Service definition

Make secure delivery part of delivery

The review connects source, dependencies, build, deployment and release decisions so security checks produce an owned action or a recorded decision rather than another unworked queue.

Scope

  1. 01

    Secure software delivery and CI/CD assessment

  2. 02

    SCA, dependency and provenance control review

  3. 03

    Security gate design and exception handling

  4. 04

    Secrets, build artefact and release-integrity review

  5. 05

Client problems

Use this service when

  1. 01

    Security checks run at the end, when release pressure is highest.

  2. 02

    A dependency or scanner queue has no owner or useful priority.

  3. 03

    Teams bypass security gates because the exception route is unclear.

  4. 04

    Customers ask how software is secured and the answer is a collection of tools.

Deliverables

Common questions

Questions to settle before the work starts

Short answers to the questions that usually determine whether this is the right engagement.

Is DevSecOps consulting a tool implementation?
No. Tools are evaluated only after the delivery risk, ownership and release decision are clear. The output is an operating model the team can run, not a catalogue of scanners.
What does a DevSecOps review cover?
It covers source and dependency management, CI/CD controls, secrets, build artefacts, deployment boundaries, security gates, exceptions and the evidence produced for each release.
Who is this for?
It is for software, platform and security teams whose delivery process needs to satisfy customers, auditors or product-security obligations without making every release manual.
