CLOUD INFRA THAT PERFORMS.
CloudXero designs, secures, and optimises Google Cloud infrastructure for organisations that can't afford to get it wrong. From landing zones to live workloads — we build it right the first time.
OUR
SERVICES
Most GCP environments are built fast, not right.
Teams spin up projects without a defined folder hierarchy, IAM is handed out broadly to move quickly, and networking is an afterthought. Six months later you're dealing with cost sprawl, security gaps, and infrastructure that can't scale without a rebuild.
We design your GCP environment the way it should have been built from day one — IaC-first, secure by default, with a folder structure and network topology that holds up as your workloads grow. Every decision is documented so your team understands what was built and why.
Folder hierarchy, org policies, logging sinks, and billing structure — built to Google's SLZ framework and customised to your requirements.
All resources defined in Terraform, stored in version control, with CI/CD pipelines for deployment. You own the code.
Shared VPC design, subnet strategy, firewall rules, Cloud NAT, DNS, and hybrid connectivity (Interconnect / VPN) where required.
Cluster design, node pool strategy, workload identity, and autoscaling configuration for container-based workloads.
Full architecture diagrams, decision records, and runbooks handed over at project close. Your team can operate and extend what we build.
Security added after the fact never works as well as security built in.
Most GCP environments have IAM that grew organically, network controls that were never reviewed, and no clear picture of their security posture. By the time a compliance requirement or incident forces the issue, the remediation is expensive and disruptive.
We review your current GCP security posture against Google's best practices and your compliance requirements, identify the gaps, and fix them — starting with the highest-risk issues. For new environments, we design security in from the start so you're not retrofitting controls later.
A full review of your GCP environment against CIS benchmarks and Google's security foundations — with a prioritised remediation plan.
Least-privilege IAM design, service account hygiene, Workload Identity Federation, and org-level policy enforcement.
Data exfiltration prevention using VPC-SC perimeters around sensitive workloads and APIs.
SCC Premium configuration, finding remediation, and integration with your alerting and ticketing workflow.
Evidence packs, control mapping, and configuration hardening for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 on GCP.
Legacy SIEMs aren't built for cloud-scale log volumes.
Splunk and QRadar were designed for a different era. Cloud environments generate log volumes they struggle to handle cost-effectively, detection rules don't translate to cloud attack patterns, and alert fatigue is a constant battle. Your security team ends up fighting the tooling instead of the threats.
Google SecOps (Chronicle SIEM) handles petabyte-scale log ingestion with flat pricing — no per-GB surprise bills. We migrate your log sources, rebuild your detection logic in YARA-L, and tune your ruleset so your team spends time on real alerts, not noise.
End-to-end Chronicle setup — log ingestion, UDM parser configuration, data source onboarding, and user access provisioning.
Migration from Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel or other SIEMs — including log source cutover, detection rule rebuild, and parallel-run validation.
Custom detection rules built for your environment — covering identity threats, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and GCP-specific attack patterns.
Automated response playbooks that reduce mean time to respond — triage, enrichment, and containment without manual intervention.
Mandiant threat intelligence feeds integrated into Chronicle for context-aware detections and IOC matching at scale.
GCP bills grow fast when nobody owns the numbers.
Cloud costs are easy to ignore until they're not. Unpartitioned BigQuery tables scanning terabytes on every query, GKE nodes running at 10% utilisation, no committed use discounts in place — these are common and expensive. Most teams only look at the bill, not the root cause.
We dig into your billing export, identify the top cost drivers across your GCP workloads, and build the governance framework to prevent them recurring. We focus on the changes that actually move the number — not a generic checklist.
Partitioning, clustering, slot analysis, and query optimisation. We find the queries and tables burning the most spend and fix them.
Node pool analysis, workload resource request tuning, autoscaling configuration, and Spot VM strategy to cut idle compute spend.
Analysis of your workload baseline to identify where 1-year or 3-year CUDs make sense — and where flexibility matters more than savings.
Budget alerts, spend dashboards in Looker Studio, label taxonomy, and chargeback reporting so cost ownership sits with the right teams.
A prioritised list of findings with estimated savings per item, implementation effort, and ownership — so your team knows exactly what to tackle next.
ENGINEERS
NOT VENDORS
GCP ONLY
We don't spread thin across three clouds. Every engagement is Google Cloud. That depth matters when the architecture gets hard.
PARTNER ACCESS
As a Google Cloud Partner, we get direct lines to Google engineering, product roadmaps, and escalation paths most teams don't have.
WE BUILD THINGS
Every engagement produces working infrastructure, real documentation, and outcomes you can measure. No slide decks, no fluff.
FROM BRIEF
TO BUILD
We map your current state, understand your constraints, and define scope. No assumptions, no generic templates.
We design the solution with full documentation — diagrams, decisions, tradeoffs. You know exactly what we're building and why.
IaC-first delivery. Every resource tracked, tested, and reviewed. We work in your environment, not around it.
Full knowledge transfer to your team. Runbooks, architecture docs, and access handed over cleanly. You own what we build.
