Secure
Identify vulnerabilities and protect your open source environment.
Security is an integral and continuous part of maintaining open source systems to protect the codebases, infrastructure and data you depend on.

Identify & patch vulnerabilities
New threats are introduced, discovered and addressed daily, even in the very best components. Your code depends on many of these components, which means that over time your code becomes vulnerable without your applying direct changes on your end. We'll audit and catalogue all your dependencies, across ENVs and codebases, evaluate and mitigate the risk of deploying patches and version updates.
Harden servers & services
One of the common mistakes is confusing the appearance of working (user clicks here - gets the expected result) with a solid, defensive, secure design. That’s a real problem, one that can be mitigated by audits and penetration tests conducted by professionals who specialise in that domain. We can help you ensure your code and data flows are both functional and secure.
Enforce best practices
Adhering to best practices starts with education. We can help train your staff with a collaborative discovery process. We can then put in place continuous integration pipelines, pre-commit hooks and policies to block non-compliant code or configurations before they reach production. This is an iterative process and we'll be there to provide continuous support and advice, whenever you need it.
Security is a lot like recycling; everyone agrees it's important but far fewer people actually engage in it. And much like recycling, it’s a complex and continuous process; the real issue is not so much the initial investment, it’s the constant follow-up and re-evaluation. Coding defensively with security in mind requires a degree of effort and a specific kind of criminal thinking (because you have to think like one to catch one).
Open source provides transparency, extendability and control. Our job is to help you use it securely.
