CONSULTANCY
Digital Interruption offers more than a one-off penetration test, we provide hands-on security consultancy that fits how your teams work.
We offer threat modelling, DevSecOps support, application security reviews, and compliance guidance. Our consultants work with your engineers and product teams on the channels you already use, giving clear, practical advice when it counts.
We offer a range of services including general security advice and guidance, a full suite of AppSec, Compliance, and DevSecOps services.
Finding an in-house AppSec Subject Matter Expert can be difficult. Insecure software creates compliance risk, opens the door to attackers, and increases the chance of data leaks. With the right guidance, teams ship safer software faster.
Our Virtual AppSec SME gives you remote, on-tap access to Digital Interruption consultants who embed into your workflow. We join your preferred comms platform and ticketing, learn your products, and respond quickly, so you feel like you have another team member focused on security.
Rather than relying only on penetration testing, which often exposes issues late, we help you build security into design and delivery, reducing rework, cost, and uncertainty.
What we can do:
Run and document threat modelling for new features and systems
Review designs and architectures for web, mobile, API, and cloud services
Define secure patterns for authentication, authorisation, session management, and secrets
Select, tune, and integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, and container scanning into CI/CD
Review code and pull requests for high risk areas and common flaws
Triage findings, set risk and severity, and shape a pragmatic remediation backlog
Create and enforce release gates, secure SDLC checkpoints, and change control
Review infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, and cloud configuration baselines
Establish dependency and supply chain hygiene, including SBOM practices
Map controls to standards relevant to your applications and data, including UK GDPR, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, NCSC guidance, and OWASP ASVS
Advise on data protection by design and default, special category data handling, data mapping, retention, and lawful basis
Lead Data Protection Impact Assessments and convert outcomes into technical and process controls
Yes. A pen test tells you what slipped through. Our AppSec SME stops most of it getting in. We sit with your team while you build, review designs and changes, and flag risks before they become tickets. We still plan focused pen tests at the right points so you are not finding surprises at the end.
We join your normal channels, Slack or Teams. Ask us questions, tag us into threads, pull us into stand-ups when needed. We review code, configs and cloud changes, write findings in your backlog, and give clear fixes. You get fast answers for small things and scheduled time for deeper work.
Quick questions usually get a same-day reply in working hours. Bigger asks get a timeboxed slot so you know when to expect an answer. If something urgent pops up, tell us and we’ll triage it first.
Whoever needs it. Most clients start with a product squad or security champions, then add people as needed. We’ll suggest the right shape so it stays useful and not noisy.
We sign an NDA, follow your data handling rules, and keep access to the minimum. We store only what we need to do the work, keep it in your systems where possible, and delete anything we hold when the job ends. If you share credentials, we use your vault and rotate them after use.
A named lead, agreed response window, review time for code and configs, security input on designs, risk calls on changes, and short written notes that map to your backlog. You also get a simple monthly summary so leadership sees progress.
If you need assurance for customers or regulators, you still need testing and sometimes certification. We plan that with you so it supports delivery, rather than block it.
