About

Assurance built on real delivery experience

Assuredence was founded to give organisations an independent, practical view of their IT, from people who've designed and built secure platforms in some of the UK's most demanding environments.

Our story

Assuredence is led by John Butler, a cloud and security architect with more than twenty years in Microsoft infrastructure. Over the last decade John has designed Azure platforms, identity models and security operations for the Ministry of Defence, HMRC, NHS England, the Ministry of Justice and regulated enterprises.

That work has always sat close to assurance: designs that had to survive peer review, formal accreditation and security sign-off. Assuredence brings that same rigour to organisations that want independent confidence in their own IT.

We're independent. We don't resell products or licences, so our findings are about your risk, not our pipeline.
