How it Works
Engagement in five phases.
From first upload to continuous assurance, every engagement follows a documented sequence. Standards are agreed up front. Evidence is captured throughout. Nothing is unstructured.
Engagement & Standards
Service Definition agreed. Packaging standards, QA check-sheets, naming conventions, and documentation formats confirmed in writing. A dedicated cloud instance, secure storage, and REST API access are provisioned for the client.
Portfolio Intake & Health Check
Application binaries and discovery data uploaded to the client's Readiness storage. Automated algorithmic analysis, smoke-testing, malware scanning, and CVE/KEV mapping produce a branded portfolio health check - a complete baseline of posture and risk.
Pilot Delivery
A pilot of 15 packages is delivered to agreed standards with full QC evidence. Client sign-off confirms the pipeline, acceptance criteria, and documentation meet expectations before production begins.
Production Packaging
Applications flow through Discovery → Repackaging → Testing → Automated QA → Publishing. New applications, upgrades, updates, and configuration changes are managed through the Readiness service desk. Every package carries a full audit trail.
Continuous Assurance
The portfolio enters steady-state Evergreen management. Microsoft Patch Tuesday is pre-assessed against the full estate. Third-party vendor releases are monitored continuously. New CVEs are mapped to installed versions within hours of disclosure. Application Portfolio Intelligence dashboards keep the client in posture.
After phase five
The estate is under management. Continuously.
Continuous Assurance is not a contract length - it is a steady state. Patches, platform changes, vendor releases, and CVE disclosures all enter the same pipeline the day they are announced. The portfolio stays evergreen for as long as it is under management.
