Cybersecurity
& DevSecOps
We help teams build security into how software is designed, tested, and released, and prepare for audits, authorizations, and customer reviews, in federal and commercial work.
When clients call us
Security work tends to get requested at an awkward moment: right before an audit, after an incident, or when a customer or investor asks for evidence the team does not have. We would rather help earlier, but we are used to being called late.
We work with engineering and technology leaders who need practical steps. We tie each recommendation to the business risk it addresses, so the team can decide what to do first.
What the work includes
Reviewing security and risk
We assess how the organization handles security today, across people, process, and systems, and explain which gaps matter most for the business. The result is a ranked list with the reasoning behind it.
Building security into the pipeline
We review how code is written, tested, and released, and recommend where to add automated checks, dependency and supply-chain controls, and approvals. We also bring what we learned from applying AI to DevSecOps, including where it helps and where it does not.
Mapping controls to the frameworks you answer to
Whether the standard is a federal authorization such as FedRAMP or a customer’s security questionnaire, we map your controls to the requirements so that evidence is collected once and reused.
Preparing for incidents and oversight
We help define who owns what during an incident, how decisions are escalated, and what leadership and the board should see on a regular basis.
Where we have done this
- Authorization in six months. Led a federal modernization and migration to FedRAMP High AWS GovCloud that achieved an authority to operate within six months.
- Compliance visibility from end to end. Built a CI/CD-based DevOps system for virtual machines, containers, and compiled code that gave visibility into compliance for healthcare transaction processing.
- DAICE. Developed an approach to AI-enhanced DevSecOps and set up Centers of Excellence in cloud, cybersecurity, and architecture.
- Credentials. Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) from the Cloud Security Alliance, and AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
Next step
If an audit, an authorization, or a customer review is coming up, tell us what you are shipping and what you are held to. We typically respond within one business day.
