ITSecOps.cloud is a cybersecurity and cloud operations advisory firm dedicated to helping New Zealand small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) secure, manage, and scale their IT environments with confidence. We focus on delivering practical, business-aligned security and cloud governance—without unnecessary complexity, vendor lock-in, or enterprise overhead.

Modern SMBs increasingly rely on cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, Azure, and SaaS applications, yet many lack the internal expertise or time required to properly secure these environments. ITSecOps.cloud bridges this gap by acting as a trusted security and cloud advisor, helping organisations understand their risks, strengthen their defenses, and implement resilient, cost-effective controls aligned with real business needs.

Our services span cybersecurity posture assessments, identity and access security (MFA, Zero Trust), cloud security architecture, backup and disaster recovery strategy, compliance readiness, and operational risk reduction. We specialise in simplifying complex security concepts into clear, actionable steps that business owners and leadership teams can easily understand and implement.

ITSecOps.cloud works closely with business owners, directors, IT managers, and managed service providers (MSPs) to ensure technology decisions support business continuity, regulatory obligations, and long-term growth. Rather than selling products, we provide independent, vendor-agnostic advice, enabling our clients to make informed decisions based on risk, cost, and operational impact.

We place strong emphasis on identity security, recognising it as the most common entry point for cyber threats facing SMBs today. By strengthening authentication, reducing excessive privileges, securing email and collaboration platforms, and validating backup integrity, we help businesses significantly reduce their exposure to ransomware, phishing, and data loss incidents.

Our approach is deliberately practical and measurable. Every engagement focuses on:

Understanding the client’s business and data sensitivity

Identifying real-world risks (not theoretical ones)

Prioritising controls based on impact and budget

Creating clear remediation roadmaps

Improving visibility, accountability, and resilience

ITSecOps.cloud also supports organisations preparing for security audits, compliance frameworks, and client security requirements, ensuring they are operationally ready rather than scrambling at the last minute. We help businesses document controls, align policies with actual systems, and build repeatable security processes that scale as the organisation grows.

Founded by Gaurav Sengar, an experienced cybersecurity and cloud operations professional, ITSecOps.cloud brings over 8 years of hands-on experience across infrastructure, cloud platforms, identity systems, and security operations. Gaurav has worked with global enterprises, MSPs, and regulated industries, translating that experience into right-sized security solutions for SMBs.

Based on a philosophy of clarity, accountability, and trust, ITSecOps.cloud is committed to empowering New Zealand businesses with security strategies that are realistic, affordable, and effective. Our goal is not to overwhelm businesses with technical jargon, but to help them build secure, reliable systems that support everyday operations and future growth.
