A regulated SaaS business operating in the defence sector was running on an ageing VMware estate with no coherent cloud strategy and no FinOps discipline. Cloud costs were drifting without visibility or control.
The security controls in place could not satisfy the defence assurance requirements of its key clients - threatening contract retention on business-critical relationships.
Engaged as Fractional CTO to lead the full VMware-to-Azure migration, establish Azure FinOps governance to bring cloud spend under control, and embed Secure-by-Design controls aligned to defence assurance frameworks.
The engagement operated at one to two days per week, with a time-boxed mandate and clear outcomes agreed upfront. Governance was built into the organisation so it would not be dependent on the consultant remaining engaged.
