Secure by Design (SbD)

Embedding security at every layer to build resilient, future-ready enterprises

Overview

As cyber risks accelerate beyond traditional defenses, organizations must shift from reactive security to foundational protection. Secure by Design (SbD) embeds protection into every layer of your systems from the very first blueprint, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed before they emerge. By integrating zero-trust principles, continuous threat modelling, and compliance-driven engineering into the development lifecycle, we help enterprises build resilient, audit-ready digital ecosystems that stand strong against future threats.

Expertise

Expertise

Our expertise is built on deep technical knowledge and proven frameworks that ensure security is not an afterthought but a fundamental design principle. We focus on creating robust, compliant, and future-ready systems.

Security Architecture & Engineering

We design Zero Trust-aligned security architectures and secure blueprints from requirements to deployment, adhering to industry security guidelines and standards. Our process identifies application touchpoints prone to vulnerabilities and embeds security controls across devices, applications, networks, data, and cloud environments. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is identified at the project level, with a clear handling plan to ensure compliance and protection.

Threat Prevention & Vulnerability Management

Our proactive security approach identifies and mitigates risks early through structured threat modeling, SBOM analysis, and continuous vulnerability scanning. We leverage both Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools to analyze code comprehensively for potential security gaps. This helps organizations move from reactive patching to proactive prevention.

Identity & Access Governance

We enforce strong authentication, multi-factor access, and dynamic privilege management across platforms. Device onboarding and user lifecycle controls ensure least-privilege principles are upheld. Regular access audits and adaptive policies prevent lateral movement and unauthorized escalation.

Compliance & Data Privacy Engineering

We engineer systems to comply with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and emerging privacy frameworks. Data encryption, tokenization, and policy-driven privacy enforcement are implemented at scale. This helps organizations remain audit-ready and avoid costly compliance penalties.

Security Automation & Orchestration

We integrate security into CI/CD pipelines through DevSecOps best practices and continuous security testing. SOC orchestration and AI-powered anomaly detection enable proactive incident response. This automation reduces operational overhead and ensures consistent security enforcement.

Application Security

Embed security across the entire development lifecycle through a Secure-by-Design approach. We implement application contract validation during design, static code analysis using tools like Fortify and WhiteSource, dynamic testing with OWASP ZAP, and runtime protection via IAST and RASP fully integrated into DevSecOps workflows.

  • SAST/SCA during development and DAST/IAST during testing
  • Application contract validation in the design phase

Runtime protection through RASP tools
