Security Due Diligence & SecDevOps Framework
SecDevOps Implementation for Acquisition Readiness
IT & Cybersecurity
December 2024 - June 2025
Ukraine 🇺🇦
Overview
Our client offers edge technologies and AI data solutions for ALPR, traffic management, access control, and parking management.
When a potential acquisition opportunity arose, the company re-engaged Go Wombat after the prospective buyer requested formal security compliance evidence as part of due diligence. To meet these requirements, the organisation needed to rapidly implement a Secure Development Lifecycle aligned with modern security standards.
Go Wombat led the full implementation of a SecDevOps framework from the ground up, introducing structured security governance, vulnerability management, penetration testing processes, network monitoring, and policy development. The project was completed in approximately seven months, with delivery paced alongside internal collaboration and stakeholder alignment.
Services Provided for This Case
Challenge
The client approached Go Wombat under strict time constraints due to a pending acquisition that required immediate proof of security maturity and compliance readiness. The prospective buyer needed clear evidence of structured governance, documented processes, and technical safeguards as part of due diligence.
At the time, the company relied primarily on basic organisational security practices and lacked a formal Secure Development Lifecycle, vulnerability management framework, penetration testing programme, and incident response procedures. In addition, the product’s technical architecture added complexity, as it was built in C and C++ and relied heavily on third-party components, making vulnerability tracking and risk assessment more challenging.
To successfully implement a robust security framework within the required timeframe, close collaboration with internal engineering, DevOps, and product teams was essential, as key infrastructure knowledge and documentation were initially fragmented.
Solution
To meet the client’s acquisition-driven security requirements, Go Wombat designed and implemented a complete SecDevOps framework from the ground up, combining technical safeguards, governance policies, and operational visibility into one structured system.
We began with a full infrastructure and knowledge audit, identifying all servers, services, access permissions, and ownership structures. Because key technical knowledge was distributed across teams, our specialists conducted collaborative workshops with engineers and leadership to document environments, consolidate expertise, and eliminate blind spots.
Next, we introduced a comprehensive vulnerability management programme, including automated scanning, static and dynamic security testing, and continuous monitoring of third-party components. Since the product was built in C and C++, we developed custom analysis scripts to detect risks that standard tools could not identify.
We then strengthened the security posture through penetration testing, network monitoring, and ongoing threat assessments to ensure continuous protection rather than one-time validation.
Finally, we formalised the organisation’s security governance by creating structured policies covering secure development, deployments, backups, incident response, and threat modelling. This transformed previously informal practices into a documented, auditable security framework aligned with enterprise-level due diligence expectations.
Result
Following the SecDevOps transformation, the organisation established a fully operational Secure Development Lifecycle supported by structured vulnerability management tailored to C and C++ environments. Continuous internal and external network monitoring was implemented, alongside documented incident response, backup procedures, and secure deployment processes.
Most importantly, the company achieved acquisition-ready security documentation and governance maturity required for enterprise-level due diligence. The transformation enabled the successful completion of the acquisition process, with leadership confirming that Go Wombat exceeded expectations throughout the engagement.
Security evolved from informal technical practices into a documented, operationally embedded SecDevOps framework capable of supporting enterprise scrutiny and long-term growth.
