Cloud Security & DevSecOps Services for Startups in India
Your fractional cloud, infrastructure, and security team — on a monthly retainer. Built for pre-seed and seed startups (5–50 engineers) that don't have a DevOps person yet, and are tired of plugging holes one consultant at a time.
We operate across India, Singapore, UAE, UK, and US. ₹40k–₹2.5L/month tiered by hours. No long-term lock-in. Every engagement is fixed scope, fixed price, audit-ready.
Why fractional DevSecOps beats hiring (right now)
Most pre-seed and seed startups face the same problem: you need cloud architecture, CI/CD automation, and security expertise — three separate disciplines — but you can only afford one senior hire. And that one person can't credibly be all three. Hiring three full-time engineers means ₹1.5–3 crore a year in fully-loaded cost before equity, before benefits, before the 6-month ramp where they're still learning your stack.
We solve it differently. MatrixGard becomes your cloud + infrastructure + security team on a monthly retainer for a fraction of the cost of one senior hire. Same faces every sprint. One Slack channel. One invoice. Senior capacity from day one — no ramp, no learning curve, no recruiter fees.
We're not a consultancy that disappears after the audit. We're not a managed service that throws cookie-cutter alerts at you. We're not a body shop that swaps in junior engineers when nobody's looking. We're the team you would have hired if you could.
