Do you do pentests or red-team work?

No. We provide defensive-only advisory.

Can you implement solutions?

We provide design, controls and QA; implementation is performed by client teams or certified partners under our guidance.

How do you measure success?

With agreed KPIs such as MTTR, change failure rate, deployment frequency, unit cloud cost and critical vulnerability closure time.

Nemeris IT — Consulting

Overview

Cloud & Hybrid IT consulting at Nemeris IT — defensive-only, vendor-neutral — Nemeris IT — defensive-only & vendor-neutral Cloud & Hybrid IT advisory.

We design secure, observable, and cost-efficient cloud foundations on Azure & AWS, deliver Microsoft 365 migrations, automate with Infrastructure as Code, and run FinOps for measurable savings. Work is audit-ready (ISO 27001, CIS, NIST CSF) and strictly defensive-only and vendor-neutral.

Cloud landing zones: account/subscription hierarchy, IAM/RBAC, network segmentation, key management.
Microsoft 365: cutover/staged/hybrid migration, Entra ID hardening, Conditional Access, DLP.
IaC & automation: Terraform-first, CI/CD with policy & drift detection.
FinOps: tagging & budgets, right-sizing, RI/SP coverage, unit cost reporting.

Policy: Advisory-only; no offensive testing. Implementation is executed by client teams or certified partners under our guidance. GDPR-first operation.
