. Enable your teams to deploy confidently and frequently—without compromising security. Typical engagements include pipeline security audits, automated compliance checks, and DevSecOps culture transformation.

06 / 06

Interim CTO and technical leadership services for scaling organisations. As CTO of a GDPR SaaS company, we scaled development teams from 1 to 20+ developers, established security-first culture, and led the company through successful acquisition. Also led technical teams in defence sector environments requiring high security standards. Available for fractional CTO roles, technical advisory board positions, or interim leadership during transitions. We help you define technical strategy, build high-performing teams, establish engineering practices, and communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders (board, investors, customers).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries do you serve?

We specialize in defence agencies, defence contractors, and compliance-heavy industries including legal tech, HR tech, and other regulated sectors requiring GDPR, NIST 800-53 rev 5, or CCMv4 compliance.

What's your typical engagement model?

We offer flexible engagement models: project-based delivery (3-6 months), interim CTO/tech Leadership roles, hourly consulting/advisory, or Retainer-based services. We adapt to your needs—from hands-on implementation to strategic guidance.

What technologies do you work with?

We use the right tool for the job. Recent projects include TypeScript/Node.js, Python, React, Kubernetes, Pulumi/Terraform, and AWS—but we're technology-agnostic and adapt to your existing stack or choose the best fit for your requirements. We focus on secure, scalable architectures regardless of the technology.

Can you provide interim CTO services?

Yes. As former CTO of a SaaS startup and Technical Manager in the defence industry, we provide fractional/interim CTO services including technical strategy, team building, and stakeholder communication.

How do you ensure security in software development?

Security is integrated at every stage: threat modeling, secure architecture design, automated security testing (SAST/DAST), code review, Infrastructure as Code validation, and compliance monitoring. Experience implementing NIST 800-53 rev 5, CCMv4, and GDPR requirements.
