SCM assessment & hardening
Review repository access, branch protections, reviews, app installations, tokens and release authority. Implement agreed safeguards in source control.
Software supply chain & delivery security
Secure the systems that can change what you ship.
An attacker does not have to exploit production if a developer tool, build runner or publishing token can change the release. Review the path from source to trusted artifact.

What we can do
Practical services.
A scope you can understand.
Choose the work that addresses your product and priorities. The agreed scope defines depth, access and deliverables.
CI/CD & build-system hardening
Review workflow trust, runner isolation, untrusted pull requests and credential use. Reduce unnecessary privileges and test the changed pipeline.
Developer workspace & tool review
Assess IDE extensions, local development tools, coding agents and shared engineering workspaces that can access source, credentials or delivery systems.
Dependency intake & package governance
Define trusted package sources, review triggers, update policies and exception paths. Investigate suspicious dependencies within the approved scope.
SBOMs, signing & provenance
Generate component inventories for the actual release and implement artifact signing and verification policies tied to trusted build identities.
Registry & release-distribution controls
Harden package and container registries, publishing permissions, immutable references and downstream consumption of release artifacts.
What you receive
Work you can review.
Evidence you can use.
Deliverables are selected and agreed for your engagement.
- Source-to-release trust map
- SCM, runner and publishing changes
- Artifact inventory and integrity verification
- Release policy and maintenance runbook
An illustrative engagement
How the work connects.
This example explains the approach; it is not a customer case study.
What needs attention
A public pull request can run a workflow with privileges intended for publishing production images.
What we do together
Separate untrusted jobs from release authority, restrict credentials and registry writes, and test both allowed and rejected release paths.
What you can inspect
Reviewed workflow changes, permission tests and verifiable release artifacts.
