HOW WE DELIVER

Inside the Container and Pipeline Security workflow

Governance that produces its own evidence, so audits stop consuming a quarter of your year.

Step 01

Weeks 1–2

Obligation mapping

Regulatory, contractual and customer security obligations are gathered into one register, which usually reveals overlapping requirements that a single control set can satisfy.

Deliverables:

Obligation register
Applicability analysis
Framework decision

Step 04

Weeks 7–12

Evidence automation

Controls are implemented so that tickets, logs and approvals generate their own evidence continuously, rather than being reconstructed the week before an audit.

Deliverables:

Evidence pipelines
Control instrumentation
Evidence calendar

Step 02

Weeks 2–5

Risk assessment

Assets, threats and existing controls are assessed to produce a ranked risk register scored in business terms, with treatment decisions recorded and owned.

Deliverables:

Risk register
Scoring methodology
Treatment decisions

Step 05

Weeks 12–15

Assurance and internal audit

Internal audit or a mock assessment tests each control against its evidence, and findings are closed while they are still private.

Deliverables:

Internal audit report
Corrective actions
Readiness assessment

Step 03

Weeks 4–8

Policy and control framework

Policies and standards are written to be followed, mapped to the chosen framework, and scoped so exceptions are rare enough to be meaningful.

Deliverables:

Policy set
Control mapping
Exception process

Step 06

Ongoing

Reporting and continuous improvement

Risk, control coverage and incident metrics are reported to leadership on a fixed cadence, and the register is revisited as the business changes.

Deliverables:

Board reporting pack
Metrics
Review cadence

COMMON QUESTIONS

About Container and Pipeline Security

A typical DESSS Container and Pipeline Security delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around ongoing. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.

Every step closes with named deliverables — Applicability analysis, Board reporting pack, Control instrumentation, Control mapping, Corrective actions, Evidence calendar, Evidence pipelines, Exception process — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.

Yes. Integration with the systems your supply chain security depends on is designed early and delivered with validation, monitoring, and error handling, so failures are visible and recoverable.

No. Container and Pipeline Security is often delivered alongside the other Application Security & DevSecOps products listed below, in a phased roadmap that avoids rebuilding earlier phases. DESSS sequences them so each phase stands on its own.
