01
Custom Software
Development
Web platforms, APIs and internal tools built with modern stacks — delivered by product-minded engineers, not staff-augmented strangers.
↗Software that holds under pressure.
Photon is a software and IT services team for businesses where downtime, breaches or a failed audit aren't options. We build, secure and operate systems that stand up to regulators, attackers and real traffic.

01 — Services
Build it.
Build it.
Secure it.
Prove it.
Five practices, one team. Whether you need a product built from scratch, an existing system hardened against attack, or an auditor off your back — the same senior engineers own it end-to-end.
Custom Software
02
Software for
Businesses
ERP, CRM and operations systems wired to how your business actually runs — integrated with the tools your people already use.
↗03
Security
Engineering
Threat modelling, hardening, penetration testing and secure-SDLC work. We write the code that keeps the rest of your code safe.
↗04
Technical
Compliance
ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and sector frameworks — turned into controls, evidence and working software, not just policy PDFs.
↗05
Risk
Management
Risk assessments, treatment plans and ongoing monitoring for the technology, vendor and operational risks that keep boards awake.
↗06
Cloud &
DevOps
AWS, Azure and GCP environments built as code — with hardened baselines, observability and disaster recovery on from day one.
↗07
Managed
IT Services
Patch, monitor, back up and respond — for the systems you already own. A dedicated pod instead of a ticket queue.
↗08
Integration
& Modernisation
Legacy systems rewired — APIs where there weren't any, refactors where the code has earned one, migrations that don't stall mid-flight.

02 — Approach
Engineered for the hard parts.
Software that earns its keep in production.
We ship working systems, not slideware. Every engagement starts with a scoped discovery and ends with code running in your environment — with observability, runbooks and the engineers who built it still on the line.
- Product-minded senior engineers, no offshore relay
- Typed, tested codebases with CI/CD from day one
- Architecture decisions written down and defendable
- Post-launch support baked into every engagement

MTTR
Security that isn't bolted on at the end.
Threat modelling, secure SDLC, identity and key management, detection and response — designed into the system, not papered over with a last-minute pentest. Audit-ready without the audit-ready theatre.
- ISO 27001 & SOC 2 — aligned, certifiable, sustainable
- GDPR and sector-specific data protection
- Penetration testing with fix-verification built in
- Incident response playbooks and tabletop exercises

NIST CSF
Risk, tracked like any other engineering metric.
Technology, vendor and operational risk — assessed, treated and monitored in a register your board can actually read. Controls mapped to the frameworks you have to meet, not a shelf of binders nobody opens.
- Risk register with owners, treatments and due dates
- Control mapping across ISO, SOC 2, NIST and GDPR
- Third-party and vendor risk assessments
- Business continuity and disaster recovery testing

03 — How we work
Senior team.
Senior team.
Owned outcomes.
No layers of middle management between you and the engineers. No offshore relay. The people who scope the work build it, secure it and still answer the phone in year two.
Senior-only teams
Every engagement is staffed with engineers who have shipped production systems in regulated industries. No juniors learning on your budget.
Fixed-scope delivery
Clear milestones, weekly demos, documented decisions. You see progress on Friday, not at the end of the quarter when the invoice arrives.
Stays on after launch
We operate what we build. Managed support, on-call rotation and a roadmap that keeps evolving — not a handover PDF and a goodbye email.
