Shift Security Left with DevSecOps
Mars Innovation Technology builds automated security into your development pipeline and cloud operations — from SAST/DAST scanning to SIEM to compliance reporting — so security keeps pace with delivery.
Embeds automated security scanning (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning) into every CI/CD pipeline.
Stands up a SIEM and Security Operations workflow that catches threats before they escalate.
Produces audit-ready compliance evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS Benchmarks.
Reduces mean time to detect (MTTD) by 60–80% vs. manual security reviews.
Security Is an Afterthought Until an Incident Forces Your Hand
Most organisations treat security as a final gate before production — a checklist run by a small team that is chronically behind the pace of development. Vulnerabilities live in code for months before they are found, and by then they are expensive to fix. Security teams and development teams operate in silos, which means risk accumulates invisibly.
Cloud infrastructure sprawl makes the problem worse. Misconfigured S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and unpatched container images are among the most common root causes of breaches — and all are preventable with automated tooling applied consistently.
Security reviews happen once at release, not continuously — bugs are found too late.
Cloud misconfiguration (open storage buckets, over-permissive IAM) goes undetected.
No centralised log aggregation means incidents are reconstructed from fragments.
Compliance evidence is collected manually before audits — slow and error-prone.
Development teams bypass security controls because they slow down delivery.
Everything Included in This Launchpad
A complete, production-ready package — from architecture to deployment to ongoing support.
SAST & DAST Scanning
Static and dynamic application security testing integrated as pipeline quality gates — fails builds on critical findings.
IaC Security Scanning
Checkov, tfsec or Trivy scan every Terraform and Kubernetes manifest before infrastructure changes are applied.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SecOps / DevSecOps Launchpad?
It is a fixed-price engagement that embeds automated security testing into your CI/CD pipeline, deploys a SIEM, applies CIS hardening to your cloud infrastructure, and produces compliance evidence — delivered in 5–7 weeks.
What is the difference between SecOps and DevSecOps?
DevSecOps integrates security tooling into the software development pipeline (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, secrets management). SecOps focuses on detecting and responding to threats in running production systems (SIEM, monitoring, incident response). Our Launchpad covers both.
Which compliance frameworks do you support?
We provide controls and evidence collection for SOC 2 Type I and II, ISO 27001, and CIS Benchmarks (Cloud and Kubernetes). For regulated industries (healthcare, finance), we can extend to HIPAA and PCI-DSS controls.
Does this work with our existing CI/CD tools?
Yes. We integrate security scanning into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, and most other CI/CD platforms. We add scanning stages to your existing pipelines rather than replacing them.
What SIEM platforms do you deploy?
We deploy and configure Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic SIEM, AWS Security Hub, or Splunk Cloud depending on your environment and budget. All configurations include pre-built detection rules and alert triage runbooks.
How long does it take before we start detecting real threats?
The SIEM is operational with baseline correlation rules by the end of week 4. You will begin receiving actionable alerts within days of deployment. We tune the rules during week 6–7 to reduce false positives.
Can you do a penetration test?
We coordinate penetration testing with vetted third-party pen testers as part of the Scale tier or as an add-on to the Build tier. We use the results to validate and improve the controls we deployed.
What does the Managed tier include?
Managed SecOps includes 24/7 SIEM monitoring, alert triage by our security team, monthly executive security reports, patch coordination, and an incident response retainer with defined SLAs.
