DevSecOps Integration

Security built in. Not bolted on.

Security scanning, secrets management, and compliance checks built into every pipeline stage. We shift security left so vulnerabilities are caught at code review, not in production.

What Is Included

Security at every stage. Automated and enforced.

Comprehensive security controls integrated into your CI/CD pipeline covering code, containers, infrastructure, and secrets.

SAST and DAST Scanning

Static and dynamic application security testing integrated into every pipeline. Code scanned for vulnerabilities before merge. Dynamic scans run against deployed environments automatically.

SASTDASTVulnerability Scanning

Container Image Scanning

Every container image scanned with Trivy or Snyk before deployment. Critical and high vulnerabilities block the pipeline. Base image update recommendations provided automatically.

Secrets Management

HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault integrated into pipelines. Hardcoded secrets detected and blocked. Secrets rotated automatically on schedule.

Compliance as Code

Compliance controls encoded as policy checks in the pipeline. CIS benchmarks, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 controls validated automatically. Compliance reports generated on every deployment.

Dependency Scanning

Third-party library vulnerabilities detected using Dependabot, Renovate, or Snyk. Automated pull requests raised for vulnerable dependencies. Licence compliance checked on every build.

Infrastructure Security Scanning

IaC scanned with Checkov, tfsec, or Terrascan before apply. Misconfigured resources blocked before they reach any environment. Security findings tracked and remediated systematically.

How We Work

From insecure pipelines to DevSecOps in six steps.

A structured approach to embedding security into your development workflow without slowing your team down.

01

Security Posture Review

Assessment of your current pipeline security controls. Gaps identified across code, containers, infrastructure, and secrets management. Risk-prioritised remediation plan produced.

02

Tool Selection

Security toolchain selected based on your stack, compliance requirements, and existing investments. Open-source and commercial options evaluated and recommended.

03

Pipeline Integration

Security scanning tools integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines. Scan stages added without breaking existing workflows. Failure thresholds configured to balance security and velocity.

04

Secrets Remediation

Existing hardcoded secrets identified and removed. Secrets management platform deployed. All pipelines migrated to use dynamic secret injection.

05

Policy Enforcement

Compliance policies encoded and enforced in the pipeline. Guardrails configured to prevent non-compliant resources from being deployed. Policy exceptions documented and approved.

06

Ongoing Management

Security tool updates managed. New vulnerability signatures applied automatically. Monthly security pipeline review. Findings tracked and remediated within agreed SLAs.

Real Results

DevSecOps delivered for UK businesses.

FinTech Company, London

A FinTech company was failing security audits because their development team had no security controls in their pipeline. Secrets were hardcoded in repositories and container images were never scanned.

Full DevSecOps pipeline implemented. 47 hardcoded secrets removed and migrated to Vault. Container scanning blocking 3 critical vulnerabilities per week. Security audit passed on next review.

Healthcare SaaS, Bristol

A healthcare SaaS provider needed to demonstrate to NHS procurement that their development process met Cyber Essentials Plus requirements, including evidence of vulnerability management in their SDLC.

SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning integrated into GitHub Actions. Compliance reports generated automatically on every release. NHS procurement requirement satisfied. Contract awarded.

Legal Technology Firm, Manchester

A legal technology company had a third-party penetration test that identified 12 high-severity vulnerabilities in their application, all of which could have been caught earlier in the development process.

SAST and DAST scanning implemented. All 12 vulnerability classes now detected at code review stage. Time to remediate vulnerabilities reduced from weeks to hours. Next pen test found zero high-severity issues.
