Cybersecurity/AI-Augmented DevSecOps
AI-Augmented DevSecOps

AI-augmented security built into how you ship code.

Security added at the end costs about ten times more to fix, and it's far less likely to ever get fixed. Security gets built into your development pipeline from the first commit, with AI doing the heavy lifting on triage. That means threat modelling while the design is still on the whiteboard, AI-assisted SAST and DAST scanning in your CI, LLM-driven false-positive filtering, and hardening standards your developers will actually follow.

  • AI-assisted threat modelling at the architecture stage, before any code is written
  • SAST and DAST scanning with LLM-powered triage on every pull request
  • OWASP LLM Top 10 controls for the AI surfaces you ship
  • Secrets management, container hardening, dependency audits

A DevSecOps toolchain that runs inside the pipelines your team already has.

Why

Catching a flaw early costs a fraction of catching it late.

The cost of fixing a vulnerability climbs roughly 10x at each stage of the software lifecycle. A fix at the design stage is cheap. A fix during code review is still manageable. A fix after launch is expensive, urgent, and often only half-finished. Moving the work earlier means most of those fixes happen while they're still cheap.

Security reviews only happen once a quarter

A vulnerability introduced in January gets discovered in March and fixed in April. For those three months it sits in production, where anyone who finds it can use it.

Secrets leaking into version control

API keys and database passwords get committed to git, and the history can't be fully scrubbed afterwards. Three developers already have those credentials, and nobody can say whether someone left the company with a copy.

Dependencies nobody is watching

There are 300 npm packages in the project and 47 of them have known CVEs. Nobody has checked which ones are actually exploitable in your setup, so none of them have been touched.

Container images shipping with known holes

The base images were pulled six months ago. Since then, 12 CVEs have been disclosed for the OS packages inside them. The images still haven't been rebuilt or scanned.

The Process

How we run this engagement.

Each step produces something concrete, comes with a written hand-off, and has to pass a checkpoint before we move on to the next one.

01

Threat modelling workshop

We run a working session with your engineering and architecture teams. Together we map the data flows, trust boundaries, authentication points, and integrations. You come out with a documented threat model and a set of security controls everyone has agreed to.

02

SAST integration

We configure Semgrep or CodeQL for your languages and frameworks and tune it so it doesn't flood developers with false positives. It runs inside CI, scanning every pull request, and someone reviews the results.

03

Secrets management

We deploy and connect HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or an equivalent. Existing secrets get rotated and the git history is scanned for leaks. Then we update developer workflows so secrets stop ending up in version control.

04

Container hardening

Base images are pinned to verified digests. Multi-stage builds keep the attack surface small. Container scanning with Trivy or Snyk Container runs in CI, and CIS benchmark checks cover the runtime configuration.

05

DAST and pre-deploy gates

We run dynamic security testing against your staging environments. A deployment gate blocks a release if there are open high or critical findings, and we leave you a runbook for handling security exceptions.

The Result

What you walk away with.

These are outcomes you can measure, not a slide deck. Here's the change you should expect to see.

10xcheaper fixes

Most vulnerabilities caught during code review

SAST in CI catches injection, insecure patterns, and misconfigurations before they merge. Fixing a finding at pull-request time costs a small fraction of fixing the same thing after launch.

Zerosecrets in version control

Credentials kept out of version control

With secrets management in place and the git history cleaned up, a leaked repository no longer means leaked credentials.

Every PRscanned

Coverage on every change instead of once a quarter

Dependency scanning and SAST run on every pull request, so a newly disclosed CVE shows up before you deploy rather than in your next quarterly review.

A security posture enterprise buyers can audit

Your threat models, scan reports, and secrets management documentation become the evidence package that ISO 27001 auditors and enterprise procurement teams ask to see.

FAQ

Common questions.

How do you add DevSecOps without slowing our pipeline down?

We do it gradually and we tune as we go. We start with the rules that give you the most signal and the least noise for your stack, work to keep false positives down, and run everything in warning mode for a while before it starts blocking. In steady state, most teams see under five minutes added to pipeline time and fewer than two extra PR comments a week.

What about legacy code with a long list of SAST findings?

We triage that list first to separate genuine risks from noise. Then we agree on a remediation backlog ordered by exploitability, and we set the CI gate so it only blocks new findings. The legacy debt gets cleared on a schedule you've signed off on, so it never turns into a fire drill.

Can you apply DevSecOps to a pipeline you didn't build?

Yes. That's actually most of our DevSecOps work. We review what's already there, point out the gaps, and add tooling piece by piece. There's no need to rewrite the pipeline.

Where in the CI/CD pipeline do the security checks run?

Fast checks run on every commit and pull request: secret scanning, dependency audits, and SAST, so developers get feedback in minutes. Slower checks like DAST and full container scans run on the staging deploy. A pre-deploy gate to production is the last line, blocking a release when high or critical findings are still open.

How do you keep false positives from wearing developers down?

We tune the rule set to your stack, suppress known-safe patterns, and use LLM-assisted triage to filter noise before anything reaches a developer. New rules start in warning mode so the team sees the signal quality before it ever blocks a merge. The goal is fewer than two extra PR comments a week, and we keep adjusting until we hit it.

Won't security gates just slow our team down and create friction?

They only slow you down if they are noisy or badly placed, which is exactly what we tune out. Findings appear as inline PR comments with a suggested fix, in the tools developers already use, rather than as a separate ticket queue. Most teams see under five minutes added to pipeline time once tuning settles.

Which SAST, DAST, and dependency tools do you use?

For SAST we typically use Semgrep or CodeQL, for dependencies Snyk or the native scanners (npm audit, OWASP Dependency-Check), and for DAST tools like OWASP ZAP against staging. Container scanning uses Trivy or Snyk Container. We pick based on your languages and existing toolchain rather than forcing one stack on you.

How do you handle secrets so they stop ending up in git?

We deploy a secrets manager such as HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, rotate any existing secrets, and scan the full git history for leaks. Pre-commit hooks and CI secret scanning then block new secrets before they are committed. Developers pull secrets at runtime instead of hardcoding them, so a leaked repository no longer means leaked credentials.

Does DevSecOps help with compliance like ISO 27001 or SOC 2?

Yes. The threat models, scan reports, secrets management records, and deployment-gate logs become the evidence package auditors ask for. Automated controls in CI also give you continuous proof that checks run on every change rather than a once-a-year snapshot. We structure the outputs so they map cleanly to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 control requirements.

How do you secure AI and LLM features in the pipeline?

We add controls mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10, covering prompt injection, insecure output handling, and sensitive data leakage through RAG. Tests for those failure modes run alongside your existing SAST and DAST so AI surfaces are checked on the same cadence as the rest of your code. The threat model from the design stage already accounts for these risks, so the pipeline checks reinforce decisions made early.
