DevSecOps auditing

DevSecOps audits that give you the insights you need to build an effective program

A DevSecOps audit provides a full review of the DevSecOps maturity of a business. It is more than just a review of tooling or processes.

We bring together development, engineering, and security expertise to assess how security fits into the way your teams really build software.

Get a clear roadmap for improving your development processes, tooling, and culture.

OWASP SAMM and DSOMM aligned Source control and CI review Developer-focused security expertise

Sampled assessments Across teams Build a representative picture without auditing every team in full or pulling developers into unnecessary interviews.

Hybrid auditing Less disruption Combine focused interviews with source control and CI evidence so you get useful insight with less demand on your teams.

Clear roadmap Practical next steps Identify quick wins, common weaknesses, and the improvements that should be tackled first.

Why it matters

A clear DevSecOps roadmap saves time and prevents frustration

We’ve got years of experience in DevSecOps consulting, and we’re on a mission to eliminate vulnerabilities before they’re a threat.

Sampled assessments

Each development team in your business will have their own challenges and mission, but our experts work with you to find the commonality between teams.

Sampled assessments across teams provide the rich insights you need, but at a price-point and speed that works.

Hybrid auditing

Your time is important and we aim to require as little of it as possible.

We will need some time with key personnel from your development and security teams, but we’re experienced in keeping this to a minimum. Our auditors obtain key insights by assessing your source control and CI systems.

Strong foundations

Our consultants leverage our experience and expertise, alongside the OWASP SAMM and DSOMM research, to thoroughly assess each development team.

The result is a clear gap analysis report, suggesting clear and actionable insights to improve security across the SDLC.

Why Punk Security

DevSecOps is what we do

This is not a token service from a faceless corporation. We build tooling, speak globally on DevSecOps, deliver developer-focused security training, and provide managed DevSecOps services.

Proven experience

We are passionate about building DevSecOps programs that really work and we build long-term relationships with our customers to support a successful outcome.

Not just tools

Tooling is critical, but don’t fall into the trap of implementing yet more tooling that no one reacts to. Our recommendations address the most critical risk first.

Developer engagement

Technical findings can be difficult to understand and triage, so security awareness and engagement need to be fostered to build team buy-in.

What we review

DevSecOps needs a holistic assessment

DevSecOps cannot simply be the introduction of one or more tools. Tools need to fit into the development process in a controlled and sensible way while engagement is promoted and monitored.

Maturity

Assess the whole DevSecOps function

We leverage OWASP SAMM and DSOMM research to provide a broad review of your DevSecOps implementation and maturity.

Review development processes, tooling, and culture
Identify quick-win optimisations
Highlight areas of significant risk without vanity metrics

Evidence

Use interviews and system evidence

Our consultants interview key stakeholders across the SDLC and analyse logs and artifacts generated during development.

Review source control and CI systems
Reduce impact on development teams
Build an evidence-based assessment

Who this is for

For teams that need a practical view of DevSecOps maturity

This page is for organisations that want to understand where to invest first and how to improve security across the SDLC without wasting effort on low-value activity.

You need a clear roadmap

Building an effective DevSecOps program takes time. With so many options and limited capacity, our experts assess your development processes and recommend a clear path forward.

You have tools but low engagement

Businesses often rush to the latest security tools first, but tools alone can create noise, vanity metrics, and frustration if no one reacts to the findings.

You want representative insight

Sampling across teams helps expose common deficiencies and quick wins without focusing only on the best or worst performing teams.

How it works

A light-touch audit route with useful evidence

We perform sampled audits across your development teams to build a complete picture as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Each team takes around a week to assess, but we combine interviews and system auditing to limit the time we need with your developers.

Understand the organisation

We work with you to understand your delivery model, development teams, security responsibilities, tooling, and constraints.

Choose a meaningful sample

We sample across teams to identify quick wins and common deficiencies, rather than focusing only on the best or worst performing teams.

Review people, process, and evidence

We speak with key stakeholders and assess source control, CI systems, logs, artifacts, and development practices.

Report the roadmap

The resulting report highlights quick-win optimisations, areas of significant risk, and clear next steps to improve security across the SDLC.

Open the questions below to understand how we assess maturity, why we use sampling, and what to expect from the audit.

Audit questions

What is DevSecOps?

DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into software development. It is crucial because it prevents vulnerabilities residing in applications for months, if not years.

What is a DevSecOps audit?

A DevSecOps audit provides a full review of the DevSecOps maturity of a business. It is more than just a review of tooling or processes.

How long does it take?

We perform sampled audits across your development teams to build a complete picture as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Each team takes a week to assess, but we use a combination of interviews and system auditing to limit the time we need with your developers.

Why do we recommend sampling?

By sampling the activity within an organisation, we can build a more representative picture whilst avoiding unnecessary costs or interview time. To achieve this fair assessment, we sample pseudo-randomly from actively developed applications.
