Two lenses. What we operate in. Who we work with.

Technical domains
The domains where Sixteen Pillars provides technical leadership, architecture, and governance. Each has its own page with the detailed position.
Governance The policies, accountabilities, and operating structures that determine how technical decisions are made and sustained. Not documentation — a functioning framework.
Architecture How systems are designed, structured, and connected. From data model to integration layer to platform design. Built to hold at scale, not just at current state.
Data Data as a governed asset. Data models, data governance frameworks, data quality, and the infrastructure that makes data reliable and useful.
Security Security as a design property, not a layer added at the end. Access controls, infrastructure security, and the governance that keeps security posture operational.
Compliance Technical compliance for regulated industries. GDPR, DORA, MiCA, CySEC, and the architectural requirements that regulatory frameworks impose.
Standards The technical standards that determine whether systems are maintainable, extensible, and governable. Coding standards, API standards, accessibility standards — applied consistently.
People Teams, capability, and culture. How technical functions are structured, how knowledge is distributed, and how the people who build and operate systems are developed.
Sectors
The industries where Sixteen Pillars operates. Each has specific technical requirements, regulatory contexts, and organisational characteristics that shape how the work is done.
Financial Services Investment firms, payment institutions, fintech operators, and regulated financial service providers. Technical compliance with DORA, MiCA, GDPR, and sector-specific frameworks.
Shipping & Maritime Ship management, shipowners, maritime service operators, and the technology ecosystem that supports them. Crew management, voyage systems, regulatory reporting, and operational continuity.
Legal Law firms and legal service providers digitalising their operations. Client data governance, practice management systems, legal technology architecture, and professional regulatory compliance.
Healthcare & Medical Private clinics, specialist practices, and medical tourism businesses. Health data governance, patient management systems, compliance with health data regulations, and operational continuity.
