DevSecOps Enablement

Build security controls into your delivery pipeline so they run on every commit and stop being a release-gate argument.

What you receive

  • Pipeline security gates with agreed break criteria
  • Dependency and container scanning
  • Secrets detection and rotation workflow
  • Engineering team enablement

When you need this

Three situations that call for it. If none of them is yours, it probably is not the right spend.

  • 01

    Security is the last gate before release

    When the check runs after the code is written, the only moves left are ship anyway or slip the date, so it becomes a negotiation with whoever argues hardest. Controls that run on the commit turn that argument into a build result instead.

  • 02

    A secret was committed and rotated late

    Deleting a key from a repository does not un-leak it, and rewriting history does not either. The part worth building is the rotation path — what issued the credential, who can revoke it, what breaks when it dies — settled before the next leak.

  • 03

    Customers have started asking for an SBOM

    A component list assembled by hand is out of date at the next merge. Generating it in the build buys one thing you cannot otherwise get: the ability to answer whether a new CVE affects you by querying, rather than by asking every team.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a sales development rep. We establish what you actually need and tell you plainly if it is not us.

  2. 02

    Written proposal

    Fixed scope, fixed price, named delivery team, and the rules of engagement in writing before anyone touches a system.

  3. 03

    Delivery

    Weekly written status and a direct channel to the delivery lead. Critical findings are escalated the moment they are confirmed, never held back for the report.

  4. 04

    Readout and retest

    A working session with your team, an executive summary for your board, and a remediation retest included in the original scope rather than quoted separately.

No lock-in

Scoping costs nothing and carries no obligation. If the answer is that you do not need this, that is a legitimate outcome of the call.

Who turns up

The engineer on your scoping call is on the delivery team. We do not hand you to a different group after signature.

Scope

What this does not cover

  • We build and hand over the pipeline controls. We do not run your builds or hold credentials to your release process afterwards.

  • Design and business-logic flaws are not caught by pipeline gates — that testing sits under Application Security.

  • Tool licences remain yours. We integrate and tune what you already own or choose, and do not require a particular vendor in the stack.

Measured against

EU Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation 2024/2847)
Manufacturers placing products with digital elements on the EU market must produce a machine-readable SBOM covering at least the top-level dependencies, operate a coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy, and supply security updates.
NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF)
Groups secure development into prepare, protect, produce and respond practices, each expecting evidence rather than intent.
SLSA v1.0
Defines build levels by the provenance an artefact carries — what source it came from and which build platform produced it.

If the scope is wrong

Tell us on the call. Re-scoping before we start costs nothing; discovering it at the readout costs you the engagement.

Questions

The ones we are actually asked.

What happens when a gate blocks a release the business needs?

It gets overridden — every organisation does this. What matters is that the override is a recorded decision with a named owner and an expiry date, rather than a gate quietly switched off at two in the morning and never restored.

Will this slow our builds down?

Yes. Every check costs seconds or minutes, and pretending otherwise is how gates end up disabled. The usual settlement is to split them: cheap checks on every commit, expensive scans on merge or overnight, with break criteria agreed for each.

Do we need to hire a dedicated security engineer for this?

Not immediately, but the configuration decays if it belongs to nobody. The enablement work aims to leave the controls owned by whoever already owns the pipeline, usually a platform engineer with this added to the job rather than a new hire.

Next step

See what an attacker sees

We map your external attack surface the way an adversary does — exposed assets, leaked credentials, impersonation domains. No agent, no access, no cost.

30 min

A scoping call, with an engineer rather than a sales rep.

What it costs

Nothing, and there is no sequence afterwards. If we are not the right fit we will say so and suggest who is.

Under attack now?

Do not use this form. The hotline is answered around the clock and reaches a duty analyst directly.
