The Problem

Your Releases Happen Daily, Your Security Checks Happen Yearly

It shows up when a pen test repeats last year's flaws, a leaked key turns up in Git history, or a customer asks how your code gets checked.

  1. Yearly checks

    Security gets checked once a year, after the code has shipped.

    Yearly checks

    Checks run on every pull request, so problems surface while the change is fresh.

  2. Ignored alerts

    Scanner results land in an inbox nobody reads.

    Ignored alerts

    Each finding opens a ticket in the owning repo with a severity and due date.

  3. Leaked keys

    A cloud key sat in a public repository over a weekend.

    Leaked keys

    Push protection blocks commits that contain keys, and old leaks get rotated.

  4. Pipeline keys

    The deploy job holds a long-lived key with admin rights.

    Pipeline keys

    Deploys switch to short-lived OIDC credentials scoped to one environment.

Your team ships to production several times a week. Your security review happens once a year, when a pen test report lands with a long list of findings and no owners. A scanner someone installed long ago still runs, but its results go to an inbox nobody on your team reads. A cloud key sat in a public repository over a weekend. Your deploy job holds a long-lived key that could push anything anywhere. And nobody can say whether last quarter's fixes actually stuck.

We start by scoring your pipeline against the OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model, so you see which activities you run and which are missing. Then we add secret, code, dependency, and infrastructure checks in report-only mode, tune out the noise, and route each finding to the repo that owns it. Only then do high-severity findings block a merge. Security becomes part of every release, not a yearly surprise.

  • Maturity scored, not guessed

    Your pipeline is scored against OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model activities, so the roadmap starts from facts.

  • Noise tuned before blocking

    Your checks run report-only first, false positives get suppressed with a reason, and only real issues block merges.

  • Every finding has an owner

    Your findings open tickets in the repo that owns them, each with a severity and a due date.

Our DevSecOps Consulting Services Process

From Maturity Score to Enforced Security Gates in Five Steps

You see the maturity score first, watch checks run without blocking, approve which findings may stop a merge, and get metrics that show the change.

  1. You show us your repositories, CI platform, and how code reaches production. You get a fixed scope and price. If your CI platform's built-in scanning already covers your needs, we'll say so before we quote.

What's Included

What You Get With DevSecOps Security Services

You get a maturity scorecard, four tuned checks in your pipeline, findings routed to owners, and metrics that show whether your releases are getting safer.

  • DSOMM maturity scorecard

    Your pipeline scored against OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model activities, with gaps ranked by risk and effort.

  • Secret scanning and push protection

    Keys and tokens stopped before they reach your repositories, with old leaks found in history and rotated.

  • SAST and dependency checks

    Semgrep or CodeQL and dependency scanning on every pull request, tuned so your developers trust the results.

  • Infrastructure and container checks

    Your Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, and container images scanned with Checkov and Trivy before deploy.

  • Findings routed to owners

    Every finding deduplicated in DefectDojo or your tracker and assigned to the owning team with a due date.

  • Metrics and runbook

    A dashboard of open findings and fix times, plus a runbook for adding the checks to your new repos.

Projects We've Built

SaaS, HR, and learning products we designed and built. They weren't DevSecOps engagements, but they're the kind of products whose pipelines this service secures.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built software products for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasnโ€™t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Engineering Teams Trust Us With DevSecOps

Your developers keep shipping while security checks arrive, because nothing blocks until it's tuned. These habits are what make the checks stick after we leave.

  • Report-only before blocking

    Every new check runs without blocking for about a week first. Your developers see real results before any merge depends on them.

  • Suppressions need a reason

    When a finding is a false positive, we suppress it with a written reason in the repo. Later, anyone on your team can see why it was ignored.

  • Your CI platform stays

    We work inside GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, or Bitbucket Pipelines. You don't migrate platforms to get security checks.

  • Developers stay in flow

    Findings show up in the pull requests and tickets your developers already use. Nobody has to log in to another dashboard to see them.

  • Straight talk on tools

    We recommend open-source and built-in scanners when they're enough. If a paid platform really saves your team time, you hear why first.

  • You own the pipeline config

    Your rules, workflows, and runbooks live in your own repositories. Your team can read, change, and extend them later without asking us.

Good fit

  • SaaS teams shipping several times a week

    Your team deploys often, and security reviews still happen once a year, long after the risky code went live.

  • Startups facing their first enterprise review

    Your biggest prospect asks how code gets checked before release, and you want a real answer, not a policy document.

  • Teams with scanners nobody trusts

    You turned on a scanner once, it flooded the team with false positives, and everyone learned to ignore its alerts.

  • Engineering leaders planning a DevSecOps rollout

    You need devsecops transformation services that fit the tools and people you already have, without a multi-year program.

  • Agencies maintaining many client repositories

    You maintain code for several clients and want the same security checks in every pipeline, under your agency's standards.

Not a fit

  • No CI/CD pipeline yet

    Your code still deploys by hand or from a laptop. CI/CD Pipeline Setup Services come first, and security checks follow naturally.

  • Need secure coding practices

    Your gap is how features get designed and reviewed, not the pipeline. Secure Software Development Services cover threat models and secure requirements.

  • Need SBOMs and signed builds

    Your customers ask for SBOMs, signed releases, and build provenance. Software Supply Chain Security Services cover that layer in depth.

  • Budget under $800

    Your budget is under $800, or one small repo needs one scanner. Your CI platform's built-in secret and dependency scanning is a fine start.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines, what consultants do, cloud pipelines, vendors, release speed, and outsourcing.

  • DevSecOps consulting from DeveloperLook starts at $800 for one pipeline with up to 3 repositories. That covers a maturity scorecard, four checks in report-only mode, noise tuning, and findings routed to your tracker. The Security Gates Rollout costs $2,300 for 3 pipelines with blocking gates and OIDC deploys. The DevSecOps Program costs $4,700 for up to 8 pipelines.

  • A pipeline review with first checks takes 1 to 2 weeks, and a full program takes 3 to 5 weeks. The longest step is report-only mode, which runs about a week so your false positives get tuned out. Blocking gates then go live repo by repo. You get the metrics dashboard and runbook in the final week.

  • A DevSecOps consultant builds security checks into the way your team already writes, tests, and ships code. That means scoring current practices, choosing scanners that fit, wiring them into CI, and tuning them until developers trust the results. A good one also fixes pipeline permissions, such as long-lived deploy keys, and leaves metrics that show whether you're improving.

  • The best DevSecOps services for cloud teams secure the deploy path as well as the code. Look for infrastructure-as-code scanning before Terraform or Bicep applies, container image scanning, and short-lived OIDC credentials from CI to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. GitHub Actions and GitLab both support OIDC federation with the major clouds, so stored deploy keys can go.

  • Vendors that provide DevSecOps solutions fall into three groups: CI platforms with built-in scanning, standalone scanners, and consultancies that wire them together. GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps each offer secret and dependency scanning. Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx, and open-source tools like Trivy cover code and containers. Lists of top DevSecOps companies change often, so judge each one on fit.

  • The best DevSecOps consulting companies work inside your existing tools and leave your team able to run things alone. Ask any DevSecOps consulting company to show a tuned pipeline from past work, explain how it handles false positives, and list what you keep afterward. Be wary of firms that require their own platform license. A fixed scope beats open-ended day rates.

  • No, not when checks are tuned and staged: only high-severity findings block a merge, and the fast scans run on changed files. Secret and SAST checks run on each pull request in minutes. Heavier jobs, such as DAST and full container scans, run on a schedule or against staging instead of on every commit, so your developers aren't left waiting.

  • No, the checks go into the CI platform you already use: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, or Bitbucket Pipelines. Each one runs our scanners as ordinary pipeline steps. Only your deploy job changes shape when it moves from stored cloud keys to short-lived OIDC credentials, and that's a small configuration change.

  • You measure DevSecOps progress with a few numbers that change behavior. Track open findings by severity, their age, your time to fix, and the share of repos with every check on. We set your baseline in week one and show the change at handover. A DSOMM rescore at the end shows which maturity activities you've added.

  • Yes, as a project with a clear end rather than an open retainer. Our devsecops outsourcing services set up and tune the checks, then hand your team a runbook and dashboard to run them. If you need people watching security alerts every day, Managed Security Services fit that better, and you'll hear that from us up front.
