THINK SAFE. THINK ICS.

Secure Development

Because security can't wait.

Your software is strong, but is it secure?

Many companies develop at full speed, but without integrated security.

We know this situation. And we solve it!

By implementing security directly in the development process. DevSecOps stands for Development, Security and Operations and describes an approach in which security is part of the software development process right from the start, not just at the end. With the Shift Left approach, security is considered early on in the development process. Not just as a requirement, but as a permanent component of software development. Security tests are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.

Your challenges: We listen. And act.

Do you know these thoughts? "We certainly need to develop, but..."

1. regulatory uncertainty

"We don't know exactly what NIS2, the CRA, IEC 62443 or ISO 27001 mean for our development."

 

We help you to interpret requirements correctly and implement them securely. With processes that stand up to audits,increase your security and are practically applicable.

2. lack of industry knowledge

"We don't need a standard solution - we need someone who understands our industry."

Whether energy, KRITIS, logistics or automotive: we have industry-specific expertise - for your exact requirements.

3. uncertainty regarding costs & ROI

"Is it really worth it - or will it be more expensive than expected?"

Taking protection goals into account directly during software development saves time and money before the software goes live at the end customer.

4. hurdles to integration

"We already have tools, processes, DevOps - how can it all fit together?"

Our solutions are not a parallel world. We integrate the security aspect directly into your existing landscape - not on top of it.

5. communication & support

"We need contacts who react - not just promise."

 

Solid contacts, a direct line, quick feedback. If there's a problem, we're there. We offer a maintenance and on-call service.

6. lack of transparency

"We don't know whether our security measures are really working."

We make security visible.With clear reports, comprehensible tests and tangible results.

7. fear of losing control

"We don't want to let everything out of our hands - but we still want to be safe."

Understandable. That's why you retain an overview at all times. We provide expertise, you stay in control.

8. complexity & learning curve

"New tools, new processes - how are we supposed to manage that?"

We support your teams with sensitivity, provide practical coaching and create connections where others see hurdles.

Are you looking for IT/OT security for security-critical systems?

Our secure development services are aimed at companies that develop traditional software, web solutions or cloud applications. If you are looking for protection for functionally secure systems (e.g. rail, industry, control technology), we recommend our details page:

What exactly is "Secure Development Lifecycle" (SDL)?

SDL is a structured process for integrating security measures into every phase of the software development process, from planning to maintenance.

Why is a late penetration test not enough?

Because safety must be considered right from the start. Late tests discover problems - but do not prevent them. We rely on security by design and default.

Which sectors do you support?

Our customers come from the energy, automotive, rail and industrial sectors, among others. We are particularly strong where regulatory requirements meet complex IT.

Is your approach also suitable for agile projects?

Yes, our methods work both in classic waterfall models and in agile SCRUM approaches - and can be flexibly integrated into existing procedures and workflows.

Can we start small with you?

Absolutely. We offer everything from selective support (e.g. secure code review) to holistic security concepts. Modular, scalable, transparent.

What is the difference to "Security for Safety"?

Security for Safety focuses on safety-critical systems with functional safety (e.g. railroad technology). Secure Development relates to general software development, such as for web, cloud or internal applications.

How fast can you start?

Often with a one-day assessment or a security code review. We scale flexibly according to requirements - without a long lead time.

Do you also work with internal development teams?

Absolutely. We see ourselves as a partner, not an outsourcer. Our job is to make your teams secure - not to replace them.

Which tools do you use?

We work independently of manufacturers - depending on the setup, e.g. with SonarQube, GitLab, OWASP ZAP and many more.

What does it cost?

It depends on the scope - but: Our services are modular, transparently calculated and can be easily fitted into your budget. We will be happy to provide you with a specific quote.

Let's talk together about the best way forward for you.

Whether it's a workshop, review or setting up your secure development landscape: with ICS, you have the right partner at your side.
