Shift left without slowing down

DevSecOps Programs

SDLC integration aligned to OWASP SAMM, NIST SSDF, and BSIMM. Security controls that developers actually adopt because they don't get in the way.

Deliverables

What you take home.

  • Integrated SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST across CI/CD
  • Security champions program and developer enablement
  • Threat modeling embedded into design review
  • Outcome metrics that measure risk reduction, not activity
Approach

How we work.

Stage
Assess maturity

Benchmark your current SDLC against OWASP SAMM and BSIMM. Understand where you are, where the peer group is, and where to move first.

Stage
Instrument pipelines

SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST gates configurable per workload risk tier. Signal reaches developers in the pull request, with actionable context.

Stage
Enable developers

Security champions programme, threat modelling embedded into design review, and paved-road templates that are faster than the wilderness.

Stage
Measure outcomes

Metrics that track risk reduction, MTTD, and change failure rate — not scanner counts or dashboards nobody reads.

Outcomes

Value at every seat.

A serious engagement earns its keep across engineering, the business, and the finance line at the same time.

For Engineering

Security signal reaches developers in the pull request, with actionable context and low false-positive rates.

For Business

Release cadence stays high; security-driven rollbacks and last-minute launch blocks fall away.

For Finance

Cost of a vulnerability caught at commit is orders of magnitude below one caught in production, or worse, by a customer.

Common engagements

Where this shows up.

Pipeline shift-left

Introduce security signal at commit and pull-request time without slowing the merge pipeline down.

Security champions programme

Build a distributed security capability inside product teams so security scales without headcount.

SDLC modernisation

Align the whole software delivery lifecycle to NIST SSDF and OWASP SAMM, with measurable maturity uplift.

Developer platform hardening

Bring paved roads, self-service, and default-safe templates to the platform tier so security is a free upgrade for product teams.

Standards touched

The vocabulary of this practice.

The frameworks and standards this engagement anchors in — the same ones your assessors, auditors, and enterprise buyers already know.

  • OWASP SAMM
  • OWASP ASVS
  • NIST SSDF
  • BSIMM
  • MITRE ATT&CK
Related practices

Often paired with.

SLSA-aligned, provenance-signed

Supply-chain & Container Governance

Container lifecycle governance from build to deprecation. SBOMs, signed provenance, registry policy, and an SLSA level uplift path that regulators can follow.

eBPF-based observability meets policy

Platform & Runtime Security

Kubernetes hardened to NSA/CISA guidance. eBPF-based runtime detection, admission-time policy enforcement, and identity-aware network segmentation across every workload.
