Security Embedded at Every Stage

Our Software Security and DevSecOps services help clients manage the risks associated with insecure software across the entire software ecosystem. We cover all aspects of software and application security - from strategy and software creation governance, to secure software deployment and security and risk performance. We provide unique expertise and specialist support services needed to manage the evolving cyber security business risks.

End-to-End DevSecOps Services

From source code to runtime - security at every layer of the software delivery lifecycle.

Code Analysis

Detects vulnerabilities early with static and dynamic testing. Automated scanning ensures every line of code meets compliance, reducing risks before deployment. Our SAST and DAST tooling integrates directly into your version control and CI pipelines so developers receive immediate, actionable feedback - reducing the cost of remediation by finding issues at the source.

Container Security

Our DevSecOps process secures container images, orchestrations, and runtime environments to maintain compliance and reliability. We scan images at build time, enforce admission control policies in Kubernetes, and monitor runtime behaviour for anomalous activity - ensuring your containerised workloads remain hardened throughout their lifecycle.

Identity & Access Management

Ensure secure access with role-based controls, MFA, and least-privilege policies. DevSecOps integrates IAM to safeguard both user and system authentication. We design and implement Zero Trust access patterns, federated identity, and privileged access management (PAM) to control who can do what, and when - across your entire environment.

Infrastructure as Code Security

Embed compliance into IaC templates. Automated policy checks validate Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation scripts to eliminate misconfigurations before provisioning. Our policy-as-code framework enforces guardrails at plan time, blocking non-compliant resources from ever reaching your cloud environment - preventing costly security debt upstream.


Shift-Left Security

Move Security Earlier in the Delivery Lifecycle

Shift-left security is the practice of integrating security testing, validation, and controls as early as possible in the software development lifecycle - ideally at the point of code creation. Rather than treating security as a final gate before deployment, shift-left embeds it as a continuous, developer-friendly feedback loop. This dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of fixing vulnerabilities, shortens compliance cycles, and eliminates the "security vs. velocity" trade-off that traditionally hinders regulated organisations.

At GTP, we design CI/CD pipelines where security is a first-class citizen - automated scans run on every commit, secrets are detected before they leave the developer's machine, and infrastructure templates are validated against policy before any resource is provisioned. Our Ansible Automation Platform teams embed security playbooks from Day 0, ensuring hardening, patching, and compliance baseline tasks are executed automatically - not manually, and not after the fact.

IDE & Pre-Commit Scanning
Developers receive instant security feedback in their IDE and at pre-commit hooks - catching secrets, hardcoded credentials, and dependency vulnerabilities before code enters the repository.
Pipeline Security Gates
Automated SAST, DAST, SCA, and container scans are enforced as pipeline gates. Builds fail fast on critical findings, preventing vulnerable code from advancing to staging or production.
Policy as Code
Infrastructure compliance rules are expressed as code using OPA, Checkov, and Sentinel - automatically validating Terraform and CloudFormation templates before any infrastructure is provisioned.
Dependency & Supply Chain
SBOM generation at build time, open-source vulnerability management, and signed artefacts ensure the integrity of every component across your software supply chain.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
Runtime posture management continuously assesses deployed workloads against GDPR, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmarks - providing real-time drift detection and audit-ready reporting.
Security Training & Culture
We embed security champions within development teams, providing secure coding training, threat modelling workshops, and developer-friendly security tooling to build lasting security culture.

The Business Case for Secure Software Delivery

Security is no longer a separate team's concern - it's a competitive advantage and a compliance obligation. Our DevSecOps practice transforms security from a bottleneck into an enabler, allowing your teams to ship faster with confidence.

Evaluate and verify the effectiveness of your current software design process and security controls, building a clear baseline for continuous improvement.
Identify critical areas of vulnerability in your software that could be exploited by attackers - before they reach production.
Gain insights into the technical and strategic risks facing your business to allow a more informed risk management roadmap and board-level visibility.
Prioritise risk remediation across the software lifecycle while enabling agile software development - security and speed are not mutually exclusive.

Preparing Your Success with DevSecOps Best Practices

Proven principles that underpin every GTP DevSecOps engagement - from initial assessment through to continuous improvement.

01
Automate Security Testing End-to-End
Integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets detection into every pipeline stage. Manual security reviews don't scale - automation ensures every change is assessed consistently and immediately.
02
Treat Security as Code
Define security policies, compliance rules, and threat models as code - version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and testable. This makes security auditable, repeatable, and collaborative rather than siloed.
03
Enforce Least Privilege Everywhere
Apply least-privilege principles to human users, service accounts, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure resources. Every entity should have only the access it absolutely requires - nothing more.
04
Secure the Software Supply Chain
Generate and maintain SBOMs, scan open-source dependencies continuously, sign build artefacts, and validate provenance. A single compromised dependency can undermine an otherwise secure application.
05
Implement Continuous Compliance Monitoring
Extend compliance beyond the pipeline to the runtime environment. Continuously assess deployed workloads against CIS, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS controls with automated drift detection and alerting.
06
Build a Security-First Culture
DevSecOps succeeds when security is everyone's responsibility. Embed security champions, provide developer training, run threat modelling sessions, and create clear escalation paths for security findings.
07
Harden Container & Kubernetes Environments
Apply CIS Kubernetes benchmarks, enforce pod security standards, restrict network egress with network policies, and use admission controllers to block non-compliant workloads at deploy time.
08
Centralise Secrets Management
Never store secrets in source code or environment variables. Use a centralised vault with dynamic secret generation, automatic rotation, and fine-grained access control for all credentials and certificates.
09
Measure, Report & Continuously Improve
Track MTTR for security findings, vulnerability aging, pipeline scan pass rates, and compliance posture over time. Data-driven security metrics enable informed prioritisation and executive visibility.

Expert Ansible Automation for DevSecOps from Day 0

A World-Class Team of Ansible Automation Specialists

We have a great team of Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) specialists who perform DevSecOps automation from Day 0. Before the first workload is deployed, our engineers execute Ansible playbooks that apply security baseline configurations, enforce CIS hardening, provision secrets, configure IAM policies, and establish compliance monitoring - all automatically, consistently, and at scale.

Our Ansible-driven DevSecOps approach means that security is not bolted on later - it is provisioned as part of the infrastructure itself. Patching, vulnerability remediation, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting are all orchestrated through Ansible, eliminating manual toil and human error from Day 0 onwards.
