Our Mission

To empower organizations to achieve and maintain compliance through expert infrastructure design, security implementation, and hands-on partnership with engineering teams.

Who We Are

ControlsOps is a specialized consulting firm focused on cloud infrastructure and compliance. We partner with engineering teams to design, implement, and harden infrastructure that meets the most demanding regulatory and security standards — and we get you audit-ready for independent certification.

Unlike traditional compliance consultants who focus solely on policies and documentation, we take a hands-on, technical approach. We believe that true compliance starts with properly architected and secured infrastructure—not paperwork retrofitted to existing systems.

What Sets Us Apart

🔧

Technical First

We're engineers who understand compliance, not compliance consultants who dabble in technology. We implement solutions, not just recommendations.

☁️

Platform Agnostic

AWS, Azure, GCP, or private cloud—we work with your existing technology stack and adapt our implementations to your chosen platforms.

🤝

True Partnership

We work alongside your team, transferring knowledge and building internal capabilities, not creating dependency on external consultants.

🎯

Outcome Focused

Our success is measured by your certification success. We're invested in results, not billable hours.

Our Team

Compliance-certified engineers and assessors with hands-on infrastructure delivery experience.

Leadership

Architecture & Strategy
CISSP AZ-500 AZ-305 CKS

10+ years in cloud security and regulated infrastructure. Background in platform architecture and engineering management at a PCI Level 1 processor. Delivers compliant architectures across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

Assessment & Audit Practice

QSA-Qualified Assessors
PCI QSA CISA ISO 27001 LA

Our team includes QSA-qualified and certified professionals who run readiness reviews, gap assessments, and evidence preparation. To preserve assessor independence, the formal PCI-DSS validation, SOC 2 attestation, or ISO 27001 certification is always performed by a separate, independent QSA, CPA firm, or certification body — we get you audit-ready and coordinate the engagement.

Cloud Engineering Practice

Infrastructure & DevSecOps
AWS Security Specialty AZ-500 Terraform Associate

Our Approach

  1. Understand Your Environment: We start by understanding your existing infrastructure, tools, and constraints—not forcing you into a predetermined solution.
  2. Design for Compliance: We architect solutions with compliance requirements built in from the start, avoiding costly retrofitting.
  3. Implement Together: We work alongside your team to implement solutions, ensuring knowledge transfer and capability building.
  4. Support Through Certification: We stay engaged through the audit process, providing technical support and evidence collection.
  5. Enable Long-term Success: We leave you with documented, maintainable systems and the knowledge to operate them independently.
