October 2026 — CloudMates has achieved the AWS Security Competency, recognising its technical expertise and demonstrated customer success in delivering security solutions on AWS. The achievement expands its AWS specialisations across Generative AI, Data & Analytics, Media & Entertainment, and now Security—helping organisations accelerate innovation with confidence.
Together, these capabilities reinforce CloudMates' ability to support the full spectrum of cloud transformation: modernising infrastructure, unlocking the value of data, adopting artificial intelligence and strengthening security, governance and compliance.
Security at the Foundation of Innovation
As organisations accelerate their adoption of cloud technologies, generative AI and increasingly complex digital platforms, the need for robust security and governance has never been greater.
Security is no longer simply about protecting infrastructure. It enables organisations to innovate confidently while maintaining visibility, control and compliance across their technology environments.
The AWS Security Competency recognises AWS Partners with demonstrated expertise in helping customers secure their cloud environments through specialised security capabilities and proven implementations.
For CloudMates, this recognition strengthens its commitment to secure-by-design architectures, proactive security operations and compliance-focused cloud solutions that align with customers' evolving business and regulatory requirements.
An Enterprise Security Ecosystem Beyond the Cloud
Enterprise security extends beyond a single cloud platform or product. Organisations need to connect protection, governance and operations across cloud workloads, endpoints, networks, communications, data and existing enterprise systems.
Alongside AWS, CloudMates works with a broader technology-partner ecosystem that includes CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Mimecast and Turtleneck, as well as Microsoft, Cisco, Veeam, Commvault and Datadog. This breadth supports an enterprise approach to security, bringing together capabilities across protection, connectivity, data resilience and operational visibility around each customer's environment and priorities.
CloudMates combines this ecosystem with its own platforms, including RedScope for exposure management and DatrixOne for governance, risk and compliance. Its security services also bring together Turtleneck's Vyuha capabilities and AI SOC operations, connecting cloud expertise with wider enterprise-security needs.
The aim is to help customers build a coordinated security approach across their technology estate, integrating with existing investments and addressing business requirements rather than treating each tool as an isolated solution.
Bringing Together AI, Data, Media and Security
CloudMates' growing portfolio of AWS competencies reflects a broader vision: helping customers solve complex business challenges through connected technology capabilities. Each specialisation plays a role in enabling modern digital transformation.
- Generative AI: Developing and operationalising intelligent applications, AI-powered automation and emerging agentic AI capabilities.
- Data & Analytics: Modernising data platforms, unlocking actionable insights and establishing scalable foundations for AI-driven decision-making.
- Media & Entertainment: Delivering cloud-native solutions for media processing, content intelligence, streaming and digital media transformation.
- Security: Strengthening cloud security, governance, compliance and operational resilience across AWS environments.
By bringing these capabilities together, CloudMates helps customers move beyond individual technology initiatives towards integrated, secure and scalable digital platforms. Meaningful AI innovation depends on trusted data, resilient infrastructure and security embedded at every layer.
