End-to-End Cybersecurity: Governance, Controls, and Operations Working Together
Aqueduct Technologies helps organizations design, build, and manage comprehensive cybersecurity programs across three core phases: governance, security controls, and operations. Governance sets the direction—defining risk management strategy, compliance requirements, and organizational security policies. Controls translate that strategy into the technical and procedural safeguards that protect data, infrastructure, and users. Operations ensures those safeguards remain effective through continuous monitoring, validation, and incident response.
Whether engaged for a single phase or delivering end-to-end managed security services, Aqueduct integrates seamlessly with your team to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and improve overall resilience.

Security Controls
Turn governance into actionable safeguards that protect data, systems, and users.
- Identity & access safeguards
- SaaS, multi-cloud, and infrastructure security
- Data protection in transit and at rest
- Ransomware resilience
- SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)
- Secure-by-design practices for AI & modern data platforms
Security Operations
Ensure safeguards remain effective through constant monitoring and rapid response.
- 24/7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
- Continuous vulnerability scanning & patch management
- Threat hunting & intelligence-led detection of emerging risks
- Pen testing, red team exercises, and adversary simulations
- Incident response & remediation
- Security awareness training & phishing simulations
- Tabletop exercises
Reassessment
Keep programs adaptive and aligned by feeding insights back into governance and controls.
- Incident trends drive updates to policies and safeguards
- Vulnerability findings inform program maturity roadmaps
- Training results highlight where governance must adjust
- Ensures governance, safeguards, and operations evolve together

Our recent assessment with the Aqueduct Team was an outstanding experience. They brought a thoughtful, practical approach to the audit and went far beyond simply ‘checking the box.’ The team took the time to clearly explain processes to everyone involved, and the feedback from our staff was overwhelmingly positive.
