CIaaS Limited · Independent UK consultancy
CIaaS is an independent UK consultancy for Microsoft 365, Azure and identity, led by a CISSP with more than 30 years in the field. We advise, we implement – and when the right tool doesn’t exist, we build it. Five products so far.
What we build
Every CIaaS product began as a problem a real organisation actually had. We design, build and run them ourselves, on UK Azure infrastructure, to the same standards we recommend to clients.
Identity governance · Source-available
Self-service identity lifecycle for everyone HR never sees.
Joiner, mover and leaver workflows for volunteers, contractors and trustees – the populations HR systems never provision. Self-hosted in your own Azure tenant, with full audit trails, no per-seat fees and no vendor control plane.
accountfactory.orgFrontline workforce · Microsoft Teams
The whole operation, in their pocket.
StaffID turns the Microsoft Teams app your people already carry into a complete frontline hub – rosters, tasks, training, messaging and attendance – with no separate app to install and no in-house IT team required.
staffid.netSmart waste · Councils
Every bin, online. Every saving, measured.
Sensor-led waste monitoring and route optimisation for councils and operators, built on LoRaWAN.
binsense.co.ukMessaging governance · Charities & care
WhatsApp, on the record.
Bring the WhatsApp conversations your organisation already relies on under proper governance and audit.
chat.org.ukNetwork operations · NOC-as-a-service
Every alert, understood.
AI network management with a human NOC behind it – alert storms compressed into incidents that make sense.
secure.org.ukWhat we do
From board-level governance to hands-on engineering, delivered as fixed-scope engagements with written, runnable outputs – not traffic-light decks.
Security aligned to what the organisation is actually trying to do – governance, risk appetite and a roadmap the board can own.
Internal and third-party risk, assessed and prioritised – including the suppliers who quietly hold your data.
Defence-in-depth design for cloud, hybrid and on-premises estates – built to be operated, not admired.
Prepare, detect, contain, recover – with procedures your team has actually rehearsed before the bad day.
Pragmatic support for Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, UK GDPR, PCI DSS and NIST CSF 2.0 – evidence first, paperwork second.
Training that fits the audience, from trustees to frontline teams – not generic e-learning nobody finishes.
Continuous scanning with threat-led prioritisation, so the list gets shorter instead of longer.
Identity is the new perimeter. Zero Trust architecture, IAM, least privilege and MFA – the discipline behind Account Factory.
How we work
Short, fixed-price assessments of your Microsoft 365, Azure, identity or network estate. You get findings an engineer can act on the same week – with the evidence behind every one.
We implement what we recommend, or work alongside your team while they do – in your tenant, with your accounts, under your change control. Nothing leaves your environment.
Where something needs to keep running – network monitoring, identity lifecycle, frontline operations – our products take over, without lock-in: you can walk away with everything still working.
About CIaaS
CIaaS – Compliant Infrastructure as a Service – is an independent consultancy led by Terry Sullivan, a CISSP-certified security specialist with more than 30 years across IT and cyber security.
The practice works where security decisions actually land: Microsoft 365 tenants, Azure subscriptions, identity platforms and the networks underneath them. Engagements are deliberately small, senior and fixed in scope – you work with the person who does the work.
The products came later, each one built because a client needed something that did not exist: governed identity lifecycle for volunteers, a frontline hub inside Teams, auditable WhatsApp, bins that report their own fill levels, and a NOC that explains itself. They are all run from the UK, by us.
