Cloud & Application Security

Your applications shipped to the cloud faster than your security controls did — and now no one's fully sure which workloads are exposed, over-permissioned, or missing basic guardrails.

Cloud and application environments with security built into the pipeline — not a bolt-on scan that ships alongside vulnerabilities anyway.

Who it’s for

  • Engineering and security teams running production workloads on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud without consistent posture management
  • Organizations building or scaling a DevSecOps practice and needing pipeline-integrated security testing
  • Teams exposing APIs externally without a clear API security or container-hardening baseline

What we deliver

  • Cloud security posture management (CSPM) and workload protection (CWPP) implementation and tuning
  • Secure SDLC and DevSecOps pipeline integration — SAST, DAST, and software composition analysis
  • API and container/Kubernetes security hardening
  • Zero Trust-aligned network and identity controls for cloud workloads
  • Runbooks and documentation your engineering team can maintain going forward

How the engagement works

Typical duration: 6–14 weeks depending on cloud footprint and pipeline complexity

01

Baseline

Assess current cloud posture, pipeline security gates, and API/container exposure.

02

Design

Define target controls and tooling integration points that fit your existing CI/CD.

03

Implement

Roll out posture management, pipeline gates, and hardening in stages to avoid disrupting delivery.

04

Enable

Train engineering and security teams to own and extend the controls independently.

Technology ecosystem

Platforms we commonly work with — not an implied partnership or certification.

FAQ

Do we need to change our cloud provider or CI/CD tooling?

No — this engagement integrates with what you already run rather than requiring a platform change.

Will this slow down our release cadence?

Controls are phased in specifically to avoid that — we tune gates against your existing velocity rather than blocking releases on day one.

Can you work across a multi-cloud environment?

Yes, though scope and duration are adjusted accordingly.

Is this advisory-only or hands-on implementation?

Hands-on implementation, with your team involved throughout so the controls are maintainable after we hand off.
