Who we are

Custos Cloud is a founder-led cloud security practice for the Benelux. We take startups and scale-ups from where their security is today to a baseline they can stand behind, and stay alongside as it matures.

We work close to your engineers, on the cloud risks and trade-offs that matter as you grow.

The experience behind it

Custos Cloud is led by Liran Aknin. He has spent his career securing IT and cloud systems from inside engineering teams: running security operations, hardening AWS, Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, and responding to incidents as they happen. That work has included carrying platforms through ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance.

He holds security certifications across the platforms we work on. The advice itself comes from years in production, where a wrong call has a price.

Our mission

Cloud security is never finished. Your environment changes as you grow, and the risks change with it. Our mission is to keep your security maturing at the same pace. We turn complex risks into improvements your team can own.

We would rather make you ready than be called in after. The guidance follows how your team actually ships and holds up as you scale.

Our values

The standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

Client first

We start from what your business cannot afford to lose, and rank what we find by it.

Collaboration

Security built with your engineers lasts longer than security handed over in a report.

Transparency

Straight answers. You see what we found and why it matters, including the things that are awkward to say.

Curiosity

We keep digging. The risks that hurt are rarely the obvious ones.

Resilience

We build security that survives growth, team changes and the next platform shift.
