High Tech

Product engineering, platform reliability and security evidence for software companies that ship.

Overview

Technology in High Tech

Software companies live on release speed and uptime, and enterprise buyers now ask for proof of both. A SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 scope can decide whether a deal closes.

Desmata adds engineering capacity where you need it: product squads, platform and reliability teams and security engineers. That can be one senior engineer or a managed team with a delivery lead.

We work in your repositories, tools and process, and we write down what we build so your team can own it.

Challenges

What technology leaders here are dealing with

  1. Challenge 1: Roadmaps outrun hiring

    Hiring a senior engineer can take months, while the roadmap does not wait. Teams need capacity that is already vetted and can start inside a sprint or two.

  2. Challenge 2: Customers expect reliability they can measure

    Buyers ask for uptime history, SLOs and incident practices. Teams need observability, on-call discipline and error budgets that tie release speed to stability.

  3. Challenge 3: Security evidence is a sales requirement

    Procurement sends long security questionnaires and asks for SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001. Gathering evidence by hand pulls engineers off product work.

  4. Challenge 4: Software supply chain risk

    Dependencies, build pipelines and container images are now attack paths. Customers increasingly ask for SBOMs and signed releases.

  5. Challenge 5: Cloud and AI costs growing faster than revenue

    Idle infrastructure and inference spend erode margin. Teams need tagging, rightsizing and unit-cost reporting that engineers actually use.

How we help

Where Desmata fits in

Use cases

What we deliver in this sector

  • New product modules and integrations

    Scoped feature work, public APIs and partner integrations delivered on your release schedule.

  • Platform reliability program

    SLO definitions, tracing and alerting, runbooks and incident review practice that lower mean time to recover.

  • DevSecOps pipeline build-out

    Static and dependency scanning, signed artifacts, SBOM generation and policy checks in CI, with findings routed by exploitability.

  • Compliance evidence automation

    Access reviews, change records and asset inventories collected from the tools you already use, ready for customer and auditor requests.

  • Cloud migration and FinOps

    Moving workloads to a better-fitting cloud setup and giving each team a view of what its services cost to run.

  • AI and machine learning features

    Search, summarization and recommendations added to products, with evaluation sets and cost limits from the start.

Regulations and standards

Standards we design for

The rules that shape technology work in this sector, and that we build and staff around.

  • SOC 2

    The AICPA trust services framework that enterprise buyers ask SaaS vendors to prove. We build controls and evidence collection that fit it, and we staff engineers who have supported SOC 2 audits.

  • ISO/IEC 27001

    The international standard for an information security management system, often required in global enterprise deals. We design engineering practices that align with it.

  • NIST Secure Software Development Framework

    NIST SP 800-218 describes secure development practices that many federal and enterprise buyers now reference. We work within it when building pipelines and release processes.

  • OWASP guidance

    The OWASP Top 10 and Application Security Verification Standard give teams a shared checklist for application risk. We apply them in design reviews and testing.

  • GDPR and CCPA

    Customer data obligations follow your software into every market. We build data mapping, retention and deletion into product architecture.

  • FedRAMP

    Companies selling cloud services to federal agencies work within FedRAMP. We staff engineers with experience in those environments for teams pursuing that path.

These are the regulations and standards that shape work in this sector. We design and staff for them. They are not certifications held by Desmata.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you embed engineers in our existing team?

Yes. Contractors join your standups, repositories and review process, and report to your managers. If you prefer, a managed team works under a Desmata delivery lead against agreed goals.

Can you help us pass a SOC 2 audit?

Auditors and compliance advisors issue the report, not us. We build the engineering controls and evidence collection that make the audit smoother, and we can staff security and platform engineers with audit experience.

Do you only supply senior engineers?

No. We recruit across levels, from mid-level developers to staff engineers and architects. Tell us the problem and the team shape and we will recommend a mix.

Can we start with a small pilot?

Yes. A scoped pilot, such as one pipeline, one service or two contractors for a quarter, shows how we work before you commit to more.
