Cloud Insurance

01

The Problem

Cloud infrastructure fails. Not if — when. The difference between a 5-minute incident and a 5-day outage is preparation. Most startups deploy fast and worry about resilience later, leaving blast radii wide open, recovery procedures undocumented, and incident response ad-hoc. When a real incident hits, the cost isn't just downtime — it's lost customer trust, regulatory exposure, and engineering time that should have been spent building product.

02

Who This Is For

• SaaS companies running production workloads on AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Engineering teams that have outgrown their initial cloud architecture
• Organizations that need to demonstrate disaster recovery capability to clients or insurers
• CTOs who know their infrastructure has single points of failure but haven't had time to fix them

03

Risks of Ignoring

• $4.45M average cost of a cloud data breach (IBM, 2023)
• Extended downtime from untested disaster recovery procedures
• Compliance violations from inadequate logging and monitoring
• Customer churn from SLA breaches during preventable outages
• Inability to obtain or renew cyber liability insurance coverage

04

Our Approach

We start with a comprehensive architecture review — mapping your entire cloud footprint, identifying single points of failure, blast radius exposure, and recovery gaps. Then we engineer solutions: multi-AZ failover, automated backup verification, network segmentation, and incident response playbooks tailored to your specific infrastructure. Every change is tested with controlled chaos engineering exercises to validate it works under pressure.

Engagement Model

Engagements typically span 6-12 weeks. We begin with a 1-week architecture deep-dive, followed by a prioritized remediation plan. Implementation happens in 2-week sprints, with each sprint concluding in a validated chaos engineering test. We offer ongoing quarterly reviews to adapt your resilience posture as your infrastructure evolves. Pricing is milestone-based with a clear scope document.
