DevSecOps & Secure Software
Ship Secure Code 3x Faster Without Trade-offs
Stop choosing between speed and security. Our DevSecOps approach catches vulnerabilities early, automates compliance, and actually accelerates your development cycle.
Security Automation for Modern Dev Teams
Transform security from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage. We help SaaS companies and dev teams embed security without sacrificing speed.
- Prevent Costly Security Breaches
- One breach can destroy customer trust and cost millions. We integrate automated security testing, vulnerability scanning, and secure coding practices directly into your CI/CD pipeline to catch threats before production. Average breach cost for SMBs: $3.86M
- Accelerate Secure Development
- Security doesn't have to slow you down. Our automated security gates and streamlined workflows actually speed up development by catching issues early, reducing rework, and eliminating security bottlenecks. Deploy 3x faster with security built-in
- Control Security Costs While Scaling
- Avoid the expensive mistake of retrofitting security later. Our approach builds security infrastructure that scales with your growth, preventing costly rework and reducing the need for expensive security specialists. 70% lower security costs vs. fixing later
- Achieve Compliance Without the Complexity
- SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA - compliance is non-negotiable for growth. We build compliant DevSecOps pipelines with automated controls, audit trails, and documentation that make certifications straightforward. 90% faster compliance certification

How DevSecOps Becomes Your Competitive Edge
While competitors scramble with security issues, DevSecOps teams are shipping secure features faster. Here's what separates the leaders from the laggards.
3x Faster Deployments
DevSecOps teams deploy 3x more frequently because security checks are automated, not manual bottlenecks.
Ship features while competitors wait for security reviews
Developer Velocity
Catch vulnerabilities in minutes, not months. Developers fix issues in context while code is fresh.
70% less time on security rework
Enterprise-Ready
Built-in compliance controls mean SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR are achievable in weeks, not months.
Close enterprise deals 90% faster
The Security Gap
Traditional teams: Find vulnerabilities in production. DevSecOps teams: Prevent them from ever shipping.
60% fewer production incidents
Premium Positioning
Security-certified SaaS companies command 20% higher prices and lower churn rates.
Turn security into a revenue driver
Scale Confidently
Security infrastructure that grows with you. No expensive retrofitting as you scale.
Build once, scale infinitely
Join the leaders. Build security into your competitive advantage.

Success Stories from Dev Teams
SaaS Platform "Our staging environment was set up in its entirety in AWS, including ECS, CloudFront, load balancing, Fargate, cron jobs, etc. Our app was 100% functional in the new infrastructure."
Gregory Sparrow
Engineering Lead
Software Development "Nelson was awesome to work with. He came in and became a great partner to our lead engineer, helped architect a sustainable solution, and then handed over everything smoothly."
Trevor Wolfe
CTO
Mobility Platform "The cloud migration was a success and did not impact production operations. Infrastructure is now managed via code, and the internal development team was empowered to extend."

Why Pilotcore for DevSecOps
What Makes Us Different
Most DevSecOps consultants give you strategy decks and leave. We roll up our sleeves and implement alongside your team, ensuring knowledge transfer and sustainable practices.
- Hands-On Implementation
- We don't just advise - we configure your pipelines, write security policies, and implement controls. Your team learns by doing, not by reading reports.
- SMB & Startup Focus
- We understand budget constraints and rapid growth challenges. Our solutions scale with you, starting lean and expanding as needed.
- Speed + Security Balance
- 25+ years proving that security can accelerate development. We know which controls are critical and which are bureaucratic overhead.
Pilotcore made a number of suggestions about architecture which greatly improved security and redundancy.
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.
The attention to detail and commitment to the process is admirable.
Their understanding and experience with the AWS suite of products and solutions were impressive.
Nelson quickly understood our requirements and made it extremely easy to get started with the project. He delivered the project on time and with excellent documentation.
Workflow has been great. We generally hold a few meetings as needed and communicate via Slack otherwise.
The cloud migration was a success and did not impact production operations. Infrastructure is now managed via code, and the internal development team was empowered to extend and add to the code base.
Dedication and willingness to go the extra mile even when challenges came up on our end.
The project was delivered on time, and the agreed-upon scope was implemented fully.
Nelson was awesome to work with. He came in and became a great partner to our lead engineer, helped architect a sustainable solution, and then handed over everything smoothly. Great communicator and his senior experience helps get things done right the first time.
The level of competence was obvious after just a single meeting.
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.
Our staging environment was set up in its entirety in AWS, including ECS, CloudFront, load balancing, Fargate, cron jobs, etc. Our app was 100% functional in the new infrastructure.
All of our VMs and databases have been deployed without issue. The structured setup has been very robust.
