OakPath

OakPath needed its infrastructure to move from a collection of environments to a governed platform. We embedded as a pod to own the workspaces, harden the controls, and automate the compliance surface.

Context

As OakPath scaled, the environments that engineers depended on day-to-day began to outpace the org's ability to govern them — cloud accounts multiplying, access paths diverging, controls drifting. The ask wasn't another policy PDF; it was a platform team that would take ownership of the workspaces themselves and make the right thing the easy thing.

Approach

What we built.

  • 01

    Workspace ownership model

    Cloud accounts, developer environments, and shared services consolidated under a single ownership model — one on-call, one control plane, one source of truth for who has access to what.

  • 02

    Controls as code

    Identity, access, and policy expressed as version-controlled configuration. Drift gets caught in CI, not by auditors. New environments inherit the baseline automatically.

  • 03

    Paved-path tooling

    Standardized runways for provisioning, secrets, logging, and observability so product teams ship on known-safe rails instead of rolling their own.

  • 04

    Evidence on demand

    Control attestations, access reviews, and audit evidence generated from live system state — not snapshots glued together the week before a review.

Results

Environments consolidated under a single governed platform. Controls that used to be manually enforced are now continuously verified, and audit evidence assembles itself.
