🚀 Sherlocked Security – DevSecOps Pipeline for Cloud

Shift Left with Confidence: Embed Security Into Every Stage of Your CI/CD Workflow

📄 1. Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Name: DevSecOps Pipeline for Cloud
Client Type: Cloud-Native Startups, FinTech, DevOps & Platform Engineering Teams
Service Model: CI/CD Pipeline Hardening + Security Toolchain Integration
Compliance Coverage: OWASP SAMM, NIST DevSecOps, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, CIS
Supported Platforms:

  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins
  • AWS CodePipeline / Azure DevOps / Google Cloud Build
  • Container Registries (ECR, GCR, DockerHub)

🧠 2. Our Approach (with Visual)

🔹 Security by Design, Not by Retrofit
🔹 Code → Build → Deploy Risk Reduction
🔹 Policy-as-Code + Continuous Compliance

Create a visual using the following flow and color codes:

[Source Code Commit] → [Secrets & SAST Checks] → [Image Scan / IaC Scan] → [RBAC & Policy Enforcement] → [Test & Monitor Hooks] → [Deploy Guardrails] → [Post-Deploy Validation]

Color Code:

  • Discovery: #064d52
  • Testing/Attack: #8b0505
  • Closure: #0f5c5a

🧪 3. Methodology (with Visual)

CopyEdit

[Kickoff] → [Pipeline Inventory Review] → [Toolchain Evaluation (SAST, DAST, IaC)] → [Secrets & Vulnerability Detection] → [Policy-as-Code Enforcement] → [Hardening Build/Deploy Steps] → [Fix Advisory + Code Samples] → [Retesting & Reporting]

Visual Color Flow:

  • 🔹 Blue (Planning: #064d52)
  • 🔸 Red (Pipeline Risk Discovery: #8b0505)
  • ✅ Green (Secure Closure: #0f5c5a)

📦 4. Deliverables to the Client

🌟 8. Why Sherlocked Security? (Our USP)

Feature Sherlocked Advantage
🔁 Full Pipeline Integration From commit to post-deploy validation
🛠️ Open Source & Enterprise Tooling We configure what fits your scale + stack
📘 Code-Specific Recommendations Inline feedback with secure PRs and samples
🔁 Retesting Support 1 round of validation post hardening
📡 Continuous Monitoring Ready Post-deploy observability integrations
🏆 DevSecOps Certificate Issued after implementation & testing

📚 9. Real-World Case Studies

🛑 Secrets in Git History: Developer Repo Leak

Issue: AWS credentials committed and pushed, found via GitHub search
Impact: Temporary key abuse leading to $9K in crypto mining charges

🛠️ Our Fix Journey: DevSecOps for Multi-Cloud FinTech

Client: FinTech with GitLab + EKS + Terraform
Findings:

  • No IaC scanning

  • Secrets exposed in pipeline logs

  • No post-deploy checks for policy violations
    Our Role:

  • CI/CD security posture audit

  • Added tfsec, OPA, and secrets scanning
    Outcome:

  • All pipelines passed compliance audit

  • Guardrails enforced on dev and prod

🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure

  1. Discovery Call
  2. Pipeline Access & Repo Review
  3. Toolchain Audit (SAST, Secrets, IaC, DAST)
  4. Fix Plan Development
  5. Pipeline Configuration Update Advisory
  6. Retesting of Pipelines
  7. Final Report Submission
  8. Certificate Issuance

📋 11. Sample DevSecOps Checklist (Preview)

  1. Integrate static and dynamic code scanning tools.
  2. Automate dependency scanning for known CVEs.
  3. Embed secrets detection into the pipeline.
  4. Apply infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security scanning.
  5. Enforce policy-as-code (OPA, Sentinel, etc.).
  6. Use signed artifacts and trusted registries.
  7. Implement environment-based access controls.
  8. Automate security testing in pre-prod deployments.
  9. Monitor pipeline activity for abuse or tampering.
  10. Educate dev teams on secure coding and pipeline hygiene.
