DevSecOps/SecDevOps: People-First, Built-In Security
DevSecOps/SecDevOps embeds security into every stage of delivery so teams move fast and safely. Tools and processes exist to serve people, reduce friction, and protect business outcomes.
Security is not a gate: it's part of the road
- Security controls are embedded from the start, not bolted on at the end.
- Shift-left checks catch issues early and minimize rework and delay.
People first, tools second
- Automation reduces cognitive load, repetitive work, and human error.
- Processes and tooling are designed to enable teams, not slow them down.
Security is a shared responsibility
- Dev, Ops, and Security collaborate with clear guardrails and guidance.
- Security partners with teams as an enabler, not just an auditor.
- Not a role, not a silo: DevSecOps/SecDevOps is not meant to sit on one person's shoulders or even in a single dedicated team. Making it someone's exclusive “job” just creates a new silo and defeats the purpose.
Automation as a force multiplier
- IaC, CI/CD, testing, and compliance-as-code run continuously.
- Issues are detected and remediated in the normal workflow, before production.
Aligned to business outcomes
- Protects business-critical processes while keeping delivery fast and reliable.
- Treats security as risk management that enables innovation.
Culture over checklists
- Dev, Ops, and Security operate as one team with transparency and trust between themselves, but none in the product.
- Continuous learning and adaptability in the face of evolving threats.
- Not an exact methodology: DevSecOps/SecDevOps is a flexible framework. The exact mix of tools, processes, and controls is determined by what works best for each client's culture, risk profile, and business goals.
