Product teams formalising secure delivery
Introduce practical security controls without creating a separate manual process for every release.
Security integrated into source, build, artefact, infrastructure, deployment, identity, and runtime workflows
DevSecOps services
Rokad integrates security into engineering and delivery workflows through automated checks, policy, secure defaults, evidence, remediation, and operational feedback.
Designed for / 01
A focused delivery model for the organisations that need it.
DevSecOps makes security part of the system teams use to build and operate software. Rokad connects threat modelling, source control, dependencies, artefacts, infrastructure, secrets, identity, deployment, runtime telemetry, vulnerability management, and remediation to delivery workflows.
Organisations preparing for enterprise assurance
Create repeatable evidence for access, change, dependency, vulnerability, environment, and operational controls.
Teams reducing security backlog and exposure
Prioritise findings by reachability, exploitability, asset criticality, and remediation path rather than scanner volume alone.
Challenges / 02
The problems this service is built to solve.
Security checks occur too late
Critical architecture, dependency, identity, secret, and infrastructure decisions are discovered during audit or after release.
Tools generate findings without ownership
Alerts lack context, prioritisation, service mapping, remediation expectations, exceptions, and closure evidence.
Developers bypass controls that slow delivery
Security is not encoded into templates, environments, workflows, documentation, or supported engineering paths.
Capabilities / 03
What Rokad can deliver.
01
Secure development lifecycle, threat modelling, ownership, and policy design
02
Source, secret, dependency, licence, static, dynamic, and API security checks
03
Software bill of materials, artefact signing, provenance, registries, and supply chain
04
Infrastructure, container, Kubernetes, cloud, network, and configuration policy
05
Identity, privilege, credentials, environments, approvals, and segregation
06
Vulnerability intake, prioritisation, remediation, exceptions, and evidence
07
Runtime telemetry, detection, incident feedback, metrics, training, and continuous improvement
Solution components / 04
The system behind the visible product.
Secure engineering path
Threat prompts, templates, dependencies, secrets, tests, reviews, documentation, and secure defaults in daily work.
Supply-chain controls
Source protection, dependency policy, builds, artefacts, provenance, signatures, registries, and deployment verification.
Policy and evidence
Machine-checkable rules, approvals, exceptions, ownership, findings, remediation, and assurance records.
Operational feedback
Runtime vulnerabilities, incidents, detections, attack paths, service telemetry, lessons, and control improvement.
Use cases / 05
Where this capability creates practical leverage.
Secure CI/CD implementation
Add risk-based checks, artefact controls, policy, approvals, provenance, and deployment verification to delivery pipelines.
Cloud and infrastructure policy
Enforce identity, network, encryption, logging, secret, backup, tagging, and configuration requirements through code.
Software supply-chain security
Control source, dependencies, builds, runners, artefacts, registries, signatures, deployment identity, and provenance.
Vulnerability-management integration
Connect findings to assets, owners, exploitability, service risk, remediation workflow, exceptions, and closure evidence.
Architecture and integration / 06
Designed to fit the wider technology environment.
Risk-based gates
Block releases only where risk and confidence justify it; route lower-risk findings into owned remediation workflows.
Short-lived identity
Prefer workload and federated identity over static credentials and scope every source, runner, environment, and deployment action.
Evidence as pipeline output
Produce test, scan, approval, artefact, provenance, deployment, and configuration records automatically for each release.
Quality and control / 07
Production requirements are part of the build.
Secure by design
Identity, permissions, secrets, data boundaries, dependencies, change controls, and recovery are addressed throughout delivery.
Observable operation
Metrics, logs, traces, quality, cost, failures, and service outcomes are made visible and actionable.
Reproducible delivery
Configuration, tests, infrastructure, pipelines, artefacts, changes, and recovery procedures are versioned and repeatable.
Delivery / 08
A controlled path from requirement to operation.
Discover
Clarify the objective, users, systems, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Architect
Define the target design, interfaces, controls, migration or delivery sequence, and operating model.
Deliver and validate
Implement in controlled increments with testing, review, documentation, observability, and stakeholder validation.
Operate and improve
Establish ownership, service controls, measurement, support, and a prioritised improvement backlog.
Typical deliverables
DevSecOps maturity, workflow, tooling, and risk assessment
Secure delivery architecture, policy, ownership, and roadmap
Integrated source, dependency, secret, artefact, infrastructure, and application checks
Identity, approval, exception, remediation, and evidence workflows
Security dashboards, service mapping, metrics, and operational feedback
Developer guidance, runbooks, governance, and handover documentation
Engagement models / 09
Use the delivery structure that matches the work.
Assessment and roadmap
A bounded evidence review, target direction, prioritised risks, and executable next-stage plan.
Fixed-scope delivery
A defined implementation, migration, prototype, procurement, or transformation outcome with acceptance criteria.
Embedded specialists
Specialists working alongside internal product, engineering, data, operations, security, or procurement teams.
Managed lifecycle
Ongoing ownership, maintenance, monitoring, supplier coordination, reliability, security, and improvement.

FAQ
DevSecOps services
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
01Will security checks slow every release?
Will security checks slow every release?
They should not. We optimise feedback speed, run checks at the appropriate stage, cache or parallelise work, use risk-based gates, and keep lower-risk findings in managed remediation workflows.
02Can Rokad work with our existing security tools?
Can Rokad work with our existing security tools?
Yes. We assess coverage, signal quality, integration, ownership, workflow, cost, and duplication before adding or replacing tools.
03How are false positives handled?
How are false positives handled?
Findings are enriched with asset, path, reachability, context, severity, and ownership. Exceptions require reason, scope, expiry, approval, and review rather than permanent suppression.
04Does DevSecOps replace penetration testing?
Does DevSecOps replace penetration testing?
No. Continuous engineering controls reduce recurring risk, while independent penetration testing and specialised reviews remain valuable for defined scopes and threat scenarios.
Cloud and DevOps
Make secure delivery the supported path, not a separate compliance exercise.
Rokad can assess the current workflow, integrate practical controls, improve remediation ownership, and automate security evidence.
