Pipelines That Scan, Sign, and Ship

We build CI/CD pipelines where security isn't a gate at the end — it's embedded in every stage, from commit to production.

Duration: 4-12 weeks Team: 1-2 Senior DevSecOps Engineers
The Challenge

You might be experiencing...

Deploying monthly or less because releases are risky
No security scanning in your CI/CD pipeline
Manual security reviews bottleneck every release
No SBOM generation or artifact signing
Rollbacks are painful or impossible

Your pipeline should be your first line of defense — catching vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed secrets before they reach production.

We build pipelines where every commit is scanned for security issues, every container image gets an SBOM, and every production artifact is signed and verified. Security gates run in parallel with your existing tests, adding minutes — not hours — to your build time.

The result: your team ships multiple times per day with confidence that every release is scanned, signed, and auditable.

Our Approach

Engagement Phases

Week 1-2

Assessment & Design

Audit existing pipelines, map bottlenecks, design target architecture with security gates at every stage.

Week 3-6

Foundation & Security Gates

Implement build optimization, SAST/SCA scanning, secret detection, container scanning, and SBOM generation.

Week 7-10

Deployment Automation

Image signing with Cosign, policy-based admission control, progressive deployment (canary/blue-green), automated rollback.

Week 11-12

Handoff & Optimization

Knowledge transfer, runbook documentation, DORA metrics dashboards, ongoing improvement plan.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to implement a secure CI/CD pipeline?

Typical engagements run 4-12 weeks depending on the number of repositories and complexity. We start with pipeline assessment and design in weeks 1-2, implement security gates in weeks 3-6, add deployment automation in weeks 7-10, and complete handoff in weeks 11-12.

Will adding security scanning slow down our builds?

Security gates run in parallel with your existing tests, adding minutes — not hours — to your build time. We optimize scanning configurations and use incremental analysis where possible to minimize pipeline impact while maintaining full security coverage.

Which CI/CD platforms do you support?

We work with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and other major platforms. The security tooling — Semgrep, Trivy, Cosign, Gitleaks, and Checkov — integrates with any modern CI/CD system.

What is SBOM generation and why do we need it?

SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is an inventory of all components in your container images. It is increasingly required for supply chain security compliance (NIST, NESA, SOC 2). We generate SBOMs automatically for every build using Syft and attach them to signed artifacts.

Do you provide training for our development team?

Yes. The engagement includes operational runbooks, DORA metrics dashboards, and knowledge transfer sessions. Your team will understand how to maintain the pipeline, interpret scan results, and respond to security findings independently.
