A shift-left security gate that runs on every push. Each stage streams its own findings (dependencies, static analysis, secrets, infrastructure, licenses), then a configurable policy gate decides whether to block or pass the build.

My Role

DevSecOps and security automation engineer

What I Built

Shift-left security gate that scans a repository on push for hardcoded secrets, vulnerable dependencies, and injection patterns, then blocks or passes the build with a findings report.

Evidence

Working interface, documented system behavior, and implementation-level decisions.

Technical Architecture

From system input to explainable output.

The control gate is shown as a first-class stage, not an afterthought added around the workflow.

Five stages connect inputs to processing, security controls, stored state, and user output.SYSTEM FLOW / DEVSECPIPELINETRACEABLE PIPELINE01INPUTSCode, builds &dependenciesVERIFIED STAGE02PROCESSINGScan & correlateVERIFIED STAGE03SECURITY CONTROLSPolicy gatesCONTROL GATE04STORAGE / STATEFinding historyVERIFIED STAGE05USER OUTPUTRelease decisionVERIFIED STAGEINPUT TO OUTCOME / EVIDENCE PRESERVED

Technical Decisions

  • Detected injection-prone patterns including string-built SQL, shell interpolation, and unsafe deserialisation.

Security Considerations

  • The public case study makes no additional security claim beyond the documented controls shown in the architecture.

Outcome & Evidence

  • Gated the build on severity so a critical finding blocks and a low finding annotates, keeping the pipeline usable.
  • Produced findings with file, line, and remediation rather than a pass or fail verdict, so a developer can act inside the same commit.
  • Kept scan time bounded so the gate runs on every push instead of being skipped for speed.
