Cloud & DevSecOps

Security that ships with your code

Most cloud security problems come from misconfiguration, not sophisticated attacks. And most DevSecOps failures happen because security is an afterthought. Xcevia reviews your cloud environment and helps you integrate security into your development workflow, so issues get caught before they become incidents.

The common pattern

Cloud misconfigurations are responsible for the majority of cloud breaches.

Overly permissive IAM roles. S3 buckets accessible to the public. Security groups with inbound rules open to the world. Default credentials left in place. These are not advanced attack techniques. They are gaps that compound quietly until something goes wrong.

The fix is not more tools. It is a clear picture of what is actually configured, a prioritised list of what matters, and security checks that run automatically every time code is deployed.

The difference it makes

Security bolted on at the end

Vulnerabilities found late, expensive to fix, release delays.

Security integrated into pipelines

Issues caught automatically at commit time, low friction, no surprises at audit.

What we aim for

Security becomes a property of your delivery process, not a separate workstream.

What's included

What we cover

Scope is agreed at the start of every engagement. The following represents the areas most commonly covered.

Cloud security review

A structured review of your AWS or Azure environment. Identity and access management, network architecture, storage permissions, logging, encryption at rest and in transit. We look at how your cloud is actually configured, not just how it should be.

Pipeline security integration

Security checks embedded directly into your CI/CD pipelines. SAST scanning, dependency vulnerability checks, secrets detection, container image scanning. Automated gates that catch issues before they reach production.

Security automation

Custom tooling to automate repetitive security tasks: compliance evidence collection, misconfiguration detection, alerting on policy drift. If you are doing something manually every week, there is usually a way to automate it.

Infrastructure-as-Code security

Security review of Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi configurations before they are deployed. Catching overly permissive IAM policies, open security groups, or missing encryption settings at the code level.

What you get

Cloud environment security review report (AWS or Azure)
Prioritised findings with severity ratings and remediation steps
CI/CD pipeline security integration recommendations and implementation
Infrastructure-as-Code security review and hardening advice
Custom automation scripts or tooling where applicable
Documentation of security controls implemented

Who this is for

Startups and scale-ups that have grown their cloud infrastructure quickly and want a security baseline

Development teams that deploy frequently and want security embedded in their pipeline rather than managed separately

Businesses moving workloads to cloud and wanting security built in from the start

Teams that have received security findings from a customer audit and need help addressing them

How an engagement works

Every engagement starts with a written scope agreement covering systems in scope, timeline, and deliverables. No work begins until this is signed by both parties.
