Where we work

Sectors where "it’s probably fine" is not an answer.

STP's portfolio is concentrated in organisations that are regulated, audited, or losing money by the minute when something stops. Each sector below has a different pressure on its infrastructure, and the design should reflect that rather than ignore it.

Banks & financial institutions

Regulatory scrutiny is continuous rather than annual, and the burden of proof sits with you. A sound infrastructure decision is not enough on its own; it also has to be defensible in writing.

For banks, universal credit organisations and other financial institutions, STP builds and operates infrastructure that has to satisfy a regulator as well as a business: private cloud with demonstrable data residency, segmented networks, tested disaster recovery and the audit evidence to prove all three.

What this sector worries about

Data residency and control over where customer data is processed
Segmentation between card, core banking and corporate environments
Evidence that disaster recovery has been tested, not just documented
Access review and change records that survive an audit sample
High availability with a defined and measured RTO per system
Vendor concentration risk and the ability to exit a platform

Licensed betting & international e-commerce

Uptime is revenue, measured by the minute. At the same time licensing regimes impose technical and record-keeping obligations that most infrastructure is not built to evidence.

For licensed betting operators and international e-commerce businesses, STP delivers high-availability infrastructure built for platforms where downtime is immediate lost revenue and where a licensing authority can audit the technical estate at short notice.

What this sector worries about

Availability under sharp, event-driven traffic peaks
Platform resilience without over-provisioning for the peak year-round
Technical evidence for licensing and regulatory audit
Data residency where licence conditions specify it
Secure development lifecycle for in-house platform teams
DDoS resilience and edge protection

Healthcare

Patient data carries the strictest confidentiality expectations, and clinical systems cannot simply be taken down for a maintenance window.

For healthcare providers, STP builds infrastructure around patient-data confidentiality and clinical availability: HIPAA-aligned controls, network segmentation for clinical systems and medical devices, and recovery objectives set against clinical rather than commercial impact.

What this sector worries about

HIPAA-aligned technical controls and audit evidence
Segmentation of clinical systems and unpatched medical devices
Recovery objectives set against clinical impact
Access control and audit logging over patient records
Reliable wireless coverage across clinical areas
Secure remote access for clinicians

Media holdings

File sizes and bitrates rise every year, and a network designed for last year's formats becomes the bottleneck in the editorial process.

For media holdings, STP builds the high-throughput infrastructure that production work depends on: storage and network capacity sized for large media files, resilient broadcast-adjacent systems, and cabling designed for bandwidth that keeps increasing.

What this sector worries about

Sustained throughput for editing and transfer of large media files
Storage capacity, tiering and archive strategy
Cabling and fibre specified for future bandwidth, not current
Resilience for time-critical publishing and broadcast systems
Content security and controlled external collaboration

Manufacturing

Production equipment often runs software that cannot be patched or replaced, sitting on the same network as everything else. A single flat network turns one compromised laptop into a stopped line.

For manufacturers, STP separates and protects operational technology from corporate IT: segmented networks, industrial environment cabling, and recovery planning that accounts for production lines rather than only office systems.

What this sector worries about

Segmentation between operational technology and corporate IT
Protecting equipment that cannot be patched
Cabling and enclosures rated for industrial conditions
Recovery planning that includes production systems
Reliable coverage across plant floors and warehousing
Remote vendor access without opening the whole network

Hospitality

Guest experience is judged partly on the wireless, while the same building also runs payment, property management and physical security systems that must never share a network with guests.

For hotels and hospitality groups, STP delivers guest-facing and operational infrastructure as one scope: guest wireless separated from operations, surveillance and access control, IP telephony and property-wide cabling.

What this sector worries about

Guest wireless quality and coverage across the whole property
Strict separation of guest, payment and operational networks
Surveillance and access control across a large physical footprint
IP telephony for rooms and operations
Cabling through occupied buildings with minimal disruption
Support hours that match a business that never closes
