Security-First Engineering
Ship Fast Without Breaking Security
We embed security into your CI/CD pipelines so your team ships confidently—without security reviews becoming a bottleneck.
Our Approach
How We Actually Work
You know who has your code. We implement alongside your team, transfer knowledge throughout, and ensure you own the system when we're done.
- Hands-On Implementation
- We configure your pipelines, write your security policies, and implement controls alongside your team.
- Complete Knowledge Transfer
- Comprehensive documentation, team training, and 30-day support post-handoff.
- Right-Sized Solutions
- We build for where you are now with foundations that scale. No over-engineering, no technical debt.
What We Do
Our Core Services
We build secure infrastructure and pipelines your team can maintain. From CI/CD security to SOC 2 readiness, we implement and hand off—no ongoing dependency.
- Engineering Excellence
-
Transform engineering operations with platform maturity and DORA metrics.
Reduce operational toil, improve deployment frequency, and build self-service platforms. DORA metrics assessments, platform engineering implementations, and team health programs.
- DevSecOps
-
Embed security into your CI/CD pipeline without slowing development.
Integrate automated security into your DevOps workflows. From securing Kubernetes and Terraform to implementing robust security controls in CI/CD pipelines, we help your team ship secure code fast.
- Cloud Services
-
Build secure, cost-optimized cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Design and optimize cloud environments that scale seamlessly, stay secure, and control costs. We ensure your architecture is built for security, resilience, and efficiency from day one.
- Fractional CTO
-
Get executive-level technology and security leadership on demand.
Strategic technology leadership without hiring full-time. From architecting scalable infrastructure to building secure development processes and guiding technical roadmaps.
- CPCSC Compliance
-
We help you prepare for your audit.
Control mapping, evidence planning, and readiness support to reach CPCSC requirements without slowing delivery.

From our consulting clients
Nelson did a great job at figuring out numerous things specific to our setup, resolving unforeseen problems as they arose. He provided further guidance and advice on things outside of the original scope as well.
Their understanding and experience with the AWS suite of products and solutions were impressive.
All of our VMs and databases have been deployed without issue. The structured setup has been very robust.
A project manager was assigned to the project and put in charge of monitoring deliverables and communication. Pilotcore always delivered on time on the items assigned to them and was always responsive to inquiries and requests.

Questions We Often Hear
"How is this different from working with an offshore team?"
You know exactly who's working on your systems. No anonymous contractors, no unclear data handling, no wondering who has access to your code. For companies pursuing SOC 2 or handling sensitive data, that matters. We're a small team you meet directly, operating under Canadian privacy law, with full transparency about who touches your infrastructure.
"Can't our team just figure this out?"
Absolutely, if you have senior security architecture expertise, spare capacity, and experience with your specific compliance framework. Many teams we work with tried the DIY approach first. They came to us when they realized the opportunity cost of pulling engineers off product work, or when their first audit revealed gaps they didn't know to look for. We help compress the learning curve through our specialized experience.
"We're not ready to commit to a large engagement yet"
Fair. That's why we offer pilot programs - focused 1-4 week engagements that demonstrate our expertise and deliver real value. You see how we work, we assess fit, and then you decide if a larger engagement makes sense. No pressure to commit beyond the pilot.
