DevSecOps Reviews
Helping you entrench mature security controls throughout your organisation-wide approach to software development.
What is DevOps and DevSecOps?
DevSecOps
DevSecOps is the added dimension of security that would be applied to your DevOps activities.
DevOps
DevOps is an approach and mindset to productionising applications in a nimble, fluid and efficient manner.
What does a DevSecOps review involve?
Dissecting your current approach to developing, releasing, managing and evolving your software solutions.
We then help you implement absent or impoverished security defences to elevate your position to best protect your software, hosting infrastructure and data.​
We focus on technical, governance and cultural security defences.
Identifying intricate relationships, roles and stakeholders within your organisation, and factors which impede on a cohesive company-wide approach to providing secure software.
Gaining deep-insight into relevant software security controls, including those which are unique to your organisation, and strategising an approach to implementing weak or absent controls.
Understanding the intricacies of your developers and engineers' development environments, and implementing relevant security tooling to enhance the security of the code they contribute.
Leveraging automated security solutions in your development pipelines in-line with the shift-left notion of DevSecOps to reduce the likelihood of insecure code reaching your production environment.
Adding mature governance throughout your organisation, with a focus on building relevant guardrails, guidance and reviews, on actions performed by key stakeholders in the software process.
Developing your ability to detect, prevent and respond to cyber attacks against your software, including covering wider security appliances in place in your on-premises and cloud environment.
Helping you improve and evolve your DevSecOps capability, whilst in tandem increasing the agility of your software production process - all whilst maintaining the security characteristic.
Ensuring your CI/CD pipelines are built to perform appropriate checks to identify, detect and prevent malicious code from reaching your production environment and users.
What are the advantages of DevSecOps Reviews
Penetration tests, bug bounty programmes and vulnerability disclosure programmes can often reveal repeated vulnerabilities surfacing within an application. This is a result of the root cause of the vulnerability not being addressed in full.
DevSecOps will help overcome this challenge.
A mature and enduring DevSecOps capability will likely reduce the volume and severity of security vulnerabilities introduced to an application over time.
Minimising repetitive vulnerabilities from surfacing in your application
By evidencing a mature DevSecOps capability, you may deem your application cyber risk profile to be low enough that initiatives such as third-party penetration tests and source code reviews can be commissioned less frequently.
Reducing cyber threat profile of the application
Cost reduction as a result of heightened efficiency
Increasing general security awareness against cyber attacks
The cultural shift which DevSecOps brings will align your BAU practices with industry good security practices. This will naturally raise the average employee overall awareness to a substantially higher standing, reducing susceptibility to wider attacks such as as social engineering.
