Code
Secure coding and code scanning
We align secure coding practices, static analysis, secrets detection, remediation ownership, and developer-friendly feedback loops.
Software Security Consulting
DevSecOps and Secure Software Supply Chain
GS Consulting helps federal and enterprise software teams strengthen secure development pipelines, code scanning, dependency management, CI/CD controls, SBOM practices, deployment gates, and production monitoring.
Software Risk
Delivery speed cannot outrun software assurance
Modern teams ship through complex pipelines that include open source dependencies, cloud infrastructure, containers, build systems, secrets, approvals, and production telemetry. Security has to be built into that delivery model instead of added after release.
Service Outcome
Secure pipelines that teams can actually operate
We help software, platform, cyber, and compliance leaders define practical DevSecOps controls that reduce supply chain risk while keeping development teams productive and release workflows predictable.
Delivery Model
From source code to monitored production systems
Secure software delivery improves when controls are embedded into the pipeline, tied to risk, and supported by evidence that engineering, security, and compliance teams can use.
Step 1
Map the delivery pipeline
Document repositories, build systems, CI/CD workflows, environments, dependencies, deployment paths, approvals, and production monitoring touchpoints.
Step 2
Assess code and dependency risk
Review SAST, SCA, secret scanning, container scanning, vulnerability triage, dependency policy, package sources, and remediation workflows.
Step 3
Define CI/CD control gates
Align scan thresholds, policy exceptions, release approvals, artifact signing, access controls, and evidence capture to the risk of each application.
Step 4
Strengthen SBOM and artifact practices
Build practical SBOM, provenance, artifact inventory, version tracking, and third-party component processes that support audits and incident response.
Step 5
Connect operations feedback
Use production monitoring, incident patterns, vulnerability intelligence, and deployment metrics to improve controls and developer workflows over time.
Secure Delivery Capabilities
What DevSecOps and Secure Software Supply Chain Includes
Dependencies
Dependency and open source risk
We help teams manage software composition analysis, vulnerable packages, license concerns, approved sources, and upgrade workflows.
Pipeline
CI/CD security controls
We design pipeline gates for scanning, approvals, artifact handling, deployment promotion, environment separation, and evidence capture.
SBOM
SBOM and software inventory
We establish SBOM practices that connect components, versions, artifacts, owners, release history, and vulnerability response needs.
Access
Build and release access controls
We review repository access, privileged build roles, service accounts, secret handling, branch protections, and release authority.
Operations
Production monitoring feedback
We connect runtime signals, incident findings, deployment health, vulnerability intelligence, and remediation metrics back into engineering.
Secure Delivery Signals
Where DevSecOps improves software supply chain risk
Use cases and readiness gaps are paired so engineering and security leaders can see where pipeline controls, dependency visibility, and production feedback will reduce delivery risk.
DevSecOps Use Cases
Secure software workflows to strengthen
Secure code review, SAST findings, secrets detection, and developer remediation workflows
Dependency scanning, open source package policy, vulnerable component triage, and approved source management
CI/CD gates, release approvals, artifact promotion, rollback criteria, and environment separation
SBOM generation, software inventory, artifact provenance, and audit evidence capture
Repository access, build permissions, service account controls, branch protections, and secret management
Production monitoring, deployment health, vulnerability response, and incident feedback into engineering priorities
Readiness Gaps
Signals the delivery model needs attention
Security findings arrive late in the release cycle and create delays instead of clear engineering action
Teams lack reliable inventories of applications, components, containers, artifacts, or deployed versions
Dependency vulnerabilities are difficult to prioritize because ownership, exploitability, and exposure are unclear
Build, repository, or deployment permissions are broader than needed and hard to audit
Compliance evidence depends on manual screenshots, disconnected spreadsheets, or after-the-fact documentation
Production incidents and vulnerability intelligence do not consistently feed back into pipeline controls
