Why teams choose Sosene for secure software development
Secure software development starts early, because most security problems enter the code during the build. They are also cheapest to fix there. So we make security part of every stage, with automated checks in the pipeline and reviews by engineers who know what to look for. In addition, AI helps us spot risky code early.
Security from the design stage
We find threats and sensitive data before building, so we design protection in instead of patching it on later.
Checks in every build
Code scanning, dependency checks and secret detection also run automatically in the CI/CD pipeline.
Human review where it counts
AI flags suspicious patterns. Then an experienced engineer reviews login, payments and data handling.
Evidence you can show
We document findings, fixes and decisions. As a result, customer questionnaires and audits get easier.
Security that moves at the speed of your releases
Security reviews should not hold every release for weeks. With DevSecOps, most checks run automatically on each change, so people can focus on the risks that matter. As a result, your team keeps shipping, and each version is safer than the one before.
Secure software development services we offer
Our secure software development services cover new products and apps already in production. For example, we test against the OWASP Top 10 risks.
Threat modelling
A structured look at what could go wrong in your application, and the controls to prevent it.
Secure code review
Manual and AI-assisted review of your code for common flaws and risky logic.
DevSecOps pipelines
Automated security testing, dependency scanning and secret detection added to your build process.
Application security testing
We test web apps, mobile apps and APIs against common attacks, and we explain each fix clearly.
Vulnerability remediation
We fix what testing finds, in our code or in yours. Then we verify each fix.
Secure coding training
Practical sessions for your developers, based on the issues we actually find in your code.
Three ways to work with an AI-driven team
The commercial model changes with your goals. The way the team works does not.
AI-assisted full outsourcing
Project-based delivery
We take ownership of the whole project, from discovery and solution design through build, testing, deployment and launch. Delivery runs under agile governance, with AI applied to requirement analysis, development support, QA preparation, documentation and reporting. A named engineer signs off on every output.
AI-driven dedicated agile team
A standing team with committed sprint outcomes
A dedicated agile team aligned to your roadmap and your backlog. Sprint deliverables are planned and agreed with you against your priorities, backlog readiness and team capacity. The team applies AI across the lifecycle, from requirement analysis and user stories to coding, QA, documentation and sprint reporting.
AI-enabled staff augmentation
Specialists under your direction
Technology professionals who join your in-house team and work under your direction, process and management. They bring the technical depth you asked for plus AI-assisted working methods, which shows up as faster development, better documentation and stronger test preparation.
How security fits into our delivery
In secure software development, we add security work to each stage of the lifecycle, and we scale it to your risk.
01 Requirements
Security and privacy needs, agreed next to the functional ones.
02 Design
Threat modelling and secure architecture choices for data, access and integrations.
03 Development
Secure coding standards, AI-assisted checks and peer review on sensitive code.
04 Pipeline
Automated scans for code, dependencies, containers and leaked secrets on every change.
05 Testing
Security testing before major releases, with findings tracked to closure.
06 Operations
Patches, alerts on new flaws in the libraries you use, and regular reviews.
What keeps delivery predictable
Speed only counts if the result holds up. These practices sit behind every engagement, whichever model you choose.

Frequently asked questions
What is DevSecOps?
It means adding security checks to the same automated pipeline that builds and deploys your software. As a result, we catch problems with every change instead of in an occasional audit.
Can you review an application another team built?
Yes. We review the code and configuration, report findings by severity, and can fix them or support your team while they do.
How is this different from your Cybersecurity Services?
This page is about the software itself: how we design, code and release it. In contrast, Cybersecurity Services covers the wider environment, such as endpoints, networks and managed security.
Does security slow development down?
Less than fixing incidents does. Automated checks add only minutes to a build. In addition, catching issues early avoids costly rework after release.
How secure development engagements are priced
Two commercial models, and one honest answer about numbers.
| Fixed price | Time and materials | How we reach a number |
|---|---|---|
| One price agreed in the contract. It fits feasibility studies, proofs of concept and small pieces of work where the requirements are settled and unlikely to move. | You pay for the hours worked each month, with an optional cap that sets a ceiling for budget control. This suits advisory work, business analysis, architecture and planning, agile delivery, and modernising software you already run. | Every estimate starts with a short discovery call. You get a written proposal with named engineers, a delivery timeline and a price before anything is committed. Cost depends on scope, integrations and compliance requirements, so we quote per project rather than from a list. |
