FAQs

What is an offshore dedicated team?

A full-time DevOps, cloud engineering, or AI engineering pod employed for your roadmap, not a rotating bench. Engineers sit in Vietnam. Delivery leadership is in Australia.

How fast can we deploy a team?

Most teams start within 14 days of signing — including intake, shortlisting, onboarding, and first code delivery. Compared to local hiring cycles that take 8–12 weeks, it's fast, predictable, and managed from Australia.

Where are the teams based?

Vietnam (Da Nang/HCMC). Management, reporting, and SLAs are led by Australia-based leadership.

How is IP and security handled?

Device policies, SSO, code host protections, signed IP assignment, and delivery from secure environments. We align to SOC2/ISO-style controls.

Security & Compliance

SSO, least-privilege, MDM, signed IP assignment, private runners, per-env secrets, change-fail % tracked.

Access Controls

SSO integration, least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication

Device Management

Mobile device management (MDM), secure workstations, encrypted storage

IP Protection

Signed IP assignment agreements, private code runners, secure development environments

Enterprise Standards: Our security framework follows SOC2 and ISO 27001 best practices, with processes developed from experience delivering in compliant environments. Learn more about our security approach.

Leadership: Founded by Keith Vaughan, co-founder of Tech Ops Asia (Vietnam) and Cipher Projects (Australia), with deep experience in enterprise cloud consulting and secure offshore team management.
