Cloud posture and workload protection DevSecOps and secure SDLC API, container and application security

Security built into digital delivery

Cloud and application risk must be managed from design through production.

Cloud services, APIs, containers, open-source components and frequent software releases expand the attack surface. When security is added only after deployment, misconfigurations, exposed secrets and application vulnerabilities become harder and more expensive to correct.

Data Confiance connects cloud architecture, workload protection, secure development, testing and operational monitoring into one integrated security model.

Cloud security and application protection

Secure the platform and the software together Cloud controls, identity, code, APIs, workloads and monitoring operate as one coordinated defence model.

Secure application development and DevSecOps

Shield Right Prevent risk during design and development while continuously protecting production workloads.

Build secure cloud foundations first

Cloud security architecture

Reduce misconfiguration before workloads scale.

Cloud environments require clear account structures, identity, network boundaries, logging, encryption, policy and ownership. We establish repeatable guardrails so teams can move faster without creating unmanaged exposure.

Define secure landing-zone and account structures. Apply identity, network and encryption guardrails. Continuously monitor posture and policy drift. Integrate cloud findings into operational response.

Secure software development and application security testing

Find application risk earlier

DevSecOps and application security

Build security into design, code, pipelines and releases.

Security becomes more effective when architecture review, code analysis, dependency checks, secrets detection and runtime protection are part of the delivery process. We help teams create practical controls without disrupting release velocity.

Use threat modelling and secure design reviews. Integrate code, dependency and secrets scanning. Protect APIs, containers and production workloads. Track vulnerabilities through ownership and remediation.

It can include cloud accounts, identity, network, data, workloads, containers, APIs, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, vulnerabilities, posture, logging, incident readiness, ownership and a prioritised roadmap.

Cloud security posture management continuously identifies misconfiguration, policy drift, exposed services, risky permissions and compliance gaps across cloud accounts and subscriptions.

Cloud workload protection secures virtual machines, containers, serverless services and Kubernetes through image controls, runtime monitoring, vulnerability management, identity and network policy.

DevSecOps integrates security into design, code, dependencies, infrastructure as code, pipelines, testing and release workflows so issues are found earlier and remediation ownership is clearer.

Methods can include threat modelling, SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, secrets scanning, infrastructure-as-code scanning, penetration testing and manual architecture review.

APIs often expose business functions and data directly. They require inventory, strong authentication, authorisation, schema validation, rate control, testing, logging and lifecycle governance.

Security can include trusted images, registry scanning, admission controls, secrets management, workload identity, namespace policy, runtime defence, network controls and cluster hardening.

Managed services can include posture review, vulnerability triage, policy tuning, runtime alerts, pipeline findings, API monitoring, compliance reporting, release governance and continuous improvement.
