DevSecOps as a Service

Security built in, not bolted on

SOC 2, FedRAMP, and HIPAA-ready engineering, baked into your pipeline from the first commit. Plus the CI/CD plumbing that keeps releases clean and your team out of last-minute audit panics.

How we work

Security that helps you ship, not slow down

Three principles guide every engagement.

01

Built into the pipeline

We wire security into your CI/CD, not around it. Scans, gates, and evidence collect themselves while your team keeps shipping.

02

AI in the loop, humans on the call

AI helps us triage faster and cut through the noise. Humans still make the call on every finding that touches your customers.

03

Compliance, ready when asked

Audit trails build up automatically. SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP queries become a folder, not a fire drill.

Common scenarios

Three situations we see a lot.

An audit is on the calendar

SOC 2 or HIPAA is on the calendar and the technical side isn't ready yet. We build the controls, automate the evidence, and walk you through the auditor's questions.

Cleaning up after an incident

A breach, a near-miss, or a pen test that lit up red. We find the root cause, patch the holes, and rebuild your pipeline so the next alert is a drill, not a crisis.

Selling to enterprise or government

A security questionnaire is standing between you and a signed deal. We help you answer every line with real evidence so security stops killing your contracts.

Why Elevate

Why teams pick us as their security partner

A real partnership, not a vendor handoff. The same team in your kickoff is the team in your pipeline, every day. And the evidence you collect holds up when an auditor reads it.

01

You don't pay until you see progress

We scope our first deliverable before a contract is signed. You get a real plan, a real first milestone, and $0 due until it lands. If the work isn't what we promised, you walk away. That's the partnership we want.

02

The team you meet at kickoff is the team you keep

The person who scopes your work is the same person writing the Terraform, wiring the scans, and reviewing the audit evidence with you. No handoffs, no offshore switch after signature. US-based, accountable, and in it with you.

03

Your evidence folder is ready when the auditor asks

We don't just build controls, we build the paper trail that proves they're working. SOC 2 evidence, HIPAA audit logs, access reviews: all collecting themselves, every day, so an audit is a conversation instead of a fire drill.

Quick security check-in

How we work together

Four steps, one partnership

01

We look before we leap

We start with a real audit of your pipeline, code, and infrastructure against the compliance framework you care about. You get a clear, ranked list of what's open, how risky it is, and exactly what it takes to close it. No scare tactics, just honest findings.

02

We design with your team, not around it

Then we sit down together and shape the security architecture: which tools go where, how IAM gets structured, how secrets are handled, where AI helps triage noise. Your engineers are in the room. Your product constraints drive the design.

03

We wire it in and make it quiet

We build the gates, automate the evidence, and tune the signal so your team isn't drowning in alerts. When we're done, your pipeline is doing more work than your people, and your people are free to focus on the product.

04

We stay close as a partner

Security isn't a one-and-done project. If you want us around, we stick with you: monthly check-ins, quarterly audit-ready evidence packages, and a real person to call the moment something critical drops. No ticket queues.

We went from failing a security review to passing our SOC 2 Type II in under six months. What made the difference was that Elevate didn't feel like a vendor. They felt like part of our engineering team, right up until the auditor signed off.

FAQ

Questions teams usually ask us

It means we run the security pipeline alongside your team. Scanning, dependency checks, secrets management, container security, compliance monitoring, and the noise triage that comes with all of it. You keep shipping your product. We keep the pipeline healthy, the alerts meaningful, and the evidence ready for your auditors.

Mostly to filter noise. AI helps us triage CVEs by real-world exploitability, spot suspicious dependency updates, cluster related alerts, and summarize incidents for the people on call. The goal is that your engineers only look at things that need a human. A person on our team always reviews anything AI flags before it turns into action.

If you're starting with a reasonably clean architecture, SOC 2 Type I readiness lands in about 8 to 12 weeks. Type II requires a minimum six-month evidence window after your controls are in place. We'll scope the real timeline for your setup in our first audit, and we'll tell you honestly if it looks faster or slower than average.

Almost always, yes. Most teams come to us with a partial pipeline. We look at what's working, what's noisy, and what's missing, then we extend or replace only where it's worth it. We're not going to rip out something that's doing its job just to sell you a new tool.

Yes. We've delivered pipelines that lined up with SOC 2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP architectures. We build both the technical controls and the documentation your auditor will read, and we'll sit in on the review with your team if that helps.

Tell us. We include a support window with every engagement, and most clients stay with us on a retainer for ongoing monitoring and CVE response. Either way, the person who built your pipeline is the person who picks up the phone. Not a ticket queue.

A one-time implementation usually runs between $40,000 and $120,000 depending on the size of your codebase and which compliance framework you're targeting. Ongoing retainers start around $8,000 per month. Try the estimator above for a realistic range, or book a free 30-minute call and we'll give you a clearer number for your exact situation.
