Secure Software Delivery Assessment for Enterprise Teams

Gain a clear, independent view of how secure software delivery operates across your CI/CD, AWS, Kubernetes and software supply chain workflows.
Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment helps established technology teams identify control gaps, risk areas and remediation priorities with principal-level technical assurance.

DevSecOps assessment for secure software delivery controls

Secure Delivery Controls Need to Stay Consistent as Organisations Scale

As technology environments grow, secure software delivery becomes harder to manage consistently across teams, platforms and business units.

Large organisations may already have DevOps, platform, cloud, AppSec and security teams in place. But as delivery expands across multiple CI/CD pipelines, AWS accounts, Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure-as-code workflows and third-party components, control gaps can become difficult to see from inside the organisation.

Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment provides an independent, principal-level view of how secure delivery controls operate across your environment. We help your teams identify where risk is building up, where controls vary between teams, and which remediation actions should be prioritised first.

The result is a clearer risk view for leadership and a practical improvement roadmap for internal engineering, platform and security teams.

 

What Your Organisation Gains from the Assessment

  • Principal-Level Technical Assurance: Work with experienced cloud, DevOps and platform specialists who understand how secure delivery controls operate in complex AWS, Kubernetes and CI/CD environments.

  • Independent Secure Delivery Review: Get an external view of how security controls are applied across pipelines, cloud platforms, Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure-as-code and software supply chain workflows.

  • Control Gaps and Risk Visibility: Identify where controls are inconsistent, missing, duplicated or difficult to evidence across teams, platforms and environments.

  • Practical Remediation Backlog: Receive prioritised actions your internal teams can implement, based on technical risk, business impact and delivery effort.

DevSecOps Assessment for Complex Technology Environments

Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment is designed for organisations that already operate modern software delivery environments but need a clearer view of risk, maturity and control consistency.

We review how security is embedded across your software delivery lifecycle — from code and CI/CD pipelines through to AWS, Kubernetes, container images, infrastructure-as-code, secrets, access controls and production visibility.

This is not a generic audit or tooling checklist. It is a practical technical assessment focused on how secure delivery operates in real environments.

The assessment helps answer questions such as:

  • Are secure delivery controls consistent across CI/CD, AWS, Kubernetes and software supply chain workflows?

  • Can your teams clearly evidence how software moves from code to production?

  • Are secrets, access controls, infrastructure changes and dependencies properly governed before deployment?

  • Which control gaps create the highest risk, and what should be fixed first?

What This Helps Your Organisation Achieve

Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment gives your organisation a practical view of how secure delivery controls operate across teams, platforms and environments. It helps identify where risk exists, where controls need to be standardised, and which remediation actions will have the greatest impact across CI/CD, AWS, Kubernetes and software supply chain workflows.

Provide DevOps, platform, cloud and security teams with a practical backlog they can use to improve secure delivery without adding unnecessary process overhead.

Focused Assessment Areas

Review the Controls That Matter Most to Secure Delivery

Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment focuses on the areas where security, delivery speed and operational risk most often intersect.

We assess how secure delivery controls are applied from source code and CI/CD pipelines through to AWS, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, third-party components, deployment traceability and audit evidence.

CI/CD Security and Release Controls

We review how code, builds and deployments move through your delivery pipelines. This includes:

  • Pipeline permissions and branch protection

  • Approval workflows and deployment gates

  • Environment separation and rollback processes

  • Release traceability and build integrity

  • Change visibility across teams and applications 

AWS Security Posture

We assess whether AWS controls support secure and measurable software delivery.

  • IAM and access control design

  • Account structure and security guardrails

  • Logging, audit trails and visibility

  • Network exposure and encryption controls

  • Ownership of cloud security responsibilities

Kubernetes and Container Security

We review how workloads are deployed, isolated and governed in Kubernetes environments.

  • RBAC and namespace boundaries

  • Workload permissions and runtime configuration

  • Image security and admission controls

  • Ingress exposure and cluster-level security practices

  • Container deployment risk before production

Infrastructure-as-Code Security

We assess how infrastructure changes are reviewed, controlled and deployed.

  • Terraform or CloudFormation workflows

  • Code review and approval practices

  • Policy checks and configuration standards

  • Drift risk and privileged defaults

  • Module governance and environment consistency 

Secrets and Access Management

We review how sensitive credentials and privileged access are managed across delivery workflows.

  • Secrets storage and rotation practices

  • Pipeline access to sensitive credentials

  • Human and machine identity controls

  • Privileged permissions and access reviews

  • Separation of duties across environments

Software Supply Chain Visibility

We assess how open-source, dependency and container image risk is managed before production.

  • Dependency and third-party package visibility

  • Container image vulnerabilities

  • SBOM coverage

  • Registry controls and policy enforcement

  • Pre-production scanning workflows 

Where deeper SBOM, container scanning or policy enforcement is required, Bion can support implementation through our Anchore partnership.

Audit Evidence and Reporting

We assess whether secure delivery controls can be evidenced clearly for leadership, audit, risk and compliance stakeholders.

  • Release and change evidence

  • Security control evidence

  • Pipeline audit trails

  • Vulnerability management records

  • Reporting gaps across teams and platforms

Where This Assessment Is Especially Valuable

Bion’s DevSecOps Assessment is designed for organisations where secure software delivery has a direct impact on operational resilience, customer trust, audit readiness and technology risk.

Regulated and Critical Environments

For financial services, healthcare, utilities, telecoms and education, we assess whether delivery controls can support resilience, audit evidence and secure change management.

Software Product and Digital Platform Teams

For SaaS, ISV and digital platform teams, we review how release speed, security controls, container risk and third-party dependencies are managed as engineering environments scale.

Enterprise IT and Technology Service Providers

For large IT and technology organisations, we provide an independent view of control consistency across distributed teams, client-facing platforms and complex delivery environments.
