Your own standards

The document is good.The enforcement is missing.

Your standard read as written, checked against every resource in scope, with the changes that bring the estate into line.

The problem

Most organisations have a well-designed internal standard that nobody meets.

The document is good. The enforcement is missing. Every attempt to fix it by hand runs out of time.

The IT Operations Engine reads your standard as written, checks every resource against it, and raises the changes that bring the estate into line.

What enforcement actually takes

  • Reading the standard you already have, in whatever format it is in today
  • Checking every resource in scope against it, not a sample
  • Raising the changes rather than reporting the gap and stopping
  • Leaving placeholders where a value cannot be inferred, so your team fills in what only they know
  • Preventing the standard from being broken, where correcting it afterwards is not good enough
What we do

Read it the way an engineer would, then close the gap.

Your standard is ingested as a skill and applied across the estate. Where the standard should be prevented from being broken rather than corrected afterwards, we write the organisation-level control with you, as a pull request.

Find, fix, keep green

    • Find - Your standard is ingested as a skill: a tagging policy from your wiki, a naming convention, a baseline configuration document. The engine reads it the way an engineer would, then checks every resource in scope against it and reports how far the estate is from meeting it.
    • Fix - The engine generates the changes that bring resources into line, raised as pull requests with placeholders where a value cannot be inferred from the estate, so your team fills in what only they know.
    • Keep green - The check runs on a cadence, and where the standard should be prevented from being broken rather than corrected afterwards, we write the organisation-level control with you: a tag policy or a service control policy, raised as a pull request.

Have a standard nobody meets?

Your standard document and read-only access to one account. The first check is usually available within a day.

How it starts

Your document, one account, a day.

The first compliance check against your own standard is usually available within a day.

  • Hand over the standard

    Whatever format it is in today. A wiki page, a policy document, a spreadsheet. The engine reads it as a skill rather than asking you to re-express it as rules.

    • No rewriting into a rules DSL
    • Read the way an engineer would read it
    • Your standard stays the source

  • Checked against one account

    Every resource in scope is checked against the standard, and the report says how far the estate is from meeting it.

    • Every resource, not a sample
    • First check usually within a day
    • Read-only to begin

  • The gap closed, then held

    Changes arrive as pull requests with placeholders where a value cannot be inferred. Where prevention is the right answer, we write the organisation-level control with you.

    • Placeholders for what only your team knows
    • Tag policy or service control policy, as a pull request
    • The check runs on a cadence afterwards
What stays with you

The standard itself, and the enforcement control once written.

Both remain yours.

You gain:

  • The standard can be in whatever format it is in today. A wiki page, a policy document, a spreadsheet.
  • Where a value cannot be inferred from the estate, the pull request carries a placeholder rather than a guess.
  • Prevention is an organisation-level control. We write it with you; it stays yours.
