Cloud &
DevSecOps
We embed security directly into cloud environments and CI/CD pipelines — hardening your cloud posture, securing your delivery pipeline, and ensuring every line of infrastructure-as-code is safe before it reaches production.
Engineering-Native Cloud Security at the Speed of Delivery
Multi-Cloud Native Expertise
Certified engineers across AWS (CSAA, CSSP), GCP (PCSE), and Azure (AZ-500, SC-100) — not generalists reading cloud documentation, but specialists who have architected and secured production cloud environments at enterprise scale.
Pipeline-Integrated Security
We do not deliver security as a separate audit gate that slows delivery. We integrate security tooling, policy checks, and alerting directly into your existing GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps pipelines.
Kubernetes-First Practice
Our container security practice is built around production Kubernetes environments — not theoretical CIS benchmarks. We have hardened clusters running millions of daily requests across EKS, GKE, AKS, and self-managed deployments.
Compliance-as-Code Delivery
Every ZecurX cloud engagement maps findings to the frameworks your auditors and regulators require — CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, RBI, and SEBI — and delivers remediation in code, not just recommendations.
Six Specialised Capabilities
From posture management to pipeline hardening — one integrated cloud security practice.
Cloud Posture Management
Continuous misconfiguration detection and automated remediation across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Real-time alerting with severity scoring, IAM posture review, drift detection, and multi-account risk visibility — your cloud security control plane operating 24/7.
CI/CD Pipeline Security
Automated security gates, secrets scanning, and policy enforcement at every stage of your software delivery pipeline. SAST, SCA, SBOM generation, SLSA framework implementation, OPA/Conftest policy-as-code, and artifact signing — security that ships with your code.
Container & Kubernetes Security
Image vulnerability scanning, runtime threat detection with Falco, RBAC deep audit, network policy hardening, and admission controller enforcement. CIS Kubernetes Benchmark assessment for EKS, GKE, AKS, and self-managed clusters.
Infrastructure as Code Security Review
Static analysis of Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, and Bicep templates before provisioning — catching misconfigurations at the source. Checkov, tfsec, and KICS scanning augmented with expert module review and CI/CD gate integration.
Secrets & Credential Management
HashiCorp Vault architecture, deployment, and dynamic credential configuration. Automated rotation policies, Vault Agent sidecar injection, and continuous secret leak detection across repositories, CI/CD systems, wikis, and chat platforms.
Cloud Architecture Review
AWS Well-Architected Framework security pillar review, zero-trust architecture assessment, blast radius mapping, and hybrid connectivity security. Independent expert review of architectural decisions before they become permanent constraints.
The ZecurX Shift-Left Framework
Security embedded at every stage of the infrastructure and application lifecycle.
Design
Architecture review, threat modelling, and security requirements definition.
Code
IaC review, SAST, secrets scanning, and dependency analysis in IDE and PR.
Build
Container scanning, SBOM generation, artifact signing, and pipeline gates.
Deploy
Policy gate enforcement, admission controllers, and runtime configuration validation.
Operate
CSPM, runtime detection, posture drift alerting, and continuous compliance.
Respond
Automated remediation, incident playbooks, and forensic log access.
What You Receive
Actionable, code-level outputs — not just PDF reports.
Technical Findings Report
CVSS-scored misconfiguration and vulnerability findings with proof-of-concept evidence, affected resource mapping, and step-by-step remediation instructions tailored to your cloud provider and IaC toolchain.
Executive Risk Dashboard
Board-ready risk score with trend tracking, benchmark comparisons, SLA-linked remediation timelines, and overall posture rating in plain business language — for CISO reporting and due diligence.
Remediation as Code
Findings delivered as pull requests, policy rules, Terraform patches, and runbooks — not just recommendations. Remediations are version-controlled, reviewable, and deployable through your existing workflows.
Compliance Mapping Report
Findings mapped to CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS v4.0, NIST CSF, RBI Cloud Framework, SEBI CSCRF, CERT-In Directions 2022, and DPDPA 2023 — ready for auditors and regulators.
Proven cloud security outcomes
How our cloud and DevSecOps engagements have caught critical misconfigurations and secured delivery pipelines before incidents occurred.
247 Cloud Misconfigurations Fixed — SOC 2 Achieved 3 Months Early
"Initial assessment found 4 publicly accessible RDS snapshots with production customer data, 3 S3 buckets with static website hosting inadvertently enabled on internal stores, and 4 IAM roles with AdministratorAccess on non-privileged EC2 workloads. All critical findings were auto-remediated within 6 hours."
Live Stripe Key Caught Before Reaching Public Repo
"340 pipeline definitions across GitHub Actions and GitLab CI — no consistent security gate policy, secrets visible in pipeline logs, container images from unauthenticated Docker Hub. Six weeks after ZecurX implemented OPA/Conftest and Trufflehog, we caught our first real secret: a developer's live Stripe API key in a feature branch."
34 Cluster-Admin Service Accounts Reduced to 3
"34 service accounts had cluster-admin or equivalent privileges — compared to 2 that actually required them. No NetworkPolicies meant a compromised pod in the payments namespace had unrestricted access to every other pod including the PHI data store. First week of Falco surfaced 4 anomalous events including unexpected connections to a crypto-mining pool."
Single IaC Fix Remediated 23 Production Environments Simultaneously
"A foundational RDS module used by 23 teams had encryption-at-rest disabled, deletion protection off, and publicly accessible set to true for development convenience — and all 23 teams had inherited these defaults into production. ZecurX delivered the fix as a pull request to the module repo — one merge fixed everything."
