SecOps + DevSecOps Built In, Automated, Measurable

Security that's embedded into engineering workflows—without slowing delivery.

Enterprise-Grade Confidence

At OctaScale, security isn't a checklist step at the end. It's a continuous practice embedded into engineering workflows, infrastructure, and incident response. Enterprise customers don't just evaluate features—they evaluate operational discipline.

Security Automation
Shift-Left + Shift-Right
Compliance Ready
Audit-Ready Evidence

Expected Outcomes (Measured)

Earlier Vulnerability Detection Improves with CI gates
Lower Remediation Effort Less rework
Audit Readiness Evidence automation
Faster Security Response Playbooks + alerts

Outcomes vary by baseline. We measure improvements after rollout and share reports (scan coverage, mean time to remediate, and control evidence completeness).

The Approach

What SecOps & DevSecOps Mean in Practice

SecOps (Security Operations)

Focuses on defending running systems: detection, response, vulnerability management, access controls, logging, and audit readiness.

Faster threat detection & containment
Reliable audit trails

DevSecOps (Development + Security + Operations)

Brings security into how software is designed, written, tested, and shipped. Catch issues early, automate enforcement.

Fewer security defects in production
Repeatable secure builds

Why This Matters

Predictability

Secure pipelines, reproducible builds, controlled releases

Visibility

Complete logs, actionable alerts, "who did what and when"

Resilience

Hardening + detection + response, not just perimeter defense

Speed

Security automation that prevents rework and reduces downtime

End-to-End Coverage

DevSecOps Across the SDLC

Security embedded at every stage of your software development lifecycle.

1

Plan & Design

Security requirements baked in from the start.

  • Threat modeling for key flows
  • Security requirements & criteria
  • Secure-by-default patterns
2

Build

Secure coding with automated checks.

  • Secret scanning on every push
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • SAST & code quality gates
3

Test & Verify

Enforceable security in CI/CD pipelines.

  • Container scanning pre-deploy
  • IaC security scanning
  • SBOM generation & signing
4

Deploy & Run

Runtime security and continuous monitoring.

  • Infrastructure hardening
  • Centralized logging & alerting
  • Continuous vulnerability mgmt
Lean Security Automation

High-ROI Security Automation

You don't need a huge budget to build a mature baseline. Quick wins that reduce risk immediately.

Secrets Scanning

Block commits containing keys/tokens and detect leaked credentials in history.

Tools: Gitleaks, TruffleHog

Vulnerability Management

PR-based upgrades and fail pipelines if critical CVEs are introduced.

Tools: Dependabot/Renovate, OWASP Dependency-Check (optional: Snyk)

Container & IaC Security

Scan images in CI and enforce "no critical vulnerabilities" before deployment.

Tools: Trivy, Checkov, tfsec

Access Controls

Enforce MFA, reduce standing permissions, and implement short-lived sessions.

Tools: Okta/Azure AD, AWS IAM Identity Center, Vault/Secrets Manager

Cloud Security Defaults

Secure bucket policies, TLS-only, encryption, and least privilege roles.

AWS SCPs, Prowler, Cloud Custodian

Automated Evidence

Automated reports for auditors: vuln scans, patch posture, access reviews.

Compliance-as-code
Modern Tool Stack

Open Source First. Enterprise Standards When Required

Modular security tooling—adopt what you need, replace parts when required by enterprise standards.

Code & Pipeline

  • Semgrep, SonarQube (SAST)
  • Gitleaks, TruffleHog
  • Snyk, Dependabot (SCA)

Container & Artifact

  • Trivy, Grype (scanning)
  • Cosign (signing)
  • Syft (SBOM)

Infrastructure & Cloud

  • Checkov, tfsec (IaC)
  • Prowler, Cloud Custodian
  • AWS WAF, Shield

Identity & Runtime

  • Vault, AWS Secrets Manager (or SOPS)
  • OpenSearch / Elastic Stack (licensing-fit), or Loki
  • Prometheus, Grafana
