Security engineered intoevery pipeline stage.Shift left. Ship secure.
Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, automate vulnerability detection at every stage, and build a secure software development lifecycle that doesn't slow delivery velocity.
Security at the speed
of development.
Vulnerabilities found in production cost 6× more to fix than those caught at commit time. DevSecOps embeds automated security gates at every CI/CD stage — SAST, SCA, container scanning, IaC analysis, DAST — without adding friction to developer workflows.
Shift-left gates block critical vulns before they ever reach production environments.
Risk scoring and contextual analysis eliminate noise, keeping developer workflows clean.
Fix at commit: 1×. Fix in production: 150×. Spakto catches it at commit.
Every stage from pre-commit hooks to eBPF runtime monitoring is instrumented and gated.
Security gates.
Every stage, every commit.
Pre-Commit
Hooks block secrets, lint violations, and known-vuln deps before any code reaches the repo.
Four scan layers.
Zero blind spots.
Static Application Security Testing
Every dependency.
Every transitive risk.
Modern applications are 80% open-source. SCA scans the full transitive dependency graph, correlating packages against NVD, OSV, and GHSA — blocking vulnerable dependencies before they reach the registry.
Credentials never
reach the repo.
Pre-commit hooks and CI-integrated secrets scanners detect 250+ credential patterns — AWS keys, GCP service accounts, database DSNs, JWTs, and more — with sub-100ms regex and entropy analysis.
Misconfigs caught
before cloud apply.
IaC scanners analyse Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests for misconfigurations pre-deployment — so overly permissive IAM roles, unencrypted storage, and exposed APIs never reach cloud infrastructure.
Audit-ready artefacts. Every build, every commit.
Every CI/CD run produces signed, framework-mapped evidence artefacts in real time — PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST SSDF, and OWASP SAMM — turning compliance from a quarterly scramble into a continuous automated output.
PCI DSS v4.0
Every commit auto-generates signed artefacts mapped to Req 6.2 (bespoke software security) and Req 11.3 (pen-test cadence) — eliminating manual audit evidence collection entirely at assessment time.
Pre-commit hooks scan for secrets and known-vuln deps
SAST + SCA + IaC + container scans run in parallel stages
Framework-mapped artefacts auto-signed with cosign + SLSA L2
SBOM, scan reports, and policy evidence archived immutably
One-click audit package export per framework, per quarter
Context-aware
vulnerability triage.
ML models trained on your codebase learn call-graph reachability, exploitability context, and historical fix patterns — surfacing the 5% of findings that genuinely matter while suppressing the 95% that don't.
ENGINE
DevSecOps built for
engineering teams, not auditors.
Most DevSecOps programmes are compliance-led — the gate blocks everything, developers route around it. Spakto's approach is engineering-led: risk-gated, developer-friendly, and measured by velocity impact, not just findings count.
Pipeline-Native
Security tools run as native pipeline jobs — no external proxies, no API round-trips. Scan results are available before the build artefact leaves CI.
Risk-Gated
Intelligent risk gates block only CRITICAL findings. HIGH/MEDIUM route to backlog with JIRA/Linear tickets. LOW findings are logged, never gate-crashing.
SBOM-First
Every build produces a signed Software Bill of Materials in SPDX and CycloneDX formats — enabling continuous CVE monitoring post-deployment.
Developer UX
Findings surface inside the developer's IDE via LSP plugins and as inline PR comments — eliminating context switches to separate dashboards.
Compliance-Mapped
Every finding is automatically tagged to PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST SSDF, and OWASP SAMM controls — producing audit-ready evidence artefacts.
Velocity-Proof
Parallel scan execution, incremental analysis, and distributed caching keep the full security gate under 5 minutes for most codebases.
Security at the speed
of your pipeline.
Schedule a DevSecOps pipeline audit. We baseline your current CI/CD security posture, identify coverage gaps, and deliver a risk-gated implementation roadmap that accelerates — not blocks — your development velocity.
DevSecOps FAQs
Frequently asked
questions.
answered
Shift left means moving security testing and validation earlier in the software development lifecycle — into design, development, and CI/CD rather than waiting until pre-production or post-deployment. Catching vulnerabilities at the design phase costs 30x less to remediate than finding them in production, and shift-left practices dramatically reduce security debt accumulation.
The key is intelligent prioritisation and automation. Not every low-severity finding should block a deployment. We implement risk-based gates — blocking only critical findings, routing medium findings to the backlog, and providing developers with real-time feedback within their IDE rather than requiring context switches to security tools.
Key metrics include mean time to remediate (MTTR) security findings, vulnerability density per 1000 lines of code, the percentage of builds failing security gates, secrets exposure incidents, and the ratio of security issues found pre-production vs. post-production. A maturing DevSecOps programme shows decreasing vulnerability density and faster remediation cycles over time.
Modern DevSecOps pipelines integrate SAST (static analysis) tools like Semgrep and Checkmarx, DAST (dynamic analysis) scanners, SCA (software composition analysis) for dependency vulnerabilities, secrets detection tools, container image scanners, and IaC security scanners — all triggered automatically on code commits and pull requests.
IaC security scanning analyses Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm charts, and other IaC files for security misconfigurations before they are deployed to cloud environments. This catches issues like publicly exposed storage, overly permissive IAM roles, and disabled encryption at the code level — preventing cloud misconfigurations from ever reaching production.
