Shift-left security — what it means in practice
Security checks don't belong at the end of the SDLC. We map every shift-left tool to the right CI stage and explain which signals are worth blocking on (most aren't).
- · SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scanning, secret detection — when each runs
- · False-positive triage: why most teams disable security tools after 6 weeks
- · The 'severity gate' pattern: which findings block a merge, which warn, which log
- · DevSecOps in CI: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins — same playbook, different syntax
- · Compliance evidence pipeline: SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPDP Act — automated where possible
