An experienced application-security tester who works inside your development process, not outside it. Instead of a once-a-year test that finds problems too late, you get continuous, hands-on security testing embedded in every sprint, catching issues while they are still cheap to fix.
Most teams bolt security testing on at the end: a penetration test days before release, findings that arrive too late to fix cleanly, and a scramble to remediate under deadline. Embedding a security tester in your SDLC changes that economics entirely. Vulnerabilities are found in the sprint that introduces them, threat modelling happens at design time, and security becomes a property of how you build, not an audit you survive.
We provide that expert as an extension of your team. They join your ceremonies, review designs and pull requests, run targeted security tests against each build, wire security checks into your CI/CD pipeline, and coach your developers so the whole team gets better over time. You get the rigour of a specialist tester without carrying a full-time senior AppSec hire, scaled up or down as your release cadence demands.
It is the natural complement to a point-in-time assessment: the embedded expert keeps your security posture healthy release-to-release, and a periodic independent application security test validates it from the outside.
An embedded tester covers the whole SDLC, not just a scan at the end.
Reviews architecture and user stories at design time, identifies threats and abuse cases, and defines security requirements before a line of code is written.
Reviews pull requests for security-relevant changes, flags insecure patterns, and gives developers specific, actionable guidance in the flow of their work.
Runs targeted manual and tool-assisted security tests against each significant build, new features, changed endpoints, auth flows, so issues surface in the sprint that created them.
Integrates SAST, DAST, dependency and secrets scanning into your pipeline, tunes them to cut false-positive noise, and defines the gates that block genuinely risky releases.
Triages findings by real risk, eliminates false positives, and tracks remediation to closure, so your backlog reflects what actually matters, not scanner noise.
Levels up your engineers with secure-coding guidance, brown-bag sessions and just-in-time advice, so the whole team writes safer code and depends less on the specialist over time.
We learn your stack, release cadence and risk profile, and match a tester with the right skills, web, API, mobile, cloud, and the seniority you need.
They join your team’s tools and ceremonies, standups, sprint planning, your issue tracker and pipeline, and establish a lightweight security workflow that fits how you already work.
They run security testing every sprint, review designs and code, manage the pipeline gates and drive findings to closure, with a SICHERTEN senior reviewing quality behind them.
They coach your developers and mature your DevSecOps practice, and we scale the engagement up or down as your roadmap changes.
Tell us your stack and release cadence, and we’ll match an embedded tester who fits your team.
