Cloud, DevOps & security on retainer - startup-priced

MatrixGard is a fractional DevSecOps practice for pre-seed and seed-stage startups across India, Singapore, UAE, UK, and US. We become your cloud, infrastructure, and security team on a monthly retainer covering full audits, hardening, cost optimization, and incident readiness, without the cost of a senior hire.

Our focus is the pre-seed founder problem: you need cloud architecture, CI/CD automation, and security expertise (three separate disciplines), but you can only afford one senior hire who cannot credibly be all three. We solve it with one team, one Slack channel, one invoice, and senior capacity from day one.

Service areas: AWS, GCP, and Azure security baselines; CI/CD pipeline security with Trivy, Snyk, and OWASP ZAP; FinOps and cloud cost optimization; SOC 2, ISO 27001, RBI Master Direction, DPDP Act, and PCI-DSS compliance preparation; Kubernetes hardening; incident response readiness for fintech 6-hour reporting requirements.

Engagement starts with a free 20-minute infrastructure review. Tiered monthly retainers from Rs 40,000 per month. No long-term lock-in.

Client: saysri.ai - an AI-powered recruitment platform running on Microsoft Azure.

The Challenge: saysri.ai approached MatrixGard wanting to cut their Azure bill, but the audit surfaced significantly bigger problems underneath. The platform was running with TLS 1.0 enabled, publicly accessible Azure blob storage, no Web Application Firewall, and orphaned cloud resources quietly draining the budget every month.

Our Approach: Full infrastructure audit covering both security vulnerabilities and cost waste in parallel, in a single 7-working-day sprint:

  • Deployed Cloudflare WAF + DDoS protection in front of the application
  • Enforced HTTPS sitewide and upgraded TLS to 1.2 and above
  • Locked down all public-facing Azure blob storage to private access
  • Catalogued and removed every orphaned cloud resource: unused disks, idle compute, dangling network interfaces, abandoned snapshots
  • Documented every change in a handover package the saysri.ai team can audit and extend

Outcome:

  • 8 critical security vulnerabilities identified and remediated
  • 70 percent of orphaned cloud resources eliminated, recapturing budget that was being burnt silently
  • Production-grade security posture achieved
  • Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection deployed and tuned
  • Full change documentation delivered for the saysri.ai engineering team
  • 7 working days end-to-end, fixed scope, fixed price

Engagement Type: Single-sprint cloud security and cost audit. No long-term lock-in.

Client Testimonial:

"MatrixGard have recommended robust security practices which made our app resilient and helped us to cut unnecessary cloud infrastructure costs which we reinvested on our product development." - Sayeenath, saysri.ai

Why This Matters: Most early-stage SaaS teams discover security debt the same way saysri.ai did - they go looking for cost savings and find a stack that needs hardening at the same time. MatrixGard runs both audits together, so founders solve two problems with one engagement instead of paying for two separate consulting bills.
