Explore compliance readinessOur Approach
How we actually work.
You know who has your code. We implement alongside your team, transfer knowledge throughout, and you own the system when we're done.
-
Hands-on implementation
We configure your pipelines, write your security policies, and implement controls alongside your team.
-
Full knowledge transfer
Clear documentation, team training, and 30-day support post-handoff.
-
Right-sized solutions
We build for where you are now with foundations that scale. Right-sized architecture decisions that minimize unnecessary complexity and technical debt.
What We Do
Our core services.
We secure the systems you already run and help your team keep them secure after handoff. From CI/CD and cloud architecture to CMMC and CPCSC readiness.
02 Cloud Services
Build secure, cost-optimized infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Design and optimize cloud environments that scale, stay secure, and control costs. Built for resilience and efficiency from day one.

What past clients said after go-live.
From our consulting clients
Nelson did a great job at figuring out numerous things specific to our setup, resolving unforeseen problems as they arose. He provided further guidance and advice on things outside of the original scope as well.
Gregory Sparrow
Lead, Software Engineering
Their understanding and experience with the AWS suite of products and solutions were impressive.
Tony La
CTO
All of our VMs and databases have been deployed without issue. The structured setup has been very robust.
Craig Lathrop
Managing Partner
A project manager was assigned to the project and put in charge of monitoring deliverables and communication. Pilotcore always delivered on time on the items assigned to them and was always responsive to inquiries and requests.

Questions we often hear.
If you're sizing up an engagement, these are the four that come up most often on the first call.
-
How is this different from working with an offshore team?
You know exactly who's working on your systems. No anonymous contractors, no unclear data handling, no wondering who has access to your code. For companies pursuing CMMC or handling sensitive data, that matters. We're a small team you meet directly, operating under Canadian privacy law, with full transparency about who touches your infrastructure.
-
Can't our team just figure this out?
Absolutely, if you have senior security architecture expertise, spare capacity, and experience with your specific compliance framework. Many teams we work with tried the DIY approach first. They came to us when they realized the opportunity cost of pulling engineers off product work, or when their first audit revealed gaps they didn't know to look for. We help compress the learning curve through our specialized experience.
-
We're not ready to commit to a large engagement yet.
Fair. That's why we offer pilot projects, focused 1-4 week engagements that demonstrate our expertise and deliver real value. You see how we work, we assess fit, and then you decide if a larger engagement makes sense. No pressure to commit beyond the pilot.
-
What does a typical engagement cost?
Pilot programs start at $5,000 for a focused 1-2 week engagement. Full implementations vary by scope. A DevSecOps pipeline build differs from a compliance readiness program, and final pricing depends on discovery findings. Book a call and we will scope it together so you get a clear estimate before committing.
