Why Regulated Industries Trust Plectrum
We are a founder-led boutique cloud engineering company. That means you work directly with senior engineers and founders who own the outcome, not a staffing layer that manages it from a distance.
Since 2014 we have been building and strengthening cloud foundations for fintech and financial services companies across Europe and beyond, with experience extending into government, aviation, medtech, and other regulated industries where weak infrastructure quickly becomes operational risk.
What We Do
Solutions
Cloud Foundations
The baseline every regulated cloud system needs before it can move fast is infrastructure, compliant by construction, not by afterthought. This is the part of the framework that never gets rebuilt, only extended.
Cloud Migration
Systems inherit the resilient infrastructure Cloud Foundations already built, migrated with minimal downtime and no guesswork. Nothing is lifted-and-shifted. Every move follows your requirements, not a generic playbook.
Principal Advisory
From what's running today to what you'll build next, Advisory keeps it reviewed, audited, and on-budget. Senior engineers mentor your team the whole way, so the framework stays yours to run.
Education First
Education, Backed by Action – Since 2015
As a recognized educational partner of the Faculty of Management Science and Informatics at the University of Žilina, we educate the next generation of cloud engineers, bringing real-world infrastructure experience into the classroom.

FAQ
Questions We Get Asked Most
Something we did not cover? Reach out directly and we will get back to you.
The kick-off meeting is a free 45 minute online call with our founders. No sales pitch, no account managers. We use the time to understand your current situation, your challenges, and what you are trying to achieve. You will leave with a clear sense of whether and how we can help, and what a potential next step would look like.
We build and fix the technical setup a company runs its software on in the cloud, things like accounts, networking, security, and how systems are monitored and backed up. Think of it as the plumbing and wiring behind your product. When it is done right, nobody notices it. When it is done wrong, it becomes a serious problem, especially for companies that get audited or operate in regulated industries.
Yes, with an important distinction. We are not a compliance or certification firm, but our cloud foundations are built to comply from the start. We have experience at every stage of the compliance journey, from greenfield infrastructure built for audit readiness to supporting companies already operating under DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, FCA/PRA, and other regulated frameworks. Where formal certification support is needed, we work with dedicated compliance partners to cover the full picture.
With a large consultancy you get process, account managers, and a rotating cast of engineers. With Plectrum you get direct access to senior engineers and founders who are hands-on from day one. We stay intentionally small so every engagement gets our best people, not whoever is available. We also bring a focused specialism, secure cloud foundations for regulated industries, rather than a catalogue of generic services.
Cloud foundations are the infrastructure layer everything else in your business sits on. Account structure, networking, identity and access, security guardrails, observability, delivery pipelines. But more than a list of components, cloud foundations represent the right way to build and operate that layer, shaped by industry best practices and more than a decade of real-world experience in fintech and other regulated environments. When we talk about cloud foundations, we mean infrastructure done properly, not just infrastructure done.
