Laravel for enterprise, delivered to procurement standards.

Yes. Laravel runs in production at companies including Pfizer, BBC, Deloitte, Square, MasterCard, and a range of Fortune 500 organisations. The framework supports the core enterprise requirements out of the box: SSO and SAML through Socialite or Sanctum, role based access control through Spatie Permission or Bouncer, audit logging through Activitylog or custom event listeners, GDPR readiness through built in encryption and data export support, and scale through Octane plus Horizon plus Redis. The question is rarely 'can Laravel handle enterprise', it is 'is the vendor delivering the Laravel application capable of meeting enterprise governance requirements'.

Enterprise Laravel engagements typically run $50,000 to $500,000 for fixed scope projects depending on size, integration complexity, and compliance requirements. Long term enterprise team extensions run $50,000 to $200,000 per year per engineer fully loaded (multiple engineers, project management, QA, security review). The cost differential versus startup engagements reflects the additional work that goes into enterprise: dedicated project management, formal change control, security review, compliance documentation, master service agreements, and the engagement team meeting your vendor governance standards. Full breakdown sits on our Laravel development cost page.

Yes. We are ISO 27001 certified covering access control, secret management, audit trails, incident response, and physical security. For SOC 2 engagements we operate within the client's SOC 2 boundary using their controls, evidence collection, and audit trail. We provide vendor security questionnaire responses, data flow diagrams, sub processor lists, and infrastructure documentation that audit teams typically require. We have worked through full SOC 2 Type II audits with multiple clients including a US healthcare client and a UK fintech.

We integrate Laravel applications with all major enterprise identity providers: Okta, Azure AD (Entra ID), Google Workspace, OneLogin, Auth0, and any standards compliant SAML 2.0 or OIDC provider. SSO integration uses Laravel Socialite, Sanctum, or Passport depending on the architecture. SCIM provisioning is supported through custom SCIM endpoints for user lifecycle automation. Just in time user provisioning, role mapping from IdP groups to application RBAC, and session management policies are standard parts of enterprise Laravel engagements.

Yes. Master service agreements (MSAs) with statement of work (SOW) addenda are our standard contracting model for enterprise engagements. We accept client MSAs in most cases, including standard enterprise terms around IP transfer, indemnification, insurance, data handling, audit rights, sub processor approval, and termination. Our legal team has worked through hundreds of enterprise contracts including with large healthcare, fintech, and Fortune 500 clients. Where specific clauses need negotiation, we work with your legal team directly.

Formal change control adapted to your existing process. Most enterprise clients have established change management procedures (CAB approvals, written change requests, scheduled deployment windows, post change validation) and we slot into those rather than imposing our own. For clients without an established process we use a structured change template: written change request, technical review, security review, business approval, deployment plan, rollback plan, post deployment validation. Emergency changes follow a separate fast track process with retrospective approval.

Yes. We provide named reference clients during procurement evaluation, with calls arranged between your procurement team and our existing enterprise clients. References cover delivery quality, change management discipline, security posture, and overall engagement experience. The references are real, contactable, and willing to discuss honest tradeoffs. We can also share anonymised case studies during initial discussions for clients who prefer to evaluate detail before requesting references.

Multiple layers. Mutual NDAs signed before any project discussion. Master service agreements with full IP transfer clauses, indemnification, and audit rights. ISO 27001 certified operational substrate covering access control, secret management, code copy prevention, and audit trail. Background checks on engineering staff. Sub processor approval workflow for any external services. Where the engagement involves regulated data (PHI, PCI, GDPR special category) we operate under additional controls including DPAs, SCCs for international transfers, and data minimisation by design.

Yes. Most enterprise engagements deploy to the client's preferred infrastructure: AWS, Azure, GCP, or on premise data centres. Our engineers work with managed workstations and VPN access into your environment where required. Where the engagement involves regulated workloads (HIPAA eligible AWS, sovereign cloud requirements, air gapped environments) we adapt our access patterns to meet those constraints. The deployment architecture is agreed during discovery before any code is written.

Transition to long term support partnership. Most enterprise clients move from the initial build SOW to a Dedicated Team engagement covering SLA tier maintenance (Bronze, Silver, or Gold tier depending on your operational requirements), ongoing feature development through additional SOW addenda, quarterly architecture review, and the same governance discipline that ran the build. The relationship is structured for years not months because that is what enterprise applications actually need.
