About us
Who We Are
At CiriacoSSL, we are more than just a DevSecOps consultancy firm — we are the engineering partner behind your next big leap. Founded with the clear mission to democratize enterprise-grade infrastructure for startups, fintechs, SaaS platforms, and innovation-driven companies, we specialize in building secure, scalable, and cloud-native systems from the ground up.
Whether you’re launching a new product, scaling to new markets, navigating a compliance process, or modernizing legacy infrastructure, our goal is simple: make your infrastructure a strategic enabler — not a burden.
We blend deep technical knowledge with real-world business sense to help organizations reduce complexity, accelerate time to market, and embed security across every layer of their stack. Unlike many vendors who deliver one-off solutions, we build long-term technical partnerships that evolve with your growth.
We speak both English and Spanish, and serve clients across North America, Latin America, and Europe, adapting to the cultural and operational contexts of each team. Whether your team is in New York, Miami, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, or Madrid — we’re ready to collaborate in your language, your time zone, and your reality.
What We Do
Our work revolves around three pillars: Security, Scalability, and Simplicity. Every service we offer is grounded in those principles and delivered with the agility that today’s teams demand.
1. DevSecOps Consulting
Security is not a layer we add at the end — it’s embedded from day one. Our DevSecOps practice ensures that your infrastructure, development workflows, and cloud environments are secure by design.
We help you implement:
- Secure CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
- Static and dynamic code analysis tools
- Secrets management with tools like Vault, Sealed Secrets, and SOPS
- Container image scanning and runtime protection
- Policy-as-code with OPA Gatekeeper and Kyverno
- SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI readiness from an infrastructure perspective
With CiriacoSSL, compliance becomes a natural outcome of your engineering practices — not a disruptive effort.
2. Kubernetes Architecture & Operations
We are Kubernetes specialists. From lightweight K3s deployments for startups to robust multi-region EKS or GKE clusters for scale-ups, we design and operate production-grade container orchestration platforms that deliver performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Key capabilities include:
- High availability and fault tolerance
- GitOps-native clusters (ArgoCD, Flux)
- Multi-cloud and hybrid support
- Service mesh integrations (Istio, Linkerd)
- Resource autoscaling and cost control
- Network segmentation and PodSecurityPolicies
- Observability: Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
- Custom CRDs, controllers, and operator patterns
We help you choose the best Kubernetes strategy for your team size, use case, and growth trajectory — and we make sure your team can operate it with confidence.
3. Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Modern infrastructure must be repeatable, auditable, and self-documenting. That’s why we design everything as code — from your VPC to your Kubernetes clusters.
Our tooling stack includes:
- Terraform and Terragrunt for modular, DRY infrastructure
- Atlantis or CI-based workflows for collaborative IaC
- Pulumi, optionally, for TypeScript/Python-native infra
- Ansible for OS-level provisioning and hardening
- Secure state management with backend encryption and access policies
With CiriacoSSL, your team gains full control over cloud environments in a safe, traceable, and versioned manner.
4. Custom Cloud & Hosting Solutions
Not every project should live on AWS or GCP. For teams that need data sovereignty, vendor neutrality, or cost-effective hosting, we offer our own private cloud infrastructure — designed with the same rigor as hyperscaler environments.
We support:
- Hosting workloads outside of AWS/GCP for regulatory or cost reasons
- Hybrid setups combining private and public infrastructure
- SaaS deployments that are cloud-agnostic and resilient
- Long-term managed hosting in strategic partnerships
All our infrastructure is built with Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, security enforcement, and observability tooling — ready to scale as you do.
Our Philosophy
At CiriacoSSL, every decision we make is rooted in a clear philosophy:
Security by Design
We don’t treat security as an add-on. We embed it into every layer — from network segmentation and RBAC to secrets rotation, encryption, and audit trails. Our DevSecOps-first mindset ensures that your systems are resilient, auditable, and trustworthy from the very beginning.
Developer Velocity
Security and governance should enable developers, not slow them down. We build platforms that allow developers to move fast — safely — with tools like:
- Preview environments on every pull request
- Git-based environment promotion
- Self-service CI/CD pipelines
- Feature toggles and deployment automation
Your team stays in control — with fewer bottlenecks and shorter feedback loops.
Start Small, Scale Smart
You don’t need to overengineer from day one. We help startups and growing teams launch quickly with lean, flexible architecture — and ensure that every decision supports long-term scalability.
We’ll guide you from “just get it live” to “this system can handle 10x growth” — without needing a full-time DevOps team.
Who We Work With
We partner with:
- Early-stage startups looking to launch quickly with a strong foundation
- Fintechs preparing for SOC2, PCI, or GDPR audits
- SaaS companies scaling to multi-region or multi-tenant architectures
- Engineering teams modernizing from legacy systems to cloud-native stacks
- CTOs who need strategic infrastructure guidance and tactical execution
Our clients range from two-person teams to companies with 100+ engineers. What they have in common: ambitious goals, technical challenges, and the need for a trusted infrastructure partner.
Some real-world examples:
- A fintech migrating to AWS and preparing for ISO 27001 certification
- A startup moving from a monolith to Kubernetes-based microservices
- A product team needing Terraform, ArgoCD, and logging set up in 3 weeks
- A healthcare platform deploying in multiple regions with privacy constraints
Why CiriacoSSL
There are hundreds of DevOps vendors. Here’s why our clients choose (and stay with) CiriacoSSL:
1. Full-Stack Infrastructure
From Linux hardening to Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud automation — we deliver the full stack, not just a piece of it. That means fewer handoffs, less guesswork, and faster delivery.
2. Cloud-Agnostic Mindset
We help you avoid cloud vendor lock-in by using open-source tooling and portable architectures. Whether you’re on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Hetzner, or your own datacenter — we’ll make it work, and keep it flexible.
3. Real DevSecOps
We’ve worked in high-stakes industries — banks, crypto exchanges, government platforms — where uptime and compliance are non-negotiable. We bring that same discipline to startups and growing companies.
4. Kubernetes Expertise
From lightweight dev clusters to enterprise-ready production environments, we design Kubernetes that fits your team — not the other way around.
5. True Partnership
We’re not code-dump consultants. We mentor, embed, and empower your team. You get systems and the understanding to operate them well.

We start by understanding your business goals, team structure, current architecture, and pain points. This ensures technical work stays aligned with business value.
2. Architecture Design
We create infrastructure blueprints, workflows, and automation plans tailored to your environment. No cookie-cutter solutions.
3. Implementation
Our team provisions and configures your stack using Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines — with clear documentation along the way.
4. Handover
We deliver diagrams, Terraform modules, configuration files, and train your team. You own everything — no black boxes.
5. Ongoing Support (Optional)
If you need it, we offer SLA-based support, incident response, and architecture reviews as you grow.
Our Vision
At CiriacoSSL, we believe that infrastructure should be a growth accelerator — not a blocker. Our vision is to help companies of all sizes adopt cloud-native practices that deliver enterprise-level reliability without the enterprise-level bloat.
We want to be the technical backbone for the next generation of financial apps, healthtech, edtech, and SaaS platforms.
