Best for

  • SAST/DAST tool integration into existing Jenkins or GitLab CI pipelines
  • Container image vulnerability scanning with Trivy/Grype in Kubernetes deployments
  • Infrastructure-as-Code security policy enforcement using OPA/Rego quality gates
  • Secrets detection automation with GitLeaks pre-commit hooks and pipeline stages
  • Multi-tool security findings aggregation into DefectDojo or ASPM platforms

What you'll get

  • Multi-stage pipeline YAML with pre-commit hooks, build-time SAST integration, container scanning, and OPA policy enforcement with specific tool configurations
  • Policy-as-code Rego definitions with quality gate thresholds, exception workflows, and compliance mapping for SOC 2 controls
  • Tool selection matrix comparing SAST/DAST/SCA options with integration complexity, cost analysis, and team adoption recommendations
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Manual penetration testing or red team assessments
  • ×Security incident response or forensics investigation
  • ×Compliance audit preparation without pipeline integration
  • ×Basic vulnerability scanning without CI/CD automation
Expects

Current CI/CD pipeline configuration (YAML/Groovy), technology stack details, security tool preferences, and team maturity level for DevSecOps adoption.

Returns

Complete pipeline architecture with stage-specific tool configurations, policy-as-code definitions, quality gate criteria, and actionable implementation roadmap with YAML examples.
