Architecture assurance
Review principles, target state, integration, data, resilience and important design decisions.
Programme assurance
Independent technical review.
Before risk reaches production.
MAITS reviews programmes delivered internally or by another supplier, giving leaders an independent view of architecture, implementation readiness and material technical risk.
Separate from delivery
Assurance can be commissioned independently of implementation so findings, evidence gaps and recommendations remain clear.
Capability
Review the decisions and evidence that matter.
Assurance is shaped around decision gates, risk and the responsibilities of the programme’s existing governance.
Security and IAM assurance
Assess threat, control coverage, identity architecture, privilege, lifecycle and operational ownership.
Vendor solution review
Test proposed designs, assumptions, dependencies and contractual technical commitments.
Delivery and design review
Examine traceability from requirements and architecture into backlog, configuration and change control.
Testing assurance
Review control tests, negative paths, recovery scenarios, defect handling and evidence quality.
Production readiness
Assess cutover, support, monitoring, security, rollback, ownership and residual risk acceptance.
Engagement outcomes
Make the next decision and delivery step clearer.
Independent risk view
Material issues are visible to accountable leaders and governance forums.
Evidence gaps
Missing proof, assumptions and untested controls are made explicit.
Corrective actions
Recommendations are prioritised around programme decisions and exposure.
Readiness decision support
Leaders have a stronger basis for approving the next stage.
Expected outputs
Useful artefacts for the people who must act.
Outputs are agreed for the engagement scope and written for the leaders, architects, engineers, operators and assurance teams who will use them.

From advice through implementation
Enter at the stage where support is needed.
MAITS can provide one bounded stage or remain involved across design, delivery, validation and capability transfer.
Understand the decision
Clarify the people, systems, obligations, constraints, ownership and outcome involved.
Establish current state
Review evidence, architecture, controls, risk, capability and delivery readiness.
Define the target
Set principles, architecture, policy, operating ownership and a practical change sequence.
Implement the change
Configure, integrate, automate, migrate and roll out alongside accountable teams.
Test the outcome
Review behaviour, evidence, exceptions, recovery, readiness and residual risk.
Transfer capability
Embed knowledge, governance, runbooks, measures and an owned improvement path.
Related capability
Continue with the service that matches the next decision.
