DevSecOps & Secure CI/CD
Design, integration and operation of SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets and IaC scanning in CI/CD, with risk-based quality gates, false-positive tuning and validation of coverage.
DevSecOps makes security checks part of routine development rather than a separate annual activity. We define where checks should run, what should block a merge or deployment, how exceptions are approved and how results reach the responsible developer.
The toolchain can include SAST, software-composition analysis, secret scanning across repository history, DAST against running test environments and IaC scanning for Terraform, Kubernetes and cloud configuration. Policy-as-code gates are tuned to the organisation’s risk tolerance and validated with representative test cases.
The result is an auditable secure-development process that developers can operate in practice. We can establish the programme, transfer it to the internal team or provide ongoing operation and tuning.
- Earlier feedback
- cheapest place to fix is the keyboard, not the report
- Automated gates
- gates that block, not emails nobody reads
How it works
-
01
Assessment & toolchain design
Review pipelines, technology stack and risk; design the SAST, DAST, SCA, secret-scanning and IaC toolchain and gate strategy.
-
02
Integration & gates
Integrate scanners into CI/CD, define severity-based policy gates and return actionable feedback in pull requests.
-
03
Tuning & validation
Cut false positives and adversarially verify the gates catch the bug classes that matter.
-
04
Enablement & handover
Developer walkthroughs, secure-coding guidance and runbooks so the team owns the program.
-
05
Ongoing operation
Continuous tuning, new use cases and fix validation as the codebase and threats evolve (optional).

Supported by our own threat-intelligence platform
We bring our threat intelligence into the pipeline to help tune gates to vulnerabilities relevant to the organisation’s assets and current threat activity.
- OffSeq Threat Radar , opens in a new tabExplore
Live vulnerability intelligence prioritises the CVEs your pipeline must block now, not the entire backlog.
- threat-finder , opens in a new tabExplore
Our open-source runtime scanner verifies which CVEs are live in deployed services, ranked by network exposure.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from your Secure Code Review service?
A secure-code review is a point-in-time manual analysis of a defined codebase, often before a major release or architectural change. DevSecOps is an ongoing operating model: security checks and decision gates are integrated into the development and deployment workflow. Many organisations use a manual review to identify deeper issues, then automate repeatable checks to reduce recurrence.
Which tools do you use, and do we have to replace ours?
We can integrate with existing SAST, DAST, SCA, secret-scanning and Infrastructure-as-Code tools across platforms such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps and Jenkins. Tool changes are recommended only where a documented coverage, usability or lifecycle gap justifies them.
Won’t adding security gates slow our developers down?
Poorly configured security tooling can create excessive false positives and slow delivery. We tune rules, define risk-based gates and return feedback in the pull request or developer workflow, where it can be addressed early. The objective is to block genuinely unacceptable risk while keeping low-confidence or informational results out of the critical path.
How do you prove the gates actually work?
We validate the implementation with controlled test cases representing the vulnerability classes the pipeline is expected to detect. We confirm that unsafe changes are blocked or flagged as designed, corrected changes pass, and coverage and known limitations are documented.
Does this help with NIS2 or the EU Cyber Resilience Act?
Yes. A documented secure-development lifecycle, vulnerability handling and proportionate automated controls can support evidence for NIS2 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act where those rules apply. The exact obligation depends on the organisation, product and jurisdiction; the programme provides traceable records but does not by itself prove full compliance.
