What we review

Focused on the controls that change real product risk.

The exact evidence set is tailored during discovery. A typical engagement covers the areas below.

  • Coverage across repositories, languages, environments, and release paths
  • Rule quality, false positives, duplicates, and severity normalization
  • Asset criticality and risk-based prioritization
  • Ticket routing, ownership, SLAs, and closure workflows
  • Security gates and exception handling
  • Metrics that show whether tooling changes risk
Deliverables
