DevSecOps Security Assessment

Review of CI/CD pipelines, tooling, and security practices in the software delivery lifecycle. For engineering and security leads who want to identify gaps in SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets management, and deployment security without prescribing a single vendor or stack.

Pricing: €3,000 – €8,000

Service overview

  • Review of CI/CD pipelines, security tooling, and practices in the build–deploy lifecycle.
  • For engineering and security leads adopting or maturing DevSecOps (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets, deployment).
  • Solves: secrets in pipelines, overprivileged CI, missing or weak security gates, and unverified artifacts reaching production.

Typical security risks discovered

  • Secrets in pipelines: credentials in logs, env vars, or unsecured parameter stores; no rotation or scoping.
  • Overprivileged CI identities: pipeline roles with broad write or deploy rights; no least privilege.
  • Missing or weak security gates: no SAST/DAST/SCA in pipeline; critical findings not blocking or visible.
  • Unverified artifacts: images or binaries deployed without signing or provenance checks.
  • Insufficient dependency and image scanning: outdated or vulnerable dependencies and base images in production.
  • Deployment and config drift: sensitive config in repos; no separation of build and production secrets.

Assessment scope

  • CI/CD pipeline design: build, test, and deploy stages; where security tools run and how failures are handled.
  • Secrets management: how credentials are injected, who can access them, rotation and audit.
  • SAST, DAST, SCA: coverage, quality of rules, integration with pipeline and ticketing.
  • Container and image security: base images, scanning, signing, and admission at deploy time.
  • Deployment and production: who can deploy, how config and secrets are delivered, change control.
  • Visibility and response: logging, alerting, and ownership for pipeline and deployment security.

Deliverables

  • Pipeline and process security report with findings and risk ratings.
  • Recommendations for tooling and process (framework-agnostic where possible).
  • Prioritised improvement list (quick wins vs. longer-term changes).
  • Implementation guidance: where to integrate checks, how to avoid blocking delivery unnecessarily.
  • Optional follow-up to validate improvements.

Expected outcomes

  • Clear picture of where the pipeline is exposed (secrets, permissions, missing gates) and how to fix it.
  • Prioritised improvements so engineering can adopt SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets handling in stages.
  • Reduced risk of credential leakage, malicious builds, or vulnerable artifacts in production.
  • Optional follow-up to confirm critical gaps are addressed.
