Secure Engineering Foundations
Establish secure-by-design practices across your SDLC—process, architecture, threat modeling, code review, and developer enablement—before release pressure forces trade-offs.
Secure SDLC, architecture review, threat modeling, code review, and developer enablement.
What teams tell us
- We need security before release pressure forces trade-offs
- Our SDLC has no clear security gates or ownership
- Code review is inconsistent across teams
- We must align to SSDF or SAMM for customers and audits
- Developers need practical secure coding habits, not slide decks
Who starts here
What you gain
- Security activities mapped to each SDLC phase with clear ownership
- Architecture and threat models that catch design flaws early
- Repeatable secure code review integrated with delivery
- Developers who can apply OWASP-aligned secure coding in daily work
Start here when design and build practices need structure before you automate pipelines or scale AI tooling. Most Launch engagements begin in this family.
Standards & frameworks
Secure software development practices aligned with SP 800-218.
Maturity model for software assurance across the organization.
Verification requirements for application security controls.
Structured abuse-case and threat identification at design time.

How we engage
Assess & baseline
Review current SDLC, tooling, and team practices against NIST SSDF and SAMM.
Design secure workflows
Define security gates, review cadence, and architecture/threat modeling touchpoints.
Enable teams
Roll out training, code review playbooks, and champions alignment.
Measure & improve
Track adoption metrics and iterate on process with your delivery leads.
Launch packages often start with Secure SDLC and code review; Scale adds training and architecture review depth.

Secure SDLC defines what security work happens in each phase (design, build, test, release). DevSecOps automates much of that in pipelines. We deliver both as complementary capabilities.
Core delivery is Build Secure (SDLC, training, code review). Architecture review and threat modeling are Advisory services cross-listed here because they anchor secure engineering foundations.
Add them when you are designing or significantly changing systems—typically alongside Secure SDLC in Launch, before major releases or new product lines.
