DevSecOps

Adeliverysystemyourteamcanrunwithoutus.

We transform continuous delivery, policy enforcement, software supply-chain assurance and developer experience — with a contractual transfer point, not a permanent consulting queue.

Who this is for

The situation that makes this urgent

The mandate and boundaries below come directly from the approved service catalogue.

Three ways to engage

Assess, Transform, Operate

Each package has a defined duration, retained outputs, commercial model and objective exit criterion.

  1. Assess

    Application and delivery baseline.

    Duration
    2 weeks fixed
    What you keep
    Delivery metrics, pipeline inventory, dependency risk, toil baseline and roadmap
    Commercial model
    Fixed price
    Exit criterion
    Client accepts baseline and roadmap
  2. Transform

    Pipeline and guardrail programme.

    Duration
    8 weeks – 6 months
    What you keep
    Reference pipelines, policy as code, scanning gates, signed provenance and transfer plan
    Commercial model
    Milestone-billed
    Exit criterion
    Client teams ship unaided
  3. Operate

    Enablement and guardrail stewardship.

    Duration
    6 – 12 months, time-bound
    What you keep
    Rule tuning, coaching, adoption metrics and executed transfer
    Commercial model
    Fixed-term retainer
    Exit criterion
    Transfer to a named owner

Capability detail

The technical substance, on the page and not behind a form

The operating capabilities and controls that define this practice.

Technical standard

Requirements that apply to every engagement

Must and should requirements from the board-approved practice standard, made visible before a conversation.

  1. Block merges on high-severity static, secret and dependency findings.

  2. Enforce cost, tagging and residency controls as policy at merge time.

  3. Trace every production change to a reviewed commit and human approver.

  4. Produce and sign an SBOM for every release and verify provenance at deployment.

  5. Protect pipelines with least privilege, short-lived credentials and isolated builds.

  6. Publish a transfer plan with named owners at the Design gate.

  7. Report lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate and recovery time.

  8. Replace manual release steps or document them in the exception register.

  9. Measure developer experience using cycle telemetry and practitioner surveys.

  10. Enable client engineers to create compliant pipelines without practice intervention.

Engagement gates: Discover and Design passed, Deliver in progress, Operate upcoming

How we work

Four phases. Objective exit criteria.

A gate passed on assertion has not been passed. One exit criterion per gate is shown here; the full set sits on each practice page.

  • Discover

    Workload profile, dependency map and recovery objectives written down and signed off by the client owner.
  • Design

    Target architecture reviewed against the vendor-supported pattern for the engine in question; failure modes enumerated.
  • Deliver

    Recovery tested from backup within the stated RTO, evidenced by a timestamped test record.
  • Operate

    Runbooks in place, rota published, first quarterly service review held with measured figures.

The boundary

What we do not do

A capability list without explicit limits is only marketing.

  1. Strict boundary

    Never a standing queue for another team's findings, maintenance or release toil.

  2. Production operations

    Permanent environment operation belongs to Cloud and Infrastructure Engineering.

  3. Approval

    We build gates and evidence; the client's change authority approves releases.

Evidence

The artefacts that make the claim testable

Evidence replaces unqualified promises and unattributed metrics.

Get started

A two-week baseline quantifies delivery risk and toil, then sets a transfer destination before transformation starts.

You keep the written baseline whether or not we continue together.
