Cloud, AI and web engineering

Systems that make your customers say wow

We design and build secure AI, cloud and web solutions that turn messy operations into crisp digital products, faster workflows and dependable platforms.

Secure engineering services

From first discovery to production support, we build practical systems that feel smooth to customers and sane for the teams who run them.

Analytics & Business Intelligence

We turn scattered operational data into dashboards, pipelines and decision support that are clear enough for both leaders and delivery teams.

Digital Transformation Consulting

We help organisations decide where cloud, AI and automation create real value, then shape the technical roadmap around delivery risk and long-term ownership.

Product Discovery & Rapid Prototyping

We turn early ideas into clickable prototypes, technical spikes and delivery plans so teams can test value before committing to a full build.

Managed Operations & Support

We keep production systems healthy with monitoring, incident response, performance tuning, release support and clear improvement roadmaps.

Solutions that move the needle

We focus on the moments where technology changes the experience: shorter waits, fewer manual steps, clearer decisions and systems that stay calm under pressure.

Launch smarter digital products

From polished web apps to internal platforms, we turn vague operational needs into fast, reliable products people actually want to use.

Automate the work nobody misses

We connect systems, data and AI so repetitive handoffs become dependable workflows instead of inbox archaeology.

Make AI useful in production

We move AI from impressive demos to governed tools with access control, observability, retrieval, evaluation and human review where it matters.

Turn cloud complexity into leverage

We simplify infrastructure, deployment and monitoring so your team can ship confidently without becoming a full-time platform team.

About Chaplau

Chaplau is a Dublin-based engineering studio becoming a member-owned developer cooperative. The point is simple: keep expert builders close to the work, aligned with client outcomes and accountable for systems after launch.

Continuity over churn

The cooperative transition is designed to keep experienced engineers close to the work, the client context and the long-term consequences of technical choices.

Accountability by design

Shared ownership means the people building and operating systems have a direct stake in quality, maintainability and client trust.

No pressure to overpromise

The model we are building toward favours sustainable margins, reusable tooling and careful delivery over investor-led growth at any cost.

Security-minded stewardship

Data protection, AI governance and operational resilience become part of the ownership culture, not an afterthought bolted onto delivery.

How we deliver the wow

Great delivery is not magic. It is clear ownership, fast feedback, careful architecture and the discipline to make the invisible parts of software feel effortless.

Named accountability

Every project should have a clear delivery owner, escalation path and acceptance process.

Reusable foundations

Where possible, we turn repeat work into documented templates, deployment modules and operational playbooks.

Client-owned outcomes

Client-specific deliverables, data handling and IP boundaries should be explicit before build work begins.

Measured operations

Observability, audit logs, service levels and incident learning are treated as part of the product, not separate paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of outcomes can Chaplau help us create?
We help teams launch digital products, automate manual workflows, connect fragmented systems, deploy practical AI, improve cloud operations and strengthen security without turning the project into a science experiment.

AI, MCP and security systems

We build AI-enabled systems with the controls they need in production: private deployment options, governed agent tooling, observable integrations and security posture work.

MCP servers and agent tooling

Custom Model Context Protocol servers that expose internal tools, prompts and data resources through governed, observable interfaces.

Private and local LLM deployment

On-premise or private-cloud model hosting for teams that need data sovereignty, reduced API dependency and auditable inference paths.

AI-specific security controls

Prompt-injection defences, access controls, output filtering, immutable audit logs and risk reviews for AI-enabled systems.

Compliance-aware delivery

Security posture improvement, evidence collection and policy alignment for teams working toward GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2 or NIST CSF expectations.

On-Premise & Local LLM Deployment

Keep your data sovereign. We deploy open-weight models on your own hardware or private cloud — no third-party API keys, no data leaving your perimeter.

Private Model Hosting

Deploy Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen, Phi and other open-weight models entirely on your own infrastructure. Zero data egress, full IP sovereignty.

Hardware-Optimised Inference

GPU cluster management, quantisation (GGUF, AWQ, GPTQ), dynamic batching and speculative decoding — maximum throughput at minimum cost.

Fine-Tuning & RAG Pipelines

Domain-specific LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines to give your models proprietary knowledge and consistent brand voice.

Air-Gapped Environments

Fully offline deployments for regulated industries — finance, healthcare, defence — with zero external network dependencies and complete audit trails.

Security Posture Improvement

From threat modelling to penetration testing, we harden your cloud and AI systems against real-world attacks — and accelerate ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR compliance.

Threat Modelling & Risk Assessment

STRIDE/DREAD analysis across your cloud infrastructure and AI workloads, producing a prioritised risk register and a clear, actionable remediation roadmap.

AI-Specific Security Controls

Prompt injection defences, model access controls, output content filtering and immutable audit logging — purpose-built for AI-powered applications.

Compliance Acceleration

Automated evidence collection and policy alignment for ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and NIST CSF — cutting months from your certification timeline.

Penetration Testing & Red-Teaming

Ethical red-team exercises against your infrastructure, APIs and AI endpoints to find and fix exploitable weaknesses before real attackers do.
