Advanced Assessment › DevSecOps
DevSecOps — Shift security left, into the pipeline itself
SIRI Security helps you embed security scanning directly into your CI/CD pipeline — SAST, DAST, dependency and secret scanning — so vulnerabilities surface at commit time, not in a penetration test six months later.

Evidentiary standard
BSA 2023
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 governs how digital and forensic evidence is admitted in Indian courts — findings that may end up in litigation need to be collected to that standard from day one.
Growing gap
62% CLOUD
Cloud misconfiguration and IAM exploitation account for 62% of detections in cloud environments (DSCI) — a growing share of what advanced assessment work uncovers.
Baseline
70% MALWARE
Trojans and file infectors make up 70% of malware detections (Seqrite 2026) — relevant context for forensic and red-team engagements alike.
Effective
31 JUL 2026
RBI's 2026 Framework raises the bar on what regulated entities are expected to test and evidence, including deeper assessments beyond routine VAPT.
Baseline
6 HR WINDOW
CERT-In's notification window applies regardless of how technically complex the underlying finding was — advanced assessment work still has to feed a fast decision process.
Depth, held to an evidentiary standard
What does DevSecOps integration involve?
DevSecOps integration is the practical work of wiring automated security checks — static analysis, dependency scanning, secret detection, and dynamic scanning where feasible — directly into your existing CI/CD pipeline, tuned to your stack rather than dropped in as an out-of-the-box default.
The goal is to catch the high-confidence, high-volume issues automatically and continuously, freeing up manual testing (VAPT, code review) to focus on the business-logic and chained vulnerabilities automation can't find.
Advanced findings often become legal findings
Digital forensics, red-team, and AI/LLM assessment work regularly surfaces material that ends up in a regulatory filing or a courtroom — evidence handling has to be right from the first byte collected.
SIRI Security delivers DevSecOps to this standard directly — practitioner-led, documented, and connected to SIRI Law LLP's legal and regulatory response if a finding ever needs to go further.
What organisations get wrong
Four assumptions that undermine advanced assessment work
Depth without the right evidentiary discipline can end up unusable when it matters most.
01 — EVIDENCE
“We'll worry about admissibility later”
Evidence collected without proper chain-of-custody discipline from the start often can't be rehabilitated afterward — the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 cares about how it was gathered, not just what it shows.
02 — SCOPE
“Standard VAPT already covers this”
Red-team operations, AI/LLM audits, hardware security, and digital forensics each require specialised methodology that routine testing doesn't attempt.
03 — TOOLING
“New technology just needs the same checklist”
AI/LLM systems and specialised hardware introduce failure modes — prompt injection, model extraction, physical debug exposure — that generic assessment frameworks weren't built for.
04 — URGENCY
“We can take our time on a complex finding”
CERT-In's notification clock doesn't pause for investigative complexity — advanced assessment work still has to feed a fast decision process.
What DevSecOps covers
What's included, start to finish
Depth-first work, documented to a standard that holds up beyond the engagement itself.
01
SAST/DAST pipeline integration
Static and dynamic scanning wired into your existing CI/CD, tuned to reduce false-positive noise.
02
Dependency & SBOM scanning
Automated detection of known-vulnerable third-party components on every build.
03
Secret scanning
Preventing credentials and API keys from being committed to your repositories in the first place.
04
Security gate design
Deciding what actually blocks a deploy versus what's logged for later triage.
05
Developer workflow integration
Findings routed into the tools your developers already use, not a separate portal nobody checks.
Evidence, not guesswork
Generic assessment vs. a documented SIRI engagement
The difference shows up when findings need to go somewhere — a board, a regulator, or a court.

Why SIRI for DevSecOps specifically
Depth backed by an evidentiary standard, under one roof
The same team that runs the assessment can carry a real finding into a legal or regulatory response without a handoff.
01
Court-admissible from the first byte collected
Ananya Krishnan, SIRI's Digital Forensics Lead, prepares court-admissible forensic reports and testifies as an expert witness when findings end up in front of a judge.
02
Led by named offensive-security practitioners
Vikram Rao, SIRI's Head of Cybersecurity, directs offensive security and incident response and leads CERT-In breach containment for enterprise clients.
03
Findings connected directly to legal exposure
SIRI Security runs under the same roof as SIRI Law LLP — when a finding carries real legal exposure, the engagement can be brought under attorney-client privilege from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
04
Built for the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam's standard
Evidence handling is designed to the admissibility standard India's evidence law sets, not a generic international template retrofitted afterward.

Debrief & Remediation Support
We walk your team through the findings live and remain available while you remediate.
OngoingFrequently asked
DevSecOps, answered directly
Which CI/CD platforms do you support?
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and most major platforms — we scope tooling to whatever you already run.
Does this replace manual testing?
No — it catches high-confidence automated findings continuously; manual VAPT and code review remain necessary for logic flaws automation can't see.
How long does this take?
Most engagements in this category run 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope; we'll give you an exact estimate once scoping is complete.
Who actually does the work?
Senior SIRI Security specialists carry out every engagement personally — this is never outsourced or run purely by automated tooling.

Scope DevSecOps.
Most engagements start with a short scoping call to confirm objectives, environment, and evidentiary requirements.
