SECOPS / SECURITY ENGINEERING & COMPLIANCE
Build security into how
your systems run
and change.
Implemented controls, practical remediation, and clearer ownership across development and operations—not just a list of findings.
Talk to an engineer
01 / WHEN TO BRING US IN
When findings need engineering, not forwarding.
Security gaps remain unresolved.
Your team needs help turning assessment findings into changes in the running environment.
Checks sit outside development.
Code and dependency risks need a place in delivery, with clear responsibility for remediation.
Updates feel risky.
Patches need repeatable evaluation, testing, and staged rollout instead of a growing backlog.
Compliance needs implementation.
SOC 2 readiness depends on configured integrations, documented controls, and evidence—not only policies.
02 / WHAT WE DO
Security work, integrated into delivery.
Cloud & runtime security
Assess the environment, implement security tooling, and address findings in running systems. Agree on coverage, monitoring responsibilities, and escalation paths.
SCOPE
Security engineering and compliance support. Managed round-the-clock detection and incident response require a separately agreed scope.
Secure software delivery
Integrate code and dependency scanning, introduce security checks, and make remediation part of development with clear owners and reviewable changes.
IN PRACTICE
Tooling changes have included SonarQube and GitHub dependency scanning. Replacing a tool alone does not prove equivalent security coverage.
Vulnerability & patch workflows
Improve how updates are evaluated, tested, and deployed, including canary upgrade workflows. Use AI-assisted investigation where helpful, with engineering review and explicit rollout decisions.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
HolmesGPT supported canary version-upgrade workflows and patching. It complements engineering judgment; it is not an autonomous security guarantee.
Compliance engineering
Configure Vanta integrations, assess existing controls, document gaps, implement remediation, and support SOC 2 readiness and evidence collection.
PROJECT EVIDENCE
Vanta-supported SOC 2 Type I readiness work across two ongoing clients. Independent attestation or completed reports are not established.
03 / WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
Controls that work. Ownership that is clear.
Prioritized remediation
An actionable backlog tied to findings, risks, implementation work, and accountable owners.
Implemented safeguards
Working security checks, configured tooling, and tested vulnerability and patch workflows.
Readiness evidence
Documented controls, collected evidence, and a practical handover for continued operation.
04 / ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE
Readiness backed by implementation.
In an ongoing software-business engagement, Vanta setup and integrations were paired with assessment, documented findings, and mitigation work to support SOC 2 Type I readiness. Security improvements were implemented alongside the platform work, not handed off as a separate checklist.
Configured integrations. Documented gaps. Engineering remediation and evidence collection.
Read the cloud costs & releases case study →Readiness work is not certification or independent attestation. Tool transitions and vendor savings are not measures of security effectiveness.
RELATED PROJECT
Building-materials producer: Vanta-supported readiness and remediation formed part of the continuing engineering relationship.
05 / HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
From first assessment to shared ownership.
Discover
Review the environment, findings, existing controls, and the requirements driving the work.
Architect
Define the control approach, remediation priorities, evidence needs, and accountable owners.
Build
Implement controls alongside your engineers, validate behavior, and document the work.
Enable
Hand over evidence and operating practices, with clear responsibility for ongoing remediation.
Focused assessment, implementation project, or ongoing embedded engineering. The model follows the work.
06 / PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Start with what you already have.
Can you work with our existing stack?
Yes. We assess the current cloud, delivery, and security tooling before recommending changes. Tool selection follows the actual risks and operating model.
How do you work with our internal team?
We collaborate in your workflows, share decisions, and build with the people who will maintain the result.
Can you stay involved after delivery?
Yes, through an agreed ongoing engagement. Continuous monitoring, incident response, and coverage hours must be explicitly scoped; they are not implied by the service name.
How is scope established?
We establish the environment, risks, compliance objectives, and ownership first, then agree on implementation deliverables and evidence requirements. Independent audit work remains separate.
