CSEngineering DevSecOps Platform

Modular. Secure. GitOps-native. Built for mission-critical cloud workloads.

Welcome to the DevSecOps Platform by CSEngineering — an enterprise-grade infrastructure framework engineered for DoD, government agencies, and security-first teams. Whether you're scaling Kubernetes, building CI/CD, or enforcing zero-trust policies — this platform gives you full control, with cloud-native precision and compliance baked in.

Platform One-Aligned: Built to support Big Bang, Iron Bank, and the Party Bus DevSecOps stack, our platform embraces the gold standard of DoD software factories.

This platform is compatible with the Platform One ecosystem, making it easy to adopt tools like Big Bang for GitOps-based deployment, Iron Bank for hardened container images, and Party Bus for pre-integrated DevSecOps tooling across secure enclaves.

Why Choose This Platform?

Not just pipelines. A command center for your secure, automated cloud.

  • CI/CD pipelines powered by GitHub Actions + FluxCD
  • Security-first AKS clusters with RBAC, AAD, and workload identity
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Helm
  • Policy as Code with Gatekeeper & OPA
  • Integrated observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki)
  • Azure Government-native deployments
  • Platform One hardened image sourcing via Iron Bank

Security-First Design

Every deployment includes:

  • Container Image Scanning (via IronBank or Trivy)
  • Zero Trust K8s architecture
  • Enforced policies via Gatekeeper
  • Access Governance using Azure AD and Kubernetes RBAC
  • Platform One alignment with hardened components
