DevSecOps & SRE
Security in the delivery pipeline and site reliability practices that keep critical services within defined service levels.
The challenge
Critical services fail in predictable ways: unreviewed changes, missing alerts, untested recovery and vulnerabilities shipped because security checks happened too late or not at all.
Many organisations measure availability only after an outage, and treat security as a gate before release rather than a continuous practice. Both approaches discover problems when they are most expensive to fix.
We introduce security controls into the pipeline and reliability engineering into operations: service level objectives, error budgets, observability and blameless incident review.
Our method
How the work is done.
- 01
Reliability and security baseline
Review incident history, monitoring coverage, pipeline controls and recovery capability.
- 02
Define service levels
Agree service level indicators and objectives with service owners, and set error budgets.
- 03
Secure the pipeline
Add dependency scanning, static analysis, secret detection, container scanning and infrastructure policy checks.
- 04
Observability
Implement metrics, logs and traces with alerting tied to service level objectives rather than raw thresholds.
- 05
Incident practice
On-call rotas, incident roles, runbooks, game days and blameless post-incident reviews.

Questions
What buyers ask us.
Will security checks slow our releases?
Checks are tuned to run quickly and fail only on issues that matter, with findings delivered to developers where they work.
What is an error budget?
The amount of unreliability a service may have within its objective. It lets teams balance new features against reliability work on evidence rather than opinion.
Do you provide on-call cover?
We help you establish your own on-call practice. Round-the-clock operational cover is available through our managed cloud service.
Which tools do you use?
We work with your existing tools where possible and recommend additions only where there is a clear gap.
