continuous.engineering is a specialist engineering firm. Before our team can start work on your infrastructure, you grant us access — securely, with full audit trail, and on your terms. This is how.

🔑

No shared credentials

Our engineers authenticate via MFA-enforced SSO. No access keys, no passwords, no VPN accounts. Nothing to rotate at the end of an engagement because there is nothing to rotate.

📋

Every action is logged

Every API call appears in your CloudTrail and on a dedicated CloudWatch dashboard — engineer identity, action, resource, timestamp, source IP. You own the logs. We cannot touch them.

🎛️

You stay in control

You deploy the stack. You own the roles. Restrict production access by tag, limit database shell access to tagged instances, and delete everything in one command when the engagement ends.

🛡️

SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI ready

The access model maps directly to third-party access controls required by SOC 2 CC6, HIPAA 164.312, PCI DSS Requirement 7/8/10, and ISO 27001 A.8.

🔒

No open ports

Instance access goes through AWS Systems Manager over HTTPS. Port 22 stays closed. Your security groups do not change.

🚨

Admin alerting

Your security team receives an email every time CE-Admin is assumed. Not just when something goes wrong. Every single time, within seconds.

What this is ​

continuous.engineering is a specialist engineering firm. We build and operate cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and data systems for companies that need serious engineering capacity.

When you engage us, our engineers need access to your cloud environment to do the work. This site documents exactly how that happens: what gets deployed in your account, what our engineers can and cannot do, and how to revoke all access the moment you need to.

How it works ​

You deploy a CloudFormation stack — a single command or a few clicks. The stack creates a set of IAM roles in your account that our engineers can assume using their MFA-enforced SSO credentials. Every session is short-lived (2 to 4 hours). Every action is logged under the individual engineer's identity.

When the engagement ends, you delete the stack. All roles are removed immediately. There are no credentials to hunt down and rotate because our engineers never held any.
