What is Cloud Gateway?

-

Cloud Gateway is a UK-based technology company that delivers secure connectivity, unified security, and complete observability through a single SASE-as-a-Service platform. Founded in 2017, Cloud Gateway helps organisations across healthcare, public sector, and enterprise simplify complex network infrastructure while meeting strict compliance requirements.

Unlike generic "cloud gateway" products or hardware categories, Cloud Gateway is a specific company and platform designed to replace fragmented legacy networking with one unified solution. The platform connects users, sites, clouds, and data centres while providing built-in security and real-time visibility, all through UK-based infrastructure.

Cloud Gateway is the only UK provider offering secure access to both the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) and Public Services Network (PSN), making it a trusted partner for NHS Trusts, local councils, central government departments, and private sector organisations that need compliant, sovereign connectivity.

What does Cloud Gateway do?

Cloud Gateway's platform organises its capabilities into three core pillars: Connect, Protect, and Observe.

Connect encompasses the products that get organisations connected to clouds, data centres, users, and sites. This includes Business Connect for high-performance connectivity to public cloud platforms, HSCN, PSN, and business-grade internet. Business Everywhere provides WAN connectivity, data centre interconnect, SD-WAN, and remote access for users connecting from anywhere.

Protect delivers unified security through the Secure Access suite. This includes Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for private applications, Secure Web Gateway for internet traffic, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) for SaaS visibility, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Managed Firewall services. All security capabilities are powered by Cloud Gateway's SSE Core, which provides inspection, policy enforcement, and identity-aware protection.

Observe provides complete visibility across the connected estate through centralised logging, real-time dashboards, alerting, and compliance reporting. Customers can download log data, run audit reports, and integrate telemetry with their existing SIEM or SOC.

How is Cloud Gateway different from generic cloud gateways?

The term "cloud gateway" is often used generically to describe any device or service that connects on-premises infrastructure to cloud environments. Cloud Gateway the company is distinctly different.

Cloud Gateway is a complete SASE-as-a-Service platform, not a single-function appliance or connector. Where generic cloud gateway products typically handle one aspect of connectivity, Cloud Gateway unifies networking, security, and observability into a single platform with a unified control plane.

Cloud Gateway operates entirely from UK-based infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty and regulatory compliance for organisations that cannot route traffic through overseas data centres. The platform holds HSCN CN-SP accreditation, PSN compliance certification, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and PCI DSS certifications.

Cloud Gateway also provides a flexible operating model. Organisations can choose fully managed support where Cloud Gateway handles everything, or a co-managed model where internal teams retain control with expert backing. This is delivered by a 24x7 UK-based Network Operations Centre staffed by engineers who know customers by name, not scripts.

Who uses Cloud Gateway?

Cloud Gateway serves organisations across the UK that need secure, compliant, and flexible networking solutions.

Public sector: Local councils, central government departments, ministerial and non-ministerial bodies, police forces, and agencies use Cloud Gateway for PSN connectivity, secure inter-site networking, and audit-ready compliance.

Finance: Insurance companies, wealth management firms, and asset management organisations use Cloud Gateway for secure connectivity that meets FCA requirements and protects sensitive financial data.

The company behind the platform

Why choose Cloud Gateway?

Organisations choose Cloud Gateway because the platform eliminates the complexity that comes with managing multiple vendors, dashboards, and integration projects. Instead of separate tools for connectivity, security, and monitoring, Cloud Gateway provides everything through one platform, one contract, and one support relationship.

Deployment happens in days rather than months. Most customers are live within two weeks, compared to the lengthy procurement and implementation cycles typical of traditional telcos and managed service providers.

Contracts flex with business needs. Cloud Gateway offers OPEX-centric pricing with no lock-ins and no penalties for scaling up or down. This is particularly valuable for public sector organisations working within constrained budgets and procurement frameworks.

Everything runs within UK borders. For organisations handling sensitive data or operating under sovereignty requirements, Cloud Gateway's UK-based infrastructure ensures compliance without compromise.

Support comes from experts who understand the network. Cloud Gateway's UK-based engineers make it their business to know each customer and their specific environment. When issues arise, customers speak directly with people who can help, not offshore call centres reading from scripts.
