DevSecOps CI/CD Pipeline Audit
Your build pipeline is a high-value target and a chance to catch flaws early. We audit your CI/CD for security gaps, embedded secrets and supply-chain risk, and help you shift security left without slowing delivery.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.
What's covered
- CI/CD pipeline security and access review
- Secrets management in build and deployment
- Supply-chain and dependency-integrity review
- Security-gate and automated-testing integration (SAST/DAST/SCA)
- Artifact and deployment integrity
- Least-privilege for build and deploy identities
What you receive
- Pipeline security audit report
- Findings across build, test and deploy stages
- Shift-left integration recommendations
- Secrets and supply-chain remediation plan
- Executive summary
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Only your own pipelines and repositories
- Assessment via authorised access
- Implementation by your team
- Third-party actions/plugins assessed by behaviour
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- Will adding security slow our pipeline down?
- Done well, no. We integrate fast, targeted security gates and cache-aware scanning so security runs in parallel with delivery. The goal is catching issues earlier, not adding friction.
- What's the most common pipeline risk?
- Secrets in code or CI variables, over-privileged build identities, and unverified dependencies. A compromised pipeline can push malicious code straight to production, so these matter a lot.
- What do you need from us?
- Access to your CI/CD configuration and repositories, and details of your build and deploy process. We map the pipeline and audit each stage.

Secure Source Code Review
Some flaws only reveal themselves in the code. Our experts read your source — by hand, guided by tooling — to find vulnerabilities, insecure patterns and design weaknesses that black-box testing can miss.

Container Security Review
Containers move fast — and so do their vulnerabilities. We review your container images, registries and runtime configuration for insecure builds, embedded secrets and weak isolation, securing the whole lifecycle from build to run.
