The Problem
Every release required a manual security sign-off that took days to schedule and complete.
The engineering team had no automated way to catch vulnerabilities before code reached production, so issues surfaced late and cost more to fix.
What KPThink Did
- Built a CI/CD pipeline with automated SAST and dependency scanning on every pull request.
- Added secrets scanning and blocked merges on critical findings.
- Set up policy-as-code guardrails for infrastructure changes.
- Integrated security checks into the client's existing GitHub Actions workflow instead of introducing a separate tool.
- Trained the engineering team to triage findings on their own, without KPThink in the loop.
The Outcome
3 days
release cycle, down from 2 weeks
Zero
critical vulnerabilities reached production in the first 6 months
80%
reduction in manual security review time
