Cloud Solutions
SpaGreen Creative provides senior IT consultancy and software QA services trusted by 8,200+ clients across 110+ countries. We have audited, hardened and rescued 350+ products — from venture-backed SaaS startups facing SOC 2 deadlines to enterprise teams whose deploys fail twice a week — and we turn flaky systems into predictable ones inside the first 60 days.
Our IT consultancy and QA engagements cover code audits, security reviews, test automation, CI/CD modernisation, performance audits, observability and fractional-CTO advisory. Whether you need a one-off audit before a fundraise or a long-term quality partner running Playwright suites overnight, you get senior architects and SDETs — never juniors learning on your production.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-price diagnostic, a written risk register and a prioritised remediation roadmap. No vague "consulting hours," no PowerPoint-only deliverables, no surprises on the invoice.
Common quality & delivery problems we solve
Most teams that hire us aren't short on engineers — they're short on outside perspective and quality discipline. Here's what we typically inherit and how we untangle it inside the first 30 days:
- “We need a SOC 2 auditor but don't have one.” We deliver a SOC 2-readiness assessment, fix the gaps (audit logs, access reviews, vendor management, IR runbooks) and prep you for the auditor.
- “Our test suite takes 90 minutes and is flaky.” We profile the suite, parallelise with sharding, kill the flake with deterministic fixtures and bring runtime under 10 minutes.
- “Production deploys fail twice a week.” We instrument CI/CD with canary releases, feature flags, automated rollback and pre-deploy smoke tests so deploy failures stop being heroic.
- “Founders are also the only QA.” We set up Playwright + Cypress automation, regression suites and a release checklist that runs without your CEO clicking around at 11 p.m.
- “We have no monitoring or alerting.” We install Datadog, Sentry or Grafana, define SLOs, set actionable alerts (no pager fatigue) and write a 1-page on-call runbook.
What you get with our IT consultancy & QA services
Every engagement is built on a measurable, evidence-based playbook refined across hundreds of audits and rescues. You get the rigour of a Big-4 audit with the speed of a senior engineering partner:
- Code audits with severity-ranked findings & refactor roadmaps
- Security review (OWASP Top 10, dependency scanning, secrets audit)
- SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness, gap analysis & policy templates
- Test automation: Playwright, Cypress, Jest, Vitest & Pytest
- Performance audits, k6 load testing & database query profiling
- CI/CD modernisation (GitHub Actions, GitLab, CircleCI, ArgoCD)
- Observability stack: Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
- Cloud cost audits & FinOps right-sizing recommendations
- Fractional CTO & technical due diligence for fundraises/M&A
- Hiring scorecards, technical interviews & team scaling playbooks
Our 4-step consultancy & QA process
A predictable, evidence-first process that turns vague "things feel slow" complaints into measurable improvements. Every phase ends with a written report, a prioritised backlog and a Loom walkthrough you can forward to your board or your auditor:
step 01
Audit & Diagnostic (Week 1–2)
NDA-protected access review, repo walkthrough, dependency scan, security threat model, performance baseline and a severity-ranked findings report you can act on immediately.
step 02
Roadmap & Quick Wins (Week 2–3)
Prioritised 30/60/90-day remediation plan, fixed-price roadmap, quick-win fixes (CI speedups, alert hygiene, secret rotation) shipped while the longer plan is approved.
step 03
Implementation (Week 4–10)
Test automation, CI/CD modernisation, SOC 2 controls, observability install, performance fixes — paired with your team and shipped behind feature flags with weekly demos.
step 04
Continuous Improvement (Ongoing)
Monthly quality reviews, dashboards for DORA metrics, test flake rate, MTTR and security posture — plus fractional-CTO office hours and on-call retainer plans.
Stop firefighting. Start shipping.

Questions about IT consultancy & QA
Fixed-price code audits start at $2,500 for a focused 1-week engagement covering security, architecture, dependencies and CI/CD. Full QA automation engagements (Playwright/Cypress + CI integration + flake elimination) start at $6,000/mo. Fractional CTO retainers start at $3,500/mo. You always receive a written, evidence-backed report with severity-ranked findings.
A baseline Playwright or Cypress automation suite for the top 10 critical flows typically ships in 3 to 5 weeks, including CI integration and parallel sharding. Full regression coverage with visual testing and cross-browser sweeps usually lands in 8 to 12 weeks. Quick-win fixes (flake elimination, faster CI) start in week 1.
A QA engagement is ongoing — we write and maintain automated tests, hunt regressions and own release quality. A software audit is a fixed-scope diagnostic — we read the code, run security and performance scans and deliver a written report with prioritised findings. Many clients start with an audit and then move into a QA retainer once the highest-risk gaps are closed.
Yes. We deliver a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness assessment, close the gaps (access reviews, audit logging, vendor management, incident response runbooks, encryption at rest and in transit) and prepare you for a Type I or Type II audit with a third-party auditor. We don't issue the report ourselves, but we make sure the audit is a checkbox.
Yes. Fractional CTO retainers (from $3,500/mo) cover technical strategy, architecture reviews, hiring scorecards, technical interviews, vendor due diligence and board reporting. Ideal for seed/Series A startups that need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire.
Yes. We deliver investor-ready technical due diligence reports covering architecture, scalability, security posture, IP risk, key-person risk and technical debt — typically completed in 2 to 3 weeks with full data-room artefacts.
We profile the suite to find the 5–10 worst offenders, replace shared mutable state with deterministic fixtures, parallelise with sharding, cache dependencies and move slow E2E tests behind feature-flag-aware smoke tests. Most teams see CI runtime drop 40–70% inside the first month.
Yes. On-call retainers include a written incident response runbook, paging via PagerDuty/Opsgenie, SLO-based alerting and post-incident review (PIR) facilitation. We help build the muscle so your team can take over the rotation when ready.
