Security in IT projects

The cost of fixing a security defect grows with every phase: trivial in a design meeting, expensive in a sprint, painful after launch, potentially catastrophic in production. Yet in most projects security appears at the end, as a test that “needs to pass”. We move it to the beginning and throughout the project — “shift-left” — with clear checkpoints, so a new system doesn’t become next year’s incident.

How we work

We integrate security into the development lifecycle (secure SDLC), following recognised models — OWASP SAMM and ASVS, NIST SSDF:

• Requirements — security and privacy requirements (including data protection by design), abuse cases, compliance obligations; OWASP ASVS as a measurable target, not a vague “secure application”
• Design — architecture review and threat modelling, as a formal gate before build
• Development — secure coding standards (OWASP Top 10), plus scanning integrated into the pipeline: SAST, dependencies (SCA), secrets, IaC
• Testing — DAST, security test cases and penetration testing before launch
• Release and operations — hardening, IaC scanning, patching, monitoring

What you get

• Security requirements specification and a per-project acceptance criterion
• Threat model and design review approval
• Secure coding guides and CI/CD security gate configuration
• Test results (SAST/DAST/SCA/pentest), with remediation tracking
• A security go / no-go assessment for launch
