Problem
Teams now release weekly or daily, but security reviews still happen quarterly or before major launches. Vulnerable libraries, leaked credentials and insecure configuration slip through between reviews. Developers get long lists of findings too late to act on them easily.
Outcomes
- Security checks on every change, with fast feedback to developers.
- Vulnerable dependencies and leaked secrets caught before release.
- Infrastructure configuration checked against secure baselines.
- Clear rules on which findings block a release.
- Developers who understand and own security in their code.
Scope
In scope
- Static code analysis.
- Dependency and container image scanning.
- Secrets detection.
- Infrastructure-as-code scanning.
- Release gates and exception handling.
- Developer guidance and training.
Not included
- Manual penetration testing. We coordinate specialist testers.
Approach
Discovery
We review how code gets from developer to live.
Delivery Planning
We agree which findings block a release and how exceptions are approved, and decide where to add scanning first, starting with the highest-value checks.
Build and Test
We add scanning at the right points and tune it to reduce false positives, so developers trust the results. Critical findings block a release unless an exception is approved.
Operational Readiness, Hypercare and Closure
We hand over the pipeline checks, release gate rules, exception process and vulnerability dashboard. We help developers fix issues and avoid them next time, then close the work with your sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will security checks slow our releases?
Well-tuned checks add a few minutes to a release, and they save time by catching problems early.
What happens if a check fails?
Depending on severity, the release is blocked or flagged. Exceptions need approval and are recorded.
Do we still need penetration testing?
Yes, for important systems. Automated checks and penetration testing find different things.
Can you work with our existing pipelines?
Yes. We add security checks to the pipelines you already use.
Security reviews finding problems too late?
A Technical Audit reviews your delivery pipeline and its security checks in 10 to 15 working days and gives you a prioritised remediation plan. It does not include penetration testing unless separately contracted.
