Implementation Process
Define Scope & Process Mapping
Identify systems, pipelines, environments, and development teams in scope for review. Analyse existing development, build, deployment, and operations workflows. Review CI/CD tools, code repositories, container registries, and automated testing frameworks.
Security Integration Evaluation
Assess security practices embedded in pipelines — including static code analysis (SAST), dependency checks (SCA), configuration scanning, container hardening, IaC security (Terraform/CloudFormation), and secret management practices.
Vulnerability & Risk Analysis
Identify gaps in process and tooling that could introduce vulnerabilities or compliance risks. Review source code access control, branch protection, dependency management, and compliance alignment with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and CIS Secure DevOps benchmarks.
Recommendations, Reporting & Follow-Up
Deliver a comprehensive report highlighting findings, risk ratings, and a prioritised roadmap for improvement. Provide actionable guidance to improve processes, automate security checks, and strengthen pipeline security. Validate improvements in a follow-up assessment.
Engagement Deliverables
Security gates in every stage.
SAMM-aligned programme.

Why 443 Labs
The DevSecOps difference that makes security stick.
Process-First, Not Tool-First
Most vendors sell you tools. We assess your existing workflows first — understanding what your team actually does before recommending what to automate. Security gates that fit your workflow get used; those that don't get bypassed.
CI/CD Pipeline Native
Our experts have hands-on experience integrating SAST, SCA, DAST, and IaC scanning into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and AWS CodePipeline — not just advising from a distance.
Compliance Alignment Built In
DevSecOps controls map directly to PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements. We align recommendations to your compliance obligations from day one — so implementation serves dual purposes.
Developer Training Included
Technology without adoption fails. Developer security awareness training is included in every engagement — building the secure coding culture that keeps vulnerabilities out of the pipeline before scanners need to catch them.
Not Sure Where to Start
We'll assess where you are and tell you exactly what needs to change.
Whether you're starting from scratch, tuning an existing pipeline, or trying to meet a compliance deadline — our DevSecOps specialists will assess your current state and deliver a practical roadmap that your team can actually implement.

Common Questions
What is a DevSecOps process review?
A DevSecOps process review evaluates your organisation's software development, deployment, and operations processes to ensure security is embedded throughout the lifecycle. It covers pipeline tooling, SAST/SCA/DAST integration, developer processes, security gating policies, and secure coding capability.
Do you review both cloud and on-prem pipelines?
Our review covers CI/CD pipelines, deployment environments, and operational workflows across both cloud and on-premises infrastructure — including AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and hybrid deployment environments.
Do you follow a standard methodology?
Yes. The review is aligned with DevSecOps best practices, OWASP SAMM, and CIS Secure DevOps benchmarks. We can also produce a SAMM baseline assessment and improvement roadmap as part of the engagement.
Can follow-up assessments be performed?
Yes. We can validate implementation of recommendations and process improvements after the initial review — confirming that security gates operate as intended and pipeline changes achieve the targeted security posture improvement.
Can you help with IaC security scanning?
Yes. Infrastructure-as-Code security is a core component of our DevSecOps reviews. We configure tfsec (Terraform), Checkov, KICS, and CFN-Nag for CloudFormation as part of the pipeline integration recommendations.
