Our DevSecOps Testing Framework
Define DevSecOps Objectives & Risk Scope
Start by evaluating the current state of DevSecOps proficiency of your organization and identifying the most important risk factors such as vulnerabilities caused by unauthorized tools or messy code production. Adapt your simulation to a unique environment, level of development, or compliance standards observed in your organization. In this manner, the technical and business goals of your organization are being met by the test.
Deploy Realistic, Controlled Threat Scenarios
Carry out mock DevSecOps attacks such as dependency tampering, exposed secrets, and poor privilege handling without touching on production systems. These imitations show the miscreants’ potential to compromise your development and deployment process in a real attack. Each simulation is by nature a virtual exercise and cannot cause disruption in any real sense of infrastructure or data.
Evaluate Detection, Response & Team Coordination
Check how effective your secured tools are, including code scanning, SIEM alerts, and runtime protection. Listen to how security, DevOps, and developers collaborate when under pressure. Focus: Find out gaps in the detection and make the joint security response more efficient.
Deliver Actionable Fixes & Strengthen CI/CD Security
Following the simulation, we provide an extensive report that identifies central security risks, proposes coding best practices, and includes a list for misconfiguration corrections. Our recommendation covers areas from access controls to securing the CI/CD pipeline. Adhering to these recommendations, you strengthen your security processes and dramatically minimize the risk of real-world breaches.
Stages of DevSecOps Simulation
Code Commit Stage
Security checks start at the source. Validate code integrity and scan for secrets, misconfigurations, and known vulnerabilities.
Build & Test Stage
Automated security testing is integrated into your CI pipeline to catch issues during the build phase and early testing.
Staging & Pre-Prod
Environment-specific configurations are assessed for exposure. Simulated attacks are performed to verify security controls.
Production Push
Security gates confirm policies are enforced before code reaches production. Final validation to ensure compliance and readiness.
Security Posture Analysis
Analyze security metrics, incident responses, and performance data to improve the overall security posture.

Engages Dev, Sec, and Ops teams in unified simulations that refine communication and speed up incident response.
Evaluates and scores threats based on real-world exploitability and organizational impact, enabling focused risk management.
Provides deep-dive reports with both technical and executive-level takeaways for improved strategic planning.
DevSecOps Threat Vectors Addressed
Insecure Code Commits – Pushing code with hardcoded credentials, vulnerabilities, or poor validation that exposes the application to threats.
Credential Leakage in Repositories – Accidentally storing passwords, tokens, or API keys in version control systems like Git.
Unvalidated Open Source Dependencies – Using third-party libraries without verifying their security can potentially introduce exploitable code.
Misconfigured CI/CD Tools – Weak pipeline configurations that allow unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or insecure deployments.
Insufficient Logging & Monitoring – Lack of proper audit trails and real-time alerts delays breach detection and response.
Improper Access Controls in DevOps Tools – Over-permissive roles or a lack of role-based access in tools like Jenkins, Docker, or Kubernetes.
Artifact Repository Exploits – Uploading or using tampered build artifacts from insecure or unauthenticated repositories.
Secrets in Environment Variables – Storing sensitive data in plaintext within environment variables that can be easily accessed or leaked.
