DevSecOps in the Pipeline
Security integrated into your delivery cycle — from commit to deploy. Complete pipeline, automated gates, and culture that scales — on a single reference page.
Overview
Berghem's DevSecOps pillar covers the entire development cycle — from DSOMM maturity diagnosis to integrated CI/CD pipeline, through automated controls (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, Secrets, Container) and the Security Champions program that scales culture without becoming a bottleneck.
It's not about tools — it's about integration. Each engagement starts from your real stack (CI/CD, runtimes, registries, IaC), selects open source or commercial tools based on context, configures progressive gates per environment, and installs a continuous improvement rhythm measured by MTTR, escape rate, and build pass-through.
Everything included
Program and Maturity
Three fronts to unlock real DevSecOps — from DSOMM maturity baseline to integrated pipeline and the cultural program that scales security per squad.
Maturity Assessment
Diagnosis against OWASP DSOMM 4.0 across 6 dimensions — Build, Deploy, Test, Culture, Strategy, and Operate. We deliver a scorecard, gap analysis per control, and prioritized roadmap from L2 → L3.
Secure CI/CD Pipeline
SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, IaC, and secrets management integrated into your CI/CD — with configurable gates per environment (block in prod, warn in dev) and false positive tuning.
Security Champions
Structured champions program per squad with belts L1 to L3, 2-week rotation, OKRs, hands-on training, and threat modeling workshops. Culture that scales without becoming a security bottleneck.
Controls in the Pipeline
Six controls integrated into CI/CD — per-environment policy, automatic audit evidence, and risk-based prioritization. End-to-end coverage from code to deploy.
SAST — Static Analysis
Static analysis with Semgrep, CodeQL, or equivalent, custom rules for your stack, prioritized findings, baseline per repository, and PR review integration.
DAST — Dynamic Analysis
ZAP, Burp Suite, or Nuclei against staging environments — OWASP Top 10 coverage, API testing, and authenticated scanning with maintained sessions.
SCA — Dependencies & CVEs
Trivy, OSV-Scanner, and Dependency-Track — severity-based policy, tracked exceptions, and EPSS for risk-based prioritization, not just CVSS.
IaC — Infrastructure as Code
Checkov, tfsec, or Terrascan on Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, and Kubernetes — validation against CIS Benchmarks and internal policies via OPA / Conftest.
Secrets — Secrets Management
Leaked secret detection with Gitleaks and TruffleHog in pre-commit and CI, integration with Vault and AWS Secrets Manager, and automatic credential rotation.
Container & SBOM
Image scanning with Trivy or Grype, signing with Cosign, CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM, SLSA attestations, and admission controllers for Kubernetes — aligned with Executive Order 14028.
