# Cloud Syndicate

> Senior cloud engineering and consulting — AI, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, application development, and managed services for organizations that need work done right, by the people who scope the engagement, write the code, and sign the deploy.

Cloud Syndicate is a senior-led cloud engineering and consulting firm. The senior engineer who scopes an engagement writes the code and signs the deploy — no offshore handoff, no junior bench. EverForge is Cloud Syndicate's managed-services arm; EverForge Consensus is its specialized sub-offering for institutional XRP Ledger infrastructure on Google Cloud, operated under SLOs. EverForge is AI-first and compliance-first: HIPAA, SOC 1, SOC 2, and PCI DSS aligned, and architected to the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. EverForge is not FedRAMP-authorized.
