The situation
The bank had no DevSecOps practice to transform — it had to be built: the leadership, the playbook, and adoption across development teams that had never worked this way.
The design didn't start from theory. It was modeled on a transformation we had already delivered at a Fortune 500 SaaS provider, adapted to the realities of a regulated bank.
What we did
- 01Designed the DevSecOps practice end to end, transplanting the model proven at a Fortune 500 SaaS provider.
- 02Helped hire a dedicated DevSecOps leader to own the practice permanently.
- 03Built the playbook — standards, pipeline patterns, security practices, and adoption paths.
- 04Ran an extensive adoption campaign to move the practices into the daily work of development teams.
The outcome
- Significant savings and measurable improvement in operational metrics.
- A permanent practice with its own leadership — built to outlast the engagement, not to depend on it.
