Is this the right fit?
Built for Organizations That Want A Hands-Off Solution
Most organizations don't have the bandwidth to continuously manage their growing cloud environments or properly secure them against breaches. According to Flexera's State of the Cloud Report, 29% of cloud spending is wasted, and that figure is steadily increasing.
DevSecOps management is proven to do more to reduce costs and costly security breaches than any other method.
This is a good fit for organizations that:
Face Compliance
SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 all require evidence of ongoing monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response. This service produces that evidence as a byproduct of doing the work.
Need Additional Support
Your engineers spend their weeks on monitoring, patching, and firefighting while the improvement backlog keeps growing. We take the operational load so they can take the roadmap.
Need an Ops Team
You need a documented support process, but hiring and staffing a full ops or SecOps team isn't realistic. We provide both.
What's Included
DevOps and Security Operations Combined
Everything below is part of the base retainer. No security add-on, no separate contract. You receive a team that covers how your environment runs and how its protected.
DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS
Keeping Your Environment Healthy
The daily operational work that keeps systems running, current, and recoverable.
-
Daily Monitoring
Continuous review of environment health and system telemetry, with tickets opened for anything that needs action.
-
Patching & Maintenance
OS, runtime, and dependency patching on an agreed cadence, tracked through change management.
-
Backup Management
Oversight of backup jobs, retention policies, and restore validation — so recovery can stand up easily when you need it.
-
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
Annual tabletop exercises and quarterly readiness reports, facilitated and documented by Yahara.
-
Infrastructure-As-Code Maintenance
Ongoing updates to your IaC configurations and repositories as the environment evolves.

Change Management
Every change is logged, reviewed, and implemented on schedule through a documented process.

Deployment Support
Monitoring during release windows, post-deployment validation, and after-action reports.
-
Optimization Recommendations
A monthly report identifying cost, performance, and reliability improvements based on what we're seeing.
SECURITY OPERATIONS
Keeping Your Environment Protected
The security practices most teams know they need but rarely have the bandwidth to sustain.
-
Security Monitoring
Daily review of security event feeds and alerts, with tickets opened for anything requiring triage.
-
Incident Response
Active response to confirmed security incidents, including communications and post-incident reports.
-
Vulnerability Management
Ongoing monitoring for newly reported vulnerabilities (CVEs) and findings from scanning activity.
-
System Hardening
Proactive configuration updates that shrink your attack surface as security best practices evolve.
-
Scan Finding Resolution
Remediation of vulnerability scan findings through configuration and system updates, as opposed to a simple report of what's wrong.
-
Threat Hunting
Monthly review of production for indicators of compromise, with findings and mitigation recommendations.
-
Audit Support
Security artifacts retained and organized so your next compliance audit starts with evidence in hand.
-
Monthly SecOps Report
A clear summary of all security activity, open findings, and remediation status each month.
How The Engagement Works
1 |
Structured ramp-up before go-live Before support goes live, we work alongside your team and any existing providers to transfer knowledge, document workflows, configure the service desk, build runbooks, and run support drills that prove escalation paths work — so day one isn't a discovery exercise. |
2 |
Ongoing support with real coverage Business-hours support runs Monday through Friday. Submit issues through a web portal or email, and every ticket is acknowledged within one business hour. After-hours coverage is available for critical outages and incidents. |
3 |
Documented SLAs on every ticket Every issue is classified into one of four priority tiers — Critical, High, Medium, Low — each with defined response, triage, and resolution goals. SLA (Several Level Agreement) compliance is tracked on every ticket, and the full breakdown is spelled out in your Statement of Work. |
4 |
Monthly reporting and regular check-ins One consolidated monthly report covers everything worked, open items, recommendations, and hours used against your retainer. Touch-base meetings and retrospectives run on a cadence your team sets at kickoff. |
The Value It Brings to Your Organization
Predictable Cost
A fixed monthly retainer replaces unpredictable break-fix billing. You know your infrastructure support cost before the month begins.
Dedicated Coverage
Support from a team that knows your environment and your team.
Structured SLAs
Every issue is acknowledged, triaged, and resolved against a documented SLA with four priority tiers, from Critical to Low.
Security Included
Vulnerability management, incident response, hardening, and threat hunting are included in the same retainer.
Monthly Visibility
Consolidated reports show exactly what was completed, what was found, and where recommendations stand.
Institutional Knowledge
Process documentation and architecture knowledge are maintained for you, which reduces key-person risk and speeds up incident recovery.
Investment
One Fixed Monthly Retainer
Pricing reflects the size and complexity of your environment and the monthly hours needed to support it. You get the full DevOps and SecOps scope for a fixed monthly cost, with the flexibility to adjust as your needs change.

FAQ
Common questions about Yahara's managed DevSecOps and cloud support services.
-
Is security included, or is it an add-on?
Security operations are included in the base retainer. Vulnerability management, incident response, system hardening, threat hunting, and audit support are part of the same engagement as your DevOps coverage. One team, one contract, one monthly report.
-
Which cloud platforms do you support?
Yahara supports environments on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as on-premises and hybrid infrastructure. The same monitoring, patching, and security practices apply regardless of where your systems run.
-
How does pricing work?
Pricing is a fixed monthly retainer based on the size and complexity of your environment and the monthly hours needed to support it. Work beyond the monthly cap is billed at a pre-agreed time-and-materials rate, so there are no surprise invoices.
-
Will this help us with SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 compliance?
Yes. The service produces the ongoing evidence these frameworks require — continuous monitoring records, vulnerability management activity, incident response documentation, and organized security artifacts to support your audits.
-
What happens before support goes live?
Every engagement starts with a structured ramp-up period. Yahara works alongside your team and any existing providers to transfer knowledge, document workflows, configure the service desk, build runbooks, and run support drills that confirm escalation paths work before day one.
-
Can Yahara work alongside our internal IT team?
That's the most common arrangement. Yahara takes on the day-to-day operational and security work so your internal team can focus on projects that move the business forward. During ramp-up, we coordinate directly with your team and any existing service providers.
-
What's not included in the retainer?
The engagement covers infrastructure and environment issues within the defined scope. Items outside scope — such as user training issues, procedural errors, or requests unrelated to the managed environment — are handled through a documented escalation and change request process, so nothing falls through the cracks.
