Security gates that stop vulnerabilities reaching production
SAST, DAST and manual penetration testing wired into the pipeline, with builds that fail on high-severity findings.
A team shipping web applications had security as an afterthought at the end of each release. We moved it into the pipeline so issues are caught automatically, and pressure-tested what ships.
// the challenge
Catch vulnerabilities before they ship, without slowing the team
Security checks happened late and by hand, so vulnerabilities were found slowly and inconsistently, sometimes only after code had already reached production.
The team wanted security baked into delivery, not a bottleneck bolted on at the end, plus real assurance that what shipped had been properly tested.
// what we did
Our approach
Assess
Reviewed applications, pipelines and infrastructure to find where security gaps were getting through.
Integrate
Added Snyk SAST and SCA plus Burp Suite Enterprise DAST into CI/CD, with gates that break builds on high-severity findings.
Test
Ran manual web application penetration testing to find the issues automated tools miss.
Remediate
Delivered prioritised reporting and worked with the team to fix and verify each issue.
// results
The outcome
- High-severity vulnerabilities now block the build automatically.
- Continuous SAST, SCA and DAST coverage on every change.
- Manual pentesting surfaced issues scanners alone would have missed.
- Clear remediation tracking improved the overall security posture.
