Four things a generic SaaS shop can’t hand you
This is what twelve regulated builds have hammered into the studio. Not a brochure. The reasons founders in named-regulator industries trust us with the data their regulator audits.
The regulator wired in, not bolted on
Your regulator’s controls are a day-one architecture decision, not a panic project the month before assurance. FCA, DSPT, KCSIE, SRA, AML, all designed into the spine.
Sensitive data, scoped at the layer
Access enforced at the data layer, not the application code. A misrouted query returns zero rows, not someone else’s record. IDOR-tested in audit week, every vertical.
An evidence pack at handover
Mapped to your regulator’s current assertions, ready for your assurance team to read cold. The same discipline that put zero findings in production across seven years.
A real reply in 24 hours
Mohit reads every brief personally. A real reply, not a calendar link, inside one working day. London time, every time.
The pain. The day-1 answer.
Every founder in a regulated industry who emails us is fighting one of these. Each one is impossible to fix cheaply once the codebase is live. Each one is a single architectural decision made on day one of our build.
- 01
“Our regulator asked for an audit trail and we don’t have one. Now it’s six months of panic.”
Append-only audit log on every mutation. Actor, tenant, IP, timestamp, before-value, after-value, logged from commit one. Your regulator’s evidence request becomes an export, not a rebuild.
- 02
“We have UK and EU customers and no idea where their data actually sits.”
Region-pinned storage with a residency map. UK and EU data pinned to region, documented in writing. SCCs for any cross-border flow. The map your DPO hands the regulator without flinching.
- 03
“A customer asked us to delete their data and we can’t do it without breaking the app.”
Right-to-erasure enforced at the schema. 30-day DSAR response defendable. Erasure cascades cleanly because the model was built for it. ICO audit-defendable, not a developer’s weekend.
- 04
“An enterprise prospect sent a 60-page security questionnaire and we can’t answer most of it.”
SIG-Lite and CAIQ pre-filled at handover. Pen-test report, architecture diagram, DR plan, SLA, uptime SLO, all in the pack. The questionnaire takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
- 05
“Our acquirer’s CTO flagged the architecture and the offer is on hold.”
An architecture brief and ADRs they read cold. The documents the diligence team asks for, shipped with the build. Series A founders we worked with passed acquirer reviews on first walkthrough.
- 06
“Our last studio held the code hostage. We can’t risk that with a regulated product.”
Code in your GitHub org from commit one. IP assigns on commit, not final payment. 30-day walk-away both ways. Two handovers in seven years, both inside 48 hours.
Twelve industry pages. Every regulator named in the hero.
Each card carries its UK regulator and a real shipped count. Where the full page is live, the card links straight to it. Tap yours and read how we wire the regulator into the build, not bolt it on at the end.
Fintech
FCA-aware. PCI, PSD3, AML, ledger-first accounting. Nine fintechs shipped, zero sanctions incidents.
Healthtech
NHS DSPT, DCB0129, MHRA. Four healthtechs shipped. Four DSPT packs accepted first time.
Edtech
KCSIE safeguarding and parental consent baked in. UK MAT-ready data model from day one.
Legaltech
SRA, COLP, AML. Audit-defendable matter records and a client-money trail your COLP can sign.
Proptech
AML, TDS, Land Registry. Letting-agent grade deposit handling and an audit trail that holds up.
HR-tech
UK GDPR, IR35, RTI. DSAR-ready by design. Right-to-erasure enforced at the schema, not the UI.
Marketplaces
Stripe Connect, KYC, dispute resolution. Multi-party payouts that reconcile against your bank.
Ecommerce
Headless Shopify, PCI-minimised checkout, BFCM survival. Load-tested past your worst peak.
Logistics
Custom TMS, WMS, driver app, DVSA. Route, proof-of-delivery, and tachograph data in one trail.
B2B Software
SSO, SCIM, SOC 2 procurement-ready. The pack your enterprise buyer’s security team reads cold.
Media + Publishing
Headless CMS, paywall, Prebid, GAM. IAB TCF v2.2 consent wired before the first ad call.
Nonprofit + Charity
Gift Aid, safeguarding, Bacs, trustee dashboard. The numbers your board signs off without a fight.
One spine, twelve regulators, no rebuild between them.
The same defensible spine carries every vertical. Tier 1 runs every build. Tier 2 is what we reach for when the brief needs it, Python for fintech back-office, Java for enterprise integrations. Tier 3 scales it to Series B without a rewrite.

5-day regulator audit
Fixed at £8K. We strip the brief, name your regulator’s controls, pick the stack, write the architecture, hand you a signed scope.
- 5-day senior audit
- Architecture brief + ADRs
- Regulator control mapping
- No commitment to build
Full vertical build sprint
Fixed-scope, fixed-GBP shipping. Same seniors all the way. Evidence pack and DPA at handover, mapped to your regulator.

Senior advisory retainer
After handover. Monthly retainer for a senior engineer plus architectural advisory. Most clients run this while in-house catches up.
- One senior engineer dedicated
- Architectural advisory from Mohit
- 30-day notice both ways
- Pause + resume any month
“Their CTO read the architecture brief twice and stopped asking us for things. It was the document that closed our round.”
— Helena F., founder, UK HR-tech SaaSWhat founders in regulated industries actually ask before signing
Pain-first, soft-second. The questions every founder in a regulated vertical asks after their third bad agency experience.
We already know it. The industries we serve in the UK each carry a named regulator wired into our build pattern: FCA for fintech, NHS DSPT and DCB0129 for healthtech, KCSIE for edtech, SRA for legaltech, AML and TDS for proptech, IR35 and RTI for HR-tech. We’ve shipped builds in twelve verticals with zero regulator findings in production across seven years. You’re not paying us to read your rulebook for the first time.
We don’t price by salesperson mood. The audit is fixed at £8K and takes 5 days. After that, every build is line-itemed into the scope document, and you can cut any piece. The audit plus sprint is quoted at the end of the audit week, against real scope, not a guess. If we can’t hit your budget, we tell you in week one and you walk away with the audit brief, no commitment.
Region-pinned storage with a residency map you can hand your regulator. UK data stays UK, EU data stays EU, with SCCs documented for any cross-border flow. Right-to-erasure is enforced at the schema, so a DSAR is a 30-day defendable export, not a developer’s weekend. Signed DPA and a versioned sub-processor list ship with the build. This is standard across every vertical in the industries we serve.
Yes, and we hand you the answers. SIG-Lite and CAIQ come pre-filled in the handover pack, alongside a pen-test report, architecture diagram, DR plan, SLA, and uptime SLO. We achieved SOC 2 Type II at Empyreal in December 2025, with Vanta evidence live, and we wire the same evidence pipeline for clients from Day 1. The questionnaire takes you an afternoon, not a quarter.
That’s the bar we build to. The architecture brief and ADRs we ship are the exact documents a diligence team asks for, and acquirer CTOs have read them cold and stopped asking for more. Twelve Series A founders we built with went on to raise Series B, two reached IPO, and three exited via M&A with full team retention. The receipts survive the call because they’re real production numbers, not projections.
Every project pairs two seniors, not one. Every decision is written into an ADR the same day, and every commit goes through Mohit’s review. If one engineer leaves, the other has full context the next morning. In seven years two engineers have left mid-project, both handovers inside 48 hours, neither client noticed in their sprint. On a regulated build that continuity is the difference between an audit you pass and one you postpone.
You walk away cleanly. Your code lives in your GitHub org from commit one, IP assigns on commit, and the handover pack includes the architecture brief, ADRs, runbook, evidence pack, and DPA. The £5K/month advisory retainer is optional and cancellable with 30 days’ notice, any month. Most clients run it for the first six to nine months while their in-house lead settles in, then end it without ceremony. No lock-in, no surprise renewals.
Usually, yes. The twelve are where we’ve shipped repeatedly, but the discipline travels: name the regulator, wire its controls into the spine on day one, log every mutation, scope data at the layer, ship the evidence pack at handover. Send a five-line brief with your industry and the regulator you answer to, and Mohit will tell you in one working day whether it’s a fit. If it isn’t, he’ll say so plainly.

Regulation baked into the schema.
FCA, PCI, UK GDPR, NHS DSPT, safeguarding — each sector carries its own due-diligence baseline. We’ve shipped in every one, so your sprint doesn’t pay for the learning curve.
- Fintech, healthtech, edtech, legaltech & more
- Regulatory baseline in the data model, not bolted on
- MVPs and rebuilds an acquirer can defend
