IT & Security for Technology Companies

Security-first IT operations that let your technical team focus on product while demonstrating security credibility to partners and clients.

Your partners ask for SOC 2 evidence. Your enterprise clients send security questionnaires. And internally, your developers are also your IT team.

Technology companies understand security in theory – your product might even be a security product. But proving your internal posture to partners and clients is a different matter. You need security that works with developer workflows and delivers the evidence that enterprise relationships demand.

Sound familiar?

These are the challenges we hear from technology companies every week.

Your developers are also your de facto IT team, pulling focus from product

Partners and enterprise clients ask for security posture evidence you cannot provide

Internal IT security is an afterthought compared to product security

Scaling from 10 to 50+ people means ad-hoc IT processes break down

You need to demonstrate SOC 2, ISO 27001, or client-specific security compliance

How we help

Our COSAINT model gives technology companies enterprise-grade security without the enterprise overhead. We tune security tooling for developer workflows – custom exclusions for build directories, toolchains, and package managers – so your engineers get protection without false positives slowing them down.

Technology clients typically start with COSAINT Managed, which covers full security baseline, helpdesk support, and device management across macOS and Windows. Companies pursuing ISO 27001 or SOC 2 add the compliance support module. If you have cloud infrastructure that needs monitoring, we extend Defender for Cloud and EASM into your AWS or Azure workloads.

Technology IT FAQ

Will your endpoint protection interfere with our development tools?

No. We configure Defender for Endpoint with custom exclusion lists for common development tools: IDEs, compilers, package managers (npm, pip, cargo), Docker, and virtualisation software. We also exclude build output directories and local development databases from real-time scanning. Full endpoint protection without the performance impact or false positives.

Can developers keep local admin access on their machines?

We recommend a managed approach: developers get local admin through a just-in-time elevation process rather than permanent admin rights. This provides the flexibility to install tools and run development processes while maintaining an audit trail. For companies where permanent local admin is non-negotiable, we implement compensating controls: enhanced monitoring, device compliance requirements, and automated threat response.

How do you handle macOS and Linux devices alongside Windows?

We support mixed-platform environments. Intune provides device management for macOS, and Defender for Endpoint has macOS and Linux agents. Conditional access policies apply across all platforms. A macOS device must meet the same compliance requirements as a Windows device to access corporate resources.

What is the difference between your security management and our product security team?

We manage corporate IT security: endpoint protection, identity management, email security, device compliance, and corporate network access. Your product security team manages application security, code review, penetration testing, and production infrastructure. These are complementary, not overlapping.

What COSAINT tier is right for our technology company?

Most technology companies start with COSAINT Managed. This provides the full security baseline, helpdesk support, device management across macOS and Windows, and Microsoft 365 administration. Companies pursuing ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification should consider COSAINT Strategic, which adds vCISO advisory, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM, and compliance documentation support.
