Security & Compliance
"Security cannot be retrofitted — we embed it in every phase"
Security cannot be retrofitted. We embed it into every phase of the development lifecycle — and provide the assessments, remediation, and audit evidence your business needs to operate confidently in regulated environments.
When to call us
Stale dependencies
Dependencies haven't been audited or updated in six months or more.
No recent pen test
No formal penetration test has been conducted in the past 12 months.
Secrets in source control
Secrets, API keys, or credentials stored in version control or config files.
Audit or certification due
An upcoming audit, certification, or enterprise sale requires evidence of controls.
No data classification
User data handled without a documented data classification or retention policy.
No incident response plan
No defined incident response or breach notification procedure exists.
Six AppSec surfaces
Penetration testing
CREST-aligned manual and automated pen testing across web, API, mobile, and infrastructure attack surfaces.
Secure code review
Static analysis combined with manual review to catch injection flaws, insecure deserialization, and auth weaknesses.
Dependency scanning
Continuous SCA tooling to surface known CVEs in third-party packages, with remediation prioritised by exploitability.
Compliance readiness
Gap assessments, control mapping, and evidence packs to accelerate ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GDPR programmes.
Secrets & identity
Secrets management migration, IAM policy hardening, and zero-trust access patterns for cloud-hosted applications.
Secure SDLC embedding
Threat modelling, security gates in CI/CD, and developer training to shift security left across your entire engineering team.
Standards we help you reach
Gap assessments, control mapping, and audit-ready evidence packs.
Shift-left across the entire SDLC
Threat modelling
STRIDE sessions identify attack surfaces and mitigations before a line of code is written.
SAST & secrets scanning
Pre-commit secret scanning, secure coding standards, and SAST tooling enforced via linting and peer review.
DAST & dependency audit
Dependency audits and manual security test cases run alongside functional QA each sprint.
Security gates in CI/CD
Pipelines block releases with high-severity findings until remediated.
Continuous monitoring
Continuous vulnerability monitoring, runtime alerting, and annual penetration tests keep posture current in production.
Six standard outputs
Findings report
Every vulnerability documented with CVSS score, reproduction steps, and a prioritised remediation plan.
Remediation support
Our engineers work alongside your team to fix critical and high findings — not just hand over a PDF.
Attestation letter
Formal letter of attestation suitable for sharing with enterprise customers, auditors, or procurement teams.
Retest included
A free retest confirms all critical and high findings are resolved before the engagement closes.
Developer training
A targeted session covering the vulnerability classes found, so your team doesn't reintroduce the same issues.
Security roadmap
A 12-month prioritised roadmap of recommended controls and improvements beyond the immediate findings.
