Agile Security & Secure DevOps
Secure software development must not be a subsequent addition – it must be integrated into agile processes and DevOps from the outset. With Agile Security & Secure DevOps, we ensure that security becomes part of your development rhythm.
Classic security audits at the end of a project are too late and too inefficient. Modern software development requires short release cycles, continuous adjustments, and close integration of development, operations, and security. Agile Security & Secure DevOps embed security requirements and tests directly into the development process – this allows risks to be identified early, managed continuously, and reduced sustainably.
Our Services
We support you in seamlessly integrating security into your agile projects and DevOps processes. Our service portfolio includes:
- Architecture & process consulting: Identify security requirements early and integrate them into project planning.
- Workflow Integration: Embedding security considerations into existing ticketing and collaboration systems.
- Security at Ticket Level: Definition and tracking of relevant security properties within the agile backlog.
- Test Planning & Execution: Selection and implementation of manual and (partially) automated penetration tests, code analyses, and audits.
- Automated Security Tests: Development and integration of security checks into CI/CD pipelines.
- DevOps Security Enablement: Support in the introduction of secure Continuous Integration and Deployment processes.
Approach
Our approach is iterative and practical, tailored to the dynamics of agile projects. Together with your teams, we ensure that security becomes a continuous part of development:
- Kick-off & Consulting: Analysis of existing processes and definition of security goals.
- Integration: Integration of security tickets, tests, and metrics into your agile workflows.
- Automation: Setup of tools and pipelines for recurring security tests.
- Accompanying Reviews: Execution of code analyses, penetration tests, and audits in the relevant project phases.
- Continuous Improvement: Regular retrospectives and adaptation of security measures to new requirements.
Checkpoints
To ensure that security is more than just a buzzword, we specifically examine the critical control levers of your development processes:
- Integration of security tickets into backlog and sprint planning
- Quality and coverage of automated security tests
- Efficiency of CI/CD processes with regard to security
- Compliance with relevant standards (e.g., OWASP, ISO, NIST)
- Balance between security, agility, and time-to-market
Your Benefit
With Agile Security & Secure DevOps, you make security an integral part of your development processes without sacrificing your agility.
Your teams develop software that is secure from the ground up. Risks are identified early, automatically checked, and continuously resolved. The result: faster releases, less rework, and a significantly higher level of security, while maintaining flexibility.
- Early integration of security into architecture and processes
