DevSecOps that ships
with safeguards built in

We build security into the way your code ships. Pipelines scan, sign and check every release from commit to production, and infrastructure is defined in code, so it can be reviewed and rebuilt. Your teams keep their release pace.

What's included

What we
build for you

6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.

  • 01

    Secure CI/CD design

    Pipelines shared across teams, with branch rules, approvals and clear steps from test to production.

    • Promotion controls
    • Release gates
  • 02

    Security automation

    Automated scans of your code, open-source dependencies and running apps (SAST, SCA and DAST), with findings sent to the team that can fix them.

    • Risk-based policies
    • Actionable findings
  • 03

    Secrets and identity

    Careful secrets handling, regular rotation, least-privilege access and break-glass controls for emergencies.

    • Rotation and audit
    • Least privilege
  • 04

    Infrastructure as code and GitOps

    Servers and networks defined in code and promoted between environments through Git, with alerts when anything drifts.

    • Drift detection
    • Immutable deploys
  • 05

    Compliance as code

    Automated policy checks and evidence collection, with clear activity records for regulated teams.

    • Evidence trails
    • Policy exceptions
  • 06

    Delivery monitoring

    Pipeline health, deployment insights, security dashboards and alerts.

    • Pipeline SLOs
    • Change risk signals

Our approach

What usually goes wrong,
and what we do instead

  1. The usual way

    Security findings arrive after deployment and force emergency rollbacks.

    How we do it

    Security policies run inside the pipeline, with safe defaults and a logged route for approved exceptions.

  2. The usual way

    Secrets leak, environments drift and nobody trusts what is actually running.

    How we do it

    Infrastructure defined in code and rebuilt rather than patched by hand, with drift detection and repair, plus managed secrets that rotate regularly.

  3. The usual way

    Nobody can say where a build came from or which open-source packages are inside it.

    How we do it

    Every build is scanned, signed and listed in a software bill of materials (SBOM), then verified as it moves between environments.

Architecture

How it's
put together

Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.

  1. Layer 01

    Source and controls

    Branch rules, approvals, secrets checks and policy baselines for every commit and pull request.

    • Pull request rules
    • Secrets
    • Code reviews
  2. Layer 02

    Build and verify

    Repeatable builds, automated scans and signed artifacts, so you know where every release came from.

    • Builds
    • Scans
    • Signing
    • SBOMs
  3. Layer 03

    Policy and deploy

    Policies are enforced automatically before deploy, and releases move between environments and roll out in stages.

    • Admission controls
    • Exception workflow
    • Promotions
    • Safe rollouts
  4. Layer 04

    Signals and evidence

    Security dashboards, pipeline health, activity records and evidence collection for compliance.

    • Pipeline SLOs
    • Risk dashboards
    • Audit logs

How we deliver

From first review
to live in production

4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.

  1. Step 1: Baseline audit

    Assess how code moves to production today, where the biggest risks and control gaps are, and which fixes can be automated first.

    Output: DevSecOps feasibility blueprint

  2. Step 2: Secure pipeline build

    Set up CI/CD, scanning, signing, secrets handling and safe promotion between environments.

    Output: Secure delivery pipeline

  3. Step 3: Policy and compliance automation

    Add automated policy checks, evidence collection, exception workflows and clear activity records.

    Output: Safeguards and evidence system

  4. Step 4: Observe, optimise and scale

    Put security dashboards and pipeline targets into daily use, and keep tuning as more teams join.

    Output: Fast releases with controls in place

Trust and control

Safe by design,
not by policy alone

  • Automated policy checks

    Standards are enforced automatically, and every exception is logged.

  • Secrets and least privilege

    Each person and service gets only the access it needs, secrets rotate regularly and every use is traceable.

  • Evidence and activity records

    Infrastructure changes are versioned, releases are traceable and audit evidence is captured automatically.

  • Risk signals

    Pipeline and security insights show where risk is building before it reaches production.

You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.

    Fund manager access: Zero-trust controls in place of a broad VPN

    We replaced a fund manager's broad VPN access with zero-trust controls that check the user, device and location, and grant privileged access only when it is needed. They cover 100% of identities and cut lateral-movement risk by 99%.

    Hotel network security: Suspicious devices isolated automatically

    We built AI network security for a global resort chain. It learns how devices normally behave on guest Wi-Fi and isolates suspicious ones automatically. It neutralised 99.9% of threats and detected them 2.5x faster.

    Core banking migration: From mainframe to AWS with zero downtime

    We moved a global core banking system from an ageing mainframe to AWS one function at a time, keeping both ledgers in sync throughout. Operating costs fell 60%, releases became 5x faster, and there was zero service downtime.

A DevSecOps engagement covers four areas: a secure CI/CD pipeline with automated scans and signing, managed secrets and least-privilege access, infrastructure as code with drift detection, and automated policy checks that collect audit evidence. We start with a baseline audit of how your code reaches production to find the quickest wins.
