Client Case Study: National Security

Client Challenge

Our client, a major American defence technology organisation, required a partner to enable them to deliver a Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) contract supporting complex, security critical programmes for a Confidential Government Department. The organisation needed a partner capable of delivering end to end testing and assurance across the full systems development lifecycle, while operating within high security environments and aligning to Agile and DevSecOps delivery models.

As the leading provider of security cleared capability in the UK, we were selected to deliver a fully managed, outcome‑driven Testing and Quality Assurance service, providing both strategic leadership and hands‑on delivery across a broad portfolio of programmes.

Our Solution

We designed our service to be flexible, scalable, and security‑cleared, enabling the client to respond quickly to changing delivery demands while maintaining assurance of mission‑critical systems.

Key elements of the approach included:

• - A structured mobilisation model with knowledge retention and controlled handover.
• - A dedicated Service Delivery Team to evaluate and manage demand and delivery progress.
• - Deployment of highly skilled, predominantly DV cleared testing professionals.
• - Alignment to existing Agile frameworks and DevOps practices.
• - A strong focus on risk‑based testing and continuous improvement.
• - Clear governance, reporting, and KPI‑driven performance management.

We provide a blended multi‑disciplinary team, including: QAT delivery leadership, Test managers and delivery owners, Automation, performance, and specialist test engineers, Security, accessibility, and operational readiness testers, and Cloud‑enabled and DevOps‑aligned specialists.

Value Delivered

Our Service provides the client with a trusted, long‑term testing partner capable of supporting mission‑critical defence and security programmes, while continuously improving quality, efficiency, and assurance across the delivery lifecycle.

It enables the client to access scarce, security cleared testing expertise on demand, operate across multiple programmes and business areas, scale capacity as required and maintain consistent standards and governance.
