DevSecOps Implementation
Ship Secure Code 3x Faster Without Compromising Quality
Stop treating security as a bottleneck. Our DevSecOps implementation embeds automated security testing into your development workflow—catch vulnerabilities early, deploy with confidence.
DevSecOps Services for Modern Development Teams
Security automation that accelerates development instead of slowing it down. Our DevSecOps practice brings you:
- Security Pipeline Implementation
- We integrate security testing directly into your CI/CD workflow so vulnerabilities are caught before production. Your team ships faster because security runs automatically, not manually.
- Deployment Security & Acceleration
- We build security gates that accelerate rather than block deployments. Our clients deploy 3-5x more frequently while meeting enterprise security requirements.
- Compliance Infrastructure & Certification
- We build SOC 2, CMMC, and CPCSC controls into your infrastructure and automate evidence collection. You stay audit-ready without manual documentation overhead.
- Production Security & Incident Response
- We implement continuous monitoring and automated threat detection so you catch issues in production fast. Reduce MTTR by 8x with proper alerting and response playbooks.

CISSP, AWS Security & DevOps Certified
Nelson Ford
DevSecOps Architect & Security Practice Lead
CISSP-certified DevSecOps architect with 25+ years building secure development pipelines for high-velocity engineering teams. Nelson has helped 90+ teams reduce vulnerabilities by 60-80% while deploying 3-5x more frequently.
The level of competence was obvious after just a single meeting.
Workflow has been great. We generally hold a few meetings as needed and communicate via Slack otherwise.
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.
The project was delivered on time, and the agreed-upon scope was implemented fully.
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.
Pilotcore made a number of suggestions about architecture which greatly improved security and redundancy.
All of our VMs and databases have been deployed without issue. The structured setup has been very robust.
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.
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.
Dedication and willingness to go the extra mile even when challenges came up on our end.
Their understanding and experience with the AWS suite of products and solutions were impressive.
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 attention to detail and commitment to the process is admirable.
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.

Our Process
Step 1: Security Assessment & Gap Analysis
We evaluate your current development pipeline, security posture, and compliance requirements. Identify vulnerabilities, tool gaps, and process bottlenecks blocking secure deployments.
Step 2: DevSecOps Strategy & Tool Selection
Design a security-first pipeline with automated testing, compliance controls, and monitoring. We recommend tools that fit your stack, budget, and team capabilities.
Step 3: Implementation & Automation
Integrate SAST/DAST, container scanning, IaC security, and compliance checks into your CI/CD pipeline. Train your team on tools and processes so they can operate independently.
Step 4: Continuous Improvement & Support
Monitor metrics, optimize tool performance, and expand coverage as your team scales. Ongoing advisory ensures your DevSecOps practice matures with your organization.
