Digital services the public can rely on.
Public services have to work for everyone, every time, and keep people's data safe. We build to that standard, deliver in the agile phases government uses, and work in the open with your team.
Aligned with how government builds services.
Our engineering practices are designed around the standards public sector buyers assess against.
- GDS Service StandardUser needs first, multidisciplinary teams, iterative delivery and open working.
- Technology Code of PracticeOpen standards, cloud first, sharing and reuse, and no lock-in.
- WCAG 2.2 AADesigned to meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018.
- OWASP ASVSApplication security verified against an industry framework.
- NCSC Cloud Security PrinciplesData in transit and at rest protected; separation between tenants.
- UK GDPR and DPA 2018Data protection by design and by default, with DPIA support.
Discovery, alpha, beta, live.
We work in the phases you'll recognise from the Service Manual, with a clear exit at each one. You only commit to the next phase when the evidence says it's worth it.
- DiscoveryUnderstand users, the problem, policy constraints and what already exists.
- AlphaPrototype and test the riskiest ideas with real users before building for real.
- BetaBuild the service, open it to users, and prove it meets the standard.
- LiveRun, measure and keep improving, with support and security updates.
