Security Solutions & Implementation

SDLC Security Integration

Embedding security into your software development lifecycle - from secure coding standards to CI/CD security gates - so vulnerabilities are caught before release.

What It Is

We help engineering teams shift security left by embedding practical, low-friction security gates and secure coding practices directly into your existing development workflow, rather than bolting on security as an afterthought.

Who It's For

  • Engineering teams without a formal secure development process
  • Companies wanting to add security gates (SAST/DAST/dependency scanning) into CI/CD
  • Organizations needing to demonstrate secure SDLC practices for compliance or customer audits

Our Methodology

  1. SDLC Assessment

    Review your current development process, tooling, and release pipeline for security gaps.

  2. Tooling & Gate Design

    Recommend and help configure SAST, dependency/SCA scanning, and secrets detection integrated into CI/CD.

  3. Secure Coding Enablement

    Provide secure coding guidelines and targeted training for your development team based on your tech stack.

  4. Pipeline Integration

    Implement security gates and reporting into your existing CI/CD pipeline.

  5. Process Documentation

    Document the resulting secure SDLC process for audits and onboarding.

Deliverables

  • SDLC security gap assessment
  • Configured CI/CD security gates (SAST/SCA/secrets scanning)
  • Secure coding guidelines tailored to your stack
  • SDLC security process documentation

Engagement Model

Typically a 3-6 week engagement depending on the number of pipelines and repositories, with an optional ongoing advisory retainer for new projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which CI/CD platforms do you support?

We work with common platforms including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.

Do you provide developer training?

Yes, we include targeted secure coding sessions based on the vulnerability classes most relevant to your stack.

Will this slow down our release pipeline?

Gates are tuned to flag high-confidence, high-severity issues so they don't become a bottleneck for routine releases.
