Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries about our DevSecOps services.

The timeline varies based on your organization's size, complexity, and current maturity. We typically see initial value within 4-6 weeks with foundational tool integrations. A comprehensive, culture-changing transformation can take 6-12 months. Our phased approach ensures you get incremental value at every stage.

On the contrary, a well-implemented DevSecOps program accelerates delivery. By catching security issues early ("shifting left"), you eliminate time-consuming rework and last-minute fire drills before release. Automated security gates provide instant feedback, allowing developers to fix issues while the context is still fresh, rather than weeks later.

We act as a force multiplier for your existing security team. We partner with them to translate their security policies into automated controls and workflows. We handle the specialized work of integrating and tuning security tools within the CI/CD pipeline, freeing up your team to focus on higher-level risk management, threat intelligence, and incident response.

We are tool-agnostic and believe in using the right tool for the job. We have deep expertise with a wide range of best-in-class open-source (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Trivy) and commercial (e.g., SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx) tools. We will recommend a toolchain that best fits your needs and budget, and we are equally comfortable working with your existing licensed tools.

Success is measured through clear, quantifiable metrics. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) we track include: Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) for vulnerabilities, vulnerability density per line of code, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and the percentage of automated vs. manual security checks. We provide you with dashboards to track this progress in real-time.
