DevSecOps Services

DevSecOps is a culture and set of practices that embeds security into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) — planning, coding, building, testing, deployment and monitoring. CoreDefence assesses your DevSecOps maturity against the OWASP DSOMM (DevSecOps Maturity Model) framework, then builds and executes a tailored transformation roadmap.

Our CI/CD pipeline security integration wires SAST, DAST, SCA and secret scanning tools directly into the CI/CD platforms you already use. Quality gate mechanisms automatically prevent critical vulnerabilities from reaching production. Following a Policy-as-Code approach, we encode your security rules in OPA (Open Policy Agent) and Kyverno for consistent enforcement.

Under container security we deliver Docker image scanning, Kubernetes admission controller configuration, pod security standards enforcement, runtime security monitoring (Falco, Tracee), service mesh security (Istio, Linkerd mTLS) and Kubernetes RBAC optimisation. For supply chain security we configure image signing and verification with Sigstore/Cosign.

Under Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security we detect misconfigurations across your Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Ansible and Helm charts. By integrating Checkov, tfsec and KICS into your pipelines, we ensure infrastructure changes pass security review. In a GitOps model we design secure deployment processes with ArgoCD and Flux.

Our secret management service configures the integration of on-premises and cloud-based secret vault solutions. We install pre-commit hooks and CI scans that detect credentials leaked into code and configuration (API keys, tokens, certificates), and set up secret rotation automation so you can manage the credential lifecycle securely.

We deliver hands-on training for your development teams on the OWASP Top 10 2025, secure coding practices, threat modelling and secure architecture design. Capture The Flag (CTF) events and gamification help embed a security culture across your organisation.
