Fully-managed DevSecOps

Let us handle your security, whilst you concentrate on using tech to drive innovation and growth.

DevSecOps is difficult, let us manage it

Integrating security into every stage of the development lifecycle is crucial for protecting your applications and data. Our Managed DevSecOps Service provides comprehensive security management for your DevOps pipeline, ensuring that your development process is robust, compliant, and secure.

This isn’t just about tooling. We ensure your developers are engaged, and that the tools are delivering value without bombarding developers with low-quality detections. When real issues are surfaced, we provide the expert guidance your developers need to understand and react.

What does the service entail?

1. Tool Configuration and Tuning:
We leverage your existing tooling, or can advise if you haven’t yet made a decision. Where possible, we can use opensource tooling to reduce overall cost.

DevSecOps requires a broad approach to tooling, such as:

• Secret Scanning
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
• Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
• Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
• Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
• Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
• Web Application Firewall (WAF)

2. Backlog Triage:
All these tools generate issues which need to be understood, triaged and remediated. This is where most DevSecOps programs fall down, and where we can offer the most value.

• Prioritisation: We help you prioritise security issues based on risk, impact, and ease of remediation.
• Management: Organise and track security issues to ensure timely and effective resolution.
• Automation: Leverage automation to streamline the process of identifying, tracking, and fixing security vulnerabilities.

3. Developer Guidance:
Developers are not trained to understand the latest attacks, and security staff do not understand the development process and tooling. This creates a language barrier and erodes the success of the DevSecOps initiative.

We plug this gap.

• Timely Advice: Our experts provide actionable insights and recommendations to developers, helping them address security issues promptly and effectively. Our experts are able to provide advice directly to developers during their pull requests, or ad-hoc via Slack or Teams.
• Training: Ongoing training and knowledge-sharing sessions to keep your development team up-to-date with the latest security practices and trends.
• Best Practices: Over time, training and security detections build a domain of security knowledge amongst the development teams which is able to circulate and grow.

What is DevSecOps and why is it important?

DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into every phase of the software development lifecycle, from planning and development to testing and deployment. It is crucial because it ensures that security is not an afterthought but a core component of the development process, reducing vulnerabilities and improving overall security posture.
