Enterprise DevSecOps Rollout for SaaS Provider

How we transformed security practices for a growing SaaS company operating in highly regulated industries

Industry

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Challenge

Meeting rigorous security and compliance requirements while maintaining rapid development cycles

Solution

Comprehensive DevSecOps transformation with automated security testing and compliance

The Challenge

Our client, a fast-growing SaaS provider serving healthcare and financial services industries, faced significant challenges in meeting the stringent security and compliance requirements of their regulated clients. Their traditional approach to security treating it as a final gate before deployment was creating bottlenecks in their delivery pipeline and hampering their ability to release new features quickly.

Key challenges included:

  • Long security review cycles causing deployment delays of up to two weeks
  • Inconsistent security practices across development teams
  • Manual compliance checks requiring significant resources
  • Difficulty maintaining compliance like SOC2, HIPAA and GDPR regulations

Our Approach

We implemented a comprehensive DevSecOps transformation that integrated security throughout the development lifecycle. Our approach focused on automation, standardization, and cultural change to make security a shared responsibility across teams.

Key Components of Our Solution:

  • Integrated SAST, DAST, and container scanning into CI/CD pipelines to detect vulnerabilities early in the development process
  • Enabled secrets management using HashiCorp Vault to eliminate hardcoded credentials and improve security posture
  • Implemented policy-as-code for compliance automation, making regulatory requirements a native part of the development workflow
  • Developed security dashboards and metrics to provide visibility into security posture
  • Conducted training and workshops to build a security-focused culture across development teams

The DevSecOps implementation by Codewise Analytics has transformed our approach to security. Instead of being a bottleneck, security is now a competitive advantage for us. Our teams are more efficient, and our customers have greater confidence in our platform.
