Build security into your development pipeline without killing delivery speed.
A focused review of development and CI/CD practices to identify where security checks, release controls, scanning, and developer-friendly guardrails should be improved.
Starting Price
USD $7,000 / CAD $8,500
Typical Timeline
10 to 20 business days
Engagement Snapshot
Best For
Software teams that want security built into delivery without slowing everything down
Primary Outcome
A practical DevSecOps and secure SDLC improvement roadmap
Standard Scope
Up to 3 repositories, one CI/CD platform, one primary cloud or deployment environment
Key Exclusions
No full pipeline rebuild, hands-on remediation, or application penetration testing
The Problem
Security issues become more expensive when they are found late.
Security issues become more expensive when they are found late. This engagement reviews how code moves from idea to production and identifies where lightweight, practical controls can reduce risk without creating unnecessary friction for developers. Many teams are delivering quickly but have gaps in secrets handling, dependency scanning, release gates, and code review controls that increase exposure without being visible in day-to-day work.

The Process
How this engagement works
Fit Call
We confirm the tech stack, pipeline tools, team size, and main security concerns.
Scope Confirmation
Repositories, platforms, access, deliverables, and timeline are agreed upon.
Access and Interviews
Repository and pipeline access is provided. Developer and security stakeholder interviews are completed.
Pipeline Review
The development and delivery pipeline is reviewed across the agreed scope and findings are prioritized.
Roadmap and Handoff
Report and roadmap are delivered. Walkthrough call covers findings and the most impactful next steps.
Who This Is For
For software teams that want to ship securely without creating developer friction
This engagement is a strong fit for software teams that are shipping regularly but have not formalized their approach to security in the development and release process. It works well for teams where security has been an afterthought, where secrets management is inconsistent, where dependency vulnerabilities accumulate without a review process, or where there are no formal release gates to catch security issues before production.
It is also useful for CTOs and engineering leaders who want an independent review of the current state and a practical roadmap for improvement before committing to a larger DevSecOps program.
Pricing note: Pricing shown is starting pricing for standard-scope engagements. Final pricing depends on environment size, number of systems, complexity, urgency, and any requested work outside the standard scope.
These starter engagements are intentionally scoped to produce useful outcomes without turning into open-ended consulting projects. If your environment is larger, more complex, or requires hands-on implementation, SullySoft can provide a separate estimate before any additional work begins.
