Cybersecurity
DevSecOps
Security checks that run in the pipeline are only useful if developers believe them. We choose a small number of checks, tune them to your code and wire the results into the places engineers already work.
The problem this service solves
Teams add scanners and quickly drown in findings. Developers learn to ignore the red build or bypass it. Meanwhile the pipeline itself holds powerful credentials, runs untrusted code from pull requests and signs nothing.
We approach it in two parts: make the code and dependencies safer through checks developers accept, and make the pipeline hard to abuse as a path to production.
What is in scope
-
Source code scanning
SAST selection, tuning rules to your languages and frameworks, and triage workflow.
-
Dependencies and SBOM
Software composition analysis, license checks, SBOM generation and vulnerability matching.
-
Secrets
Pre-commit and pipeline scanning, history cleanup, rotation process.
-
Infrastructure as code
Policy checks for Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep and Kubernetes manifests.
-
Containers
Image scanning, minimal base images, signing and admission control.
-
Pipeline hardening
Least-privilege runner credentials, protected branches, OIDC in place of long-lived keys, pinned actions, isolation of untrusted builds.
-
Developer experience
Results in pull requests, severity thresholds, exception workflow and metrics.
How the work runs

Enforce
Turn on blocking for the few checks that deserve it.
Scale
Make it routine.
-
6
Templates

Tooling and technique
Tool categories describe how we work. They are not a claim of vendor partnership or certification.
Standards we map to
Mapping findings to a framework is not the same as certification against it.
Before we start
What we need from you
- Access to repositories and pipeline configuration
- A pilot team willing to adjust their workflow
- Current tool inventory
What this service is not
- Penetration testing of the application
- A tool purchase decision made for you
What changes afterwards
- Developers see few, relevant findings in pull requests
- Secrets and vulnerable dependencies are caught early
- The pipeline cannot be used as a stepping stone
Questions people ask
Will this slow our builds?
Some checks do. We run heavy scans on a schedule or on merge, and keep pull request checks fast.
What does the OWASP Top 10:2025 say about supply chain?
The 2025 list added Software Supply Chain Failures as its own category (A03), covering compromised dependencies, build systems and distribution.
