Ship Secure Code, Stay Compliant from Day One
We integrate security into every stage of your development lifecycle and ensure compliance with EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
Security and Compliance, Built Into Your Pipeline
Regulatory pressure is rising. The EU AI Act is now in force. GDPR enforcement fines exceeded 4 billion euros in 2025. Companies shipping AI products or handling EU citizen data need security and compliance baked into their infrastructure, not bolted on after launch.
Shift-Left Security for Regulated Industries
- Catch vulnerabilities before they reach production, not after a regulator finds them
- Reduce remediation costs by up to 80% compared to post-deployment fixes
Automated Compliance Checks in CI/CD
- Policy gates that block non-compliant deployments automatically
- Continuous compliance evidence generation for audit readiness
What We Offer
Automated SAST/DAST Scanning
Static and dynamic application security testing embedded directly into your CI/CD pipelines. We configure Snyk, SonarQube, Semgrep, and OWASP ZAP to catch issues before they ship.
Container Image Security
Vulnerability scanning for Docker images and Kubernetes workloads. We implement Trivy, Aqua Security, and runtime protection policies to secure your container supply chain.
Secrets Management
Centralized secrets rotation and access control using HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault. No more credentials in code or environment variables.
Compliance-as-Code
Policy-as-code frameworks for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and EU AI Act. We use Open Policy Agent, Checkov, and custom Terraform policies to enforce compliance at the infrastructure layer.
Infrastructure Security Hardening
CIS benchmark implementation across cloud environments. Network segmentation, IAM hardening, encryption at rest and in transit, and GDPR-compliant data residency patterns.
Incident Response Planning
GDPR-compliant breach notification workflows, runbooks for common attack scenarios, and automated alerting chains. Meet the 72-hour breach notification requirement with confidence.
Compliance Frameworks We Support
EU AI Act
Risk classification documentation, transparency requirements, human oversight controls, and data governance for high-risk AI systems. We design infrastructure that satisfies the Act from the ground up.
GDPR
Data residency enforcement, consent management infrastructure, right-to-erasure automation, and data processing agreements embedded into your cloud architecture.
SOC 2
Continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, and access review workflows. We help you pass SOC 2 Type II audits without scrambling.
HIPAA
PHI encryption, access logging, BAA-ready infrastructure, and automated compliance checks for healthcare and health-tech companies.
EU-Based AI Startup: GDPR and AI Act Compliance
A Series A AI company needed to meet both GDPR and the incoming EU AI Act requirements before launching their product in three EU markets. We designed their infrastructure and CI/CD pipeline from scratch with compliance built in.
- Achieved GDPR compliance across all three target markets within 60 days
- Implemented AI Act risk classification and documentation for high-risk system
- Reduced vulnerability resolution time by 70% with automated SAST/DAST in CI/CD
- Full audit trail and compliance evidence generation automated for investor due diligence
FAQ
DevSecOps & Compliance Questions
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps integrates security into every step of the development and deployment pipeline rather than bolting it on at the end. Static analysis runs on every PR. Dependency scanning runs on every build. Container images are scanned before deployment. Infrastructure is audited as code. The result is fewer security incidents and a shorter path to compliance.
Do you help with EU AI Act compliance?
Yes. The EU AI Act came into force in 2024 and applies to anyone shipping AI products to EU users. We implement model risk classification, automated bias and drift monitoring with audit trails, training data provenance, and the technical documentation required for high-risk system disclosures. We work with both Annex III and general-purpose AI obligations.
What about GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2?
All three. GDPR requires data residency, right to erasure, and DPO-grade audit trails. HIPAA requires PHI encryption, access logging, and BAAs. SOC 2 requires control frameworks across security, availability, and confidentiality. We have shipped compliant infrastructure for each, and we have shipped systems carrying multiple at once.
What security tools do you use in pipelines?
Snyk and Trivy for dependency and container scanning. SonarQube and Semgrep for SAST. OWASP ZAP for DAST. HashiCorp Vault for secret management. OPA for policy as code. AWS Security Hub or Azure Defender for cloud config drift. We pick from this set based on the existing stack and avoid duplication.
How long does a DevSecOps engagement take?
An audit and initial security gap analysis takes 2 weeks. Implementing CI/CD security gates and dependency scanning across an existing codebase typically runs 4 to 8 weeks. Full compliance work (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 readiness) is a 3 to 6 month engagement depending on existing maturity.
Do you work with non-EU companies too?
Yes. About half of our DevSecOps work is for EU companies (driven by the AI Act and GDPR fines that exceeded 4 billion euros in 2025). The other half is US healthcare (HIPAA), SaaS preparing for SOC 2 audits, and KSA-based clients building toward PDPL compliance.
How does DevSecOps pricing work?
DevSecOps is delivered through our two engagement patterns: Managed Engineering Pod from $10,000/m (full team with security baked into every sprint) or Embedded Senior DevOps from $2,500/m (senior engineer with compliance experience placed with your team). HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 audit-readiness support included where applicable.
