DevOps and DevSecOps Consulting
CI/CD pipeline hardening, secrets management, container and IaC scanning, and security gates in the SDLC, designed so the pipeline produces SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence as it runs.
DevSecOps consulting builds security into the pipeline that ships your software: hardened CI/CD configuration, managed secrets, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, dependency and SBOM controls, and gates that stop a bad change before it merges. BD Emerson designs each control to produce SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence as a byproduct of normal delivery, so branch protections, review history, and scan logs become the audit record instead of a quarterly screenshot hunt. We work in the tools your engineers already run, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform, and vault-based secrets managers among them. Because we also perform SOC 2 examinations through our CPA attest arm, controls are built to what an auditor will actually test.
Inventory repos, pipelines, deploy paths, and where secrets actually live. Pipeline count and team size drive the effort: one product team with five pipelines maps in days, a platform organization with fifty takes a few weeks.
Lock down the CI/CD system itself: runner isolation, scoped tokens, protected branches, required reviews, and OIDC federation to the cloud so long-lived deploy keys can be revoked for good.
Scanning lands report-only first: secrets, containers, IaC, and dependencies. Once thresholds are tuned to your real finding volume, gates switch to blocking on the severities you choose, and delivery speed is measured to prove nothing stalled.
Each control is mapped to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A, and evidence collection is automated from the pipeline: scan logs, review records, deploy approvals, access reviews. Audit season becomes an export.
Every gate and scan is designed against a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement from day one, so the same pipeline that ships code builds the audit record.
We perform SOC 2 examinations through our CPA attest arm and run ISO 27001 internal audits, so controls are built to what an examiner will actually test. For ISO, an accredited registrar certifies; we prepare you and have no stake in passing you.
Gates are tuned against your real finding volume and measured against lead time. Block what matters, ticket the rest, and let exceptions expire on a date instead of living forever.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.
Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.
Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.
Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.
We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
