🔒 Security as Code

Security built into every deploy

I implement DevSecOps: automated security checks right inside your CI/CD, infrastructure hardening, secrets management and threat monitoring. Protection stops being a "later" — it becomes part of the pipeline.

What usually goes wrong

These gaps show up in almost every project without a proper DevSecOps setup

🔑

Secrets live in the code

API keys, passwords and tokens end up in git, env files and docker images. One public commit and access to production systems leaks out for good.

😶

Vulnerabilities ship to prod

Dependencies with known CVEs and insecure code get deployed without a single check. You find out only after a breach — or a message from a "friendly" stranger.

🚧

Servers run on defaults

Open ports, default passwords, root over SSH, no firewall, no updates. The infrastructure is an easy target for automated scanning bots.

👀

Nobody sees what's happening

No centralized logs, alerts or access auditing. Attacks are noticed weeks later, and reconstructing the incident timeline is already impossible.

📝

Failed audits and compliance

Clients and regulators demand ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS, but you have neither the processes nor the evidence. Deals and contracts fall through.

An incident means chaos

When something is breached or goes down, there's no plan, no owners, no backups. The team firefights by hand while downtime is counted in hours and lost revenue.

Services

The full DevSecOps cycle — from assessing where you are to automated protection in production

// 01

Secure CI/CD

I embed automated security checks into your pipeline. Vulnerable code and dependencies never reach production — they're caught at build time.

  • SAST — static code analysis (Semgrep, CodeQL)
  • SCA — dependency CVE scanning (Trivy, Snyk)
  • DAST and image scanning before deploy
  • Security gates in GitLab CI / GitHub Actions
Secure the pipeline
// 02

Infrastructure hardening

I bring servers and networks up to proven security benchmarks. Close the unnecessary, tighten access, enable automatic updates.

  • Configuration to CIS Benchmarks
  • Firewall, fail2ban, SSH without passwords or root
  • Data encryption and TLS certificates
  • Service isolation and network segmentation
Harden infrastructure
// 03

Security audit & pentest

I find the weak spots before attackers do. I check infrastructure, configurations and applications, and hand you a prioritized fix plan.

  • External scanning and penetration testing
  • Audit of configurations, access and permissions
  • Threat modeling for your project
  • A report with priorities and clear next steps
Request an audit
// 04

Secrets management

I move passwords and keys out of code and configs into a secure vault. Secrets rotate automatically and are issued only to who needs them.

  • HashiCorp Vault / SOPS implementation
  • Cleaning secrets out of git history
  • Automatic key and token rotation
  • Least-privilege access by design
Fix secrets handling
// 05

Container & k8s security

I make Docker and Kubernetes secure: minimal images, policies, runtime control. The cluster stops being an open door.

  • Image scanning and signing
  • Network Policies and RBAC in Kubernetes
  • Pod Security Standards and admission control
  • Runtime protection and anomaly detection
Secure the cluster
// 06

Monitoring & response

I set up observability and incident response. Suspicious activity is visible immediately, and there's a ready plan and backups for the worst case.

  • Centralized logs and alerts (Grafana, Loki)
  • Intrusion and anomaly detection
  • Incident response (IR) plan
  • Backups and a tested disaster recovery
Set up monitoring

How I work

Security as a continuous process, not a one-time checkbox

01

Assess

I review your current infrastructure and pipeline, find the weak spots and build a threat model for your project

02

Plan & prioritize

I fix what's critical to close first. Transparent estimate and timeline, no hidden extras

03

Implement

I embed checks into CI/CD, harden infrastructure, set up secrets and monitoring. In sprints, with demos

04

Sustain

I hand over documentation, train the team and stay available. Protection keeps working without me

Frequently asked

DevOps speeds up delivery, but security is often left "for later". DevSecOps embeds security checks into the same pipeline: vulnerabilities are caught automatically at build time instead of surfacing after a breach. Protection becomes part of the process, not a separate project.

No. I start with an audit and roll changes out gradually without stopping the business. Security gates run in report-only mode first, and only then move to blocking. Every step is agreed and reversible.

Yes. I build the technical processes and controls the standards require and help you gather the evidence: logs, policies, access and secrets management. That removes most of the pain of passing an audit.

Audit from €700, full DevSecOps implementation from €2,000, ongoing support from €900/month. The exact price is fixed after a free express audit. You pay for results in stages — no hourly "meter".

A quick external scan and high-level review: open ports, obvious misconfigurations, outdated dependencies and weak spots in your deploy process. You get a short report with the top risks — even if we don't work together afterwards.

Yes — AWS, GCP, Azure, as well as your own servers and bare metal. The stack is open and portable, with no lock-in to a single provider.
