As a trusted IT consultancy for highly regulated sectors, beON enables organizations to engineer resilience and compliance into their core technology platforms. Our DevSecOps frameworks are not just automation pipelines — they’re policy-driven, audit-ready, and security-first by design. Below, we illustrate how we integrate security, observability, and compliance at every layer of modern application and infrastructure delivery.
ICT Risk Management: Security Begins in the Pipeline
At beON, DevSecOps pipelines are designed to enforce security and governance policies as code, right from the developer commit to runtime execution. Our approach includes:
- Static & Dynamic Analysis Integration: We integrate SAST/DAST tools like SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, and GitLab Secure directly into CI/CD workflows, with blocking thresholds for high-severity vulnerabilities.
- Admission Control & Image Provenance: We enforce Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Kyverno policies at the Kubernetes API layer, validating pod specs, container registries, image signatures, and RBAC configurations at admission time.
- Cluster Hardening: We apply PodSecurity Standards (PSS), Seccomp profiles, and Kubernetes Network Policies to restrict inter-service communication, limit privilege escalation, and reduce lateral movement.
- IAM & Access Control as Code: Access policies are managed via Terraform and Sentinel, enabling least privilege enforcement across Kubernetes, AWS IAM, and GCP service accounts. All access roles are version-controlled and auditable.
- Outcome: Shift-left security, runtime enforcement, and complete traceability of identity and infrastructure changes—aligned with DORA’s ICT risk governance principles.
Digital Operational Resilience Testing: Chaos as a Feature
Resilience is not a buzzword at beON — it’s a testable, automatable engineering principle embedded in your deployment lifecycle.
- Fault Injection & Chaos Engineering: Using LitmusChaos, Chaos Mesh, and Kube-monkey, we simulate realistic failures—node loss, pod crashes, network delays, CPU throttling—to validate system tolerance under stress.
- Environment Segmentation: Fault scenarios are executed in pre-production environments with production-like infrastructure, supported by canary and blue/green deployments to contain blast radius.
- SLO-Driven Observability: We define Service Level Objectives (SLOs) with SLIs such as latency, error rate, and availability. These are continuously monitored using Prometheus, Thanos, and Grafana, triggering alerts on performance degradation.
- Full-Stack Telemetry: Logs (via Loki/Elastic), metrics (via Prometheus), and traces (via OpenTelemetry/Jaeger) are aggregated into observability platforms (e.g., Datadog, Grafana Cloud) to provide complete visibility during chaos experiments.
- Outcome: Resilience is validated continuously with automated tests and real-time performance feedback, ensuring readiness for DORA-mandated resilience audits and scenario testing.
Third-Party Risk Management: Supply Chain as a First-Class Citizen
We treat software supply chain integrity as a critical component of operational security. Our DevSecOps pipelines are equipped with end-to-end controls for third-party risk visibility and mitigation:
- SBOM Generation & Scanning: We automatically generate Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) using Syft and scan them with Grype during builds. Results are enforced by policy gates and stored in a centralized, versioned registry (Harbor or JFrog Artifactory).
- Artifact Signing & Provenance: All container images and binaries are signed using Sigstore (cosign), with transparency logs via Rekor to prove authenticity and integrity—enforcing zero-trust supply chains.
- Vulnerability Intelligence: Dependencies are continuously tracked in CycloneDX format and correlated with real-time feeds from OSV, CVE databases, and vendor advisories. Risk thresholds can auto-block pipeline promotions.
- Provenance Attestations: We generate and store in-toto attestations for each build stage, providing a tamper-proof chain-of-custody across tools, environments, and personnel.
- Outcome: A transparent and cryptographically verifiable software supply chain—precisely what DORA’s third-party risk requirements demand.
Compliance as Code: Every Change is an Audit Trail
We codify compliance into every layer of infrastructure, ensuring that all changes are traceable, testable, and reversible.
- GitOps-Driven Deployments: We use ArgoCD or Flux to enforce declarative state across clusters, enabling full auditability of infrastructure and application drift.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Systems and policies are provisioned using Terraform or Pulumi, with OPA-based policy validation during CI/CD runs and encrypted state management using tools like Vault or AWS KMS.
- Immutable Logs & Commit Signing: All code changes, including IaC and security rules, are GPG-signed and logged in version-controlled Git repositories, supporting regulatory-grade auditability.
- Compliance Testing Automation: We implement continuous compliance testing using frameworks such as OpenSCAP, CIS Benchmarks, and InSpec—with results published to dashboards or sent to compliance stakeholders.
- Outcome: Infrastructure and policy changes are treated as regulated assets, aligning with DORA’s auditability and traceability expectations.
Final Thoughts: From DevSecOps to DORA-Ready Architectures
beON’s DevSecOps frameworks go far beyond basic automation—they embody the principles of zero trust, continuous compliance, and operational resilience. By embedding security, observability, and governance directly into CI/CD workflows, we enable clients to turn regulatory mandates like DORA into engineering best practices.
We don’t just build pipelines. We build defensible architectures that:
- Detect and mitigate risk at every stage.
- Prove compliance with cryptographic evidence.
- Recover rapidly under failure and attack.
- Let’s build your DORA-aligned platform—where compliance is continuous, and resilience is a built-in feature.
