DevSecOps Foundation. Practice What You Preach.
Security vendors face a credibility problem when their own development pipelines have the same vulnerabilities they sell protection against. We fix that from day one with DevSecOps pipelines, supply chain attestation, and zero-trust build environments.
- Complete security product audit covering CI/CD maturity, supply chain risks, and vulnerability response times to identify the gaps in your own product security posture. 15 plus security blind spots identified. Roadmap to zero-trust DevOps.

- Container image hardening with minimal base images and runtime security enforcement to reduce attack surface and prevent container breakout attempts in production environments. Attack surface minimised. Runtime protection blocks container breakout attempts.
- Code signing and artifact verification with Sigstore for tamper-proof release packages, giving customers a cryptographic way to verify the authenticity of every product they install. Cryptographic authenticity for every release. Supply chain attacks on your product prevented.
- Vulnerability disclosure and patching automation with defined SLAs for critical CVEs delivering sub-24-hour patches and automated customer notification workflows on every fix. Sub-24-hour patches for critical CVEs. Customer notifications automated.
- Security incident response playbooks integrated into CI/CD with automated rollback so compromised builds are detected instantly and systems revert to known-good versions without manual intervention. Compromised builds detected instantly. Automatic rollback to known-good state.
- Policy-as-code with Open Policy Agent enforcing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance gates in pipelines so non-compliant code is blocked automatically and never reaches production. Compliance enforced in the pipeline. Non-compliant code never reaches production.
- Zero-trust network architecture for build environments with least-privilege access ensuring that a compromised developer machine cannot reach production systems or build infrastructure. Compromised endpoint cannot reach production. Build isolation enforced throughout.
