IT-RAT is a boutique cloud consultancy. We lock down enterprise identity and infrastructure, and put cloud and AI costs back under control — with architects who do this every day at NatWest, Okta and PETRONAS.
Where our architects have built & secured cloud
Spend climbs faster than anyone forecast, AI workloads add a brand-new line item nobody owns, and every new service widens the attack surface. Most teams are firefighting both — without the architecture to fix the root cause.
Untagged resources, idle capacity, and AI/LLM usage with no cost ownership. Finance and engineering point at each other while the invoice grows.
Over-permissioned roles, standing access, and fragmented IAM across AWS, GCP, Okta and Auth0. One leaked key away from a very bad week.
Audits become fire drills. Compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST) is documented, not enforced. Pipelines ship faster than guardrails can keep up.
We pair deep cloud-security architecture with hands-on FinOps governance — so your platform is safe, compliant and cost-efficient by default, not by exception.
Identity-first security architecture that holds up to real audits and real attackers.
Turn cloud spend into a managed, forecastable number that finance and engineering both trust.
The foundation underneath both: scalable, resilient infrastructure built secure-by-default.
A senior, independent read on where your cloud stands — and a roadmap to fix it.
LLM APIs, token-based billing and cloud-native AI services are the fastest-growing — and least governed — part of the cloud bill. We bring cost visibility, allocation and guardrails to AI the same way FinOps did for compute, so you can scale models without scaling surprises.
You work directly with the people who do this at enterprise scale every day — not a layer of account managers.
Lead Security Architect, PETRONAS · ex-Cloud Native Architect, Okta
IAM solutions architect and cloud security consultant. Yurii defines enterprise-wide security strategy and designs secure, scalable architectures across hybrid and cloud-native environments — Zero Trust, identity, DevSecOps and platform resilience on AWS and GCP.
Principal FinOps Architect, NatWest Group · AWS Community Builder
FinOps expert in cloud financial governance, cost optimization and multi-cloud strategy. Tania aligns engineering, finance and business across cloud, Kubernetes and AI workloads — applying FinOps best practices to LLM APIs and token-based usage while keeping things sustainable and scalable.
A focused review of your cloud security posture and cost structure. You get a clear, prioritized picture of risk and waste — usually within weeks.
We design the target state: identity model, guardrails, FinOps operating model and reference architectures — mapped to your compliance obligations.
We implement alongside your team, automate the guardrails, and hand over with the standards and training that keep it secure and efficient long after.
Tell us where it hurts — runaway spend, a looming audit, an identity mess, or all three. We'll come back with a concrete first step.
