Who it’s for
CTOs, Heads of Security, and COOs at organisations that ship software fast and need security baked into the SDLC + a detection capability the board can read on a single page.
Outcome
- A pull-request-grade integration of SAST, DAST, SBOM, secrets scanning, supply-chain controls into your CI
- Secure CI/CD baseline (OIDC, signed builds, attestations)
- A SOC playbook for the priority detections, with MTTR baselines
- A detection-as-code library the team can extend
- A weekly security metrics dashboard the engineering org actually reads
- A 25%+ reduction in security incidents within the first year, on pattern with prior engagements
Operating model
We embed with both engineering and the SOC (whether yours or a partner’s). We design the controls, write the playbooks, and run the first month of incidents alongside the team. We translate the metrics for the board.
Engagement length & shape
- Initial scope: 8-12 weeks per maturity step.
- Retainer: monthly thereafter, weekly metrics review.
We needed AI guardrails that the board could understand and the engineering team could ship. Salvador Cloud delivered both.
What's NOT in scope
- MSSP / 24×7 SOC operations (we build the capability; partner runs it)
- Penetration testing (we recommend partners)
- Bug-bounty programme operations (we set up; partner runs)

Frequently asked
What does the DevSecOps deliverable look like?
Pipeline integration of SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC checks, and container image scanning at the gates that match your release cadence; a triage workflow that engineering can own without security bottlenecking; and a board-readable monthly summary of vulnerability posture, remediation latency, and developer-loop friction.How is your SOC service different from a managed-SOC vendor?
We design the SOC operating model and the detection content; we don't run a 24/7 monitoring service ourselves. Most engagements pair our design work with a managed-detection partner you already have or one we recommend. The accountability stays with you; the operations sit with whoever's best placed to run them.How do you measure success?
Mean time to remediate critical vulnerabilities, percentage of pipelines with security gates green, ratio of detected to false-positive alerts, time-to-acknowledge per severity. Pattern across engagements has been ~25% reduction in security incidents in the first year.What about incident response?
We design the incident response playbook, run tabletop exercises with the leadership team, and act as advisor during a live incident. We partner with specialist forensic firms for the deep-dive technical response itself.
