DevSecOps Integration: Embedded AppSec for Engineering Teams
Embedded AppSec, without the overhead.
Technical deep-dive into how CredShields integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Linear, Slack, and your existing tool stack. Real YAML, real OIDC trust, real merge-gate behavior. The how-it-works companion to Continuous AppSec.
Native to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and the rest.
We publish first-party actions and pipelines for the four major CI providers. They authenticate via OIDC trust (no long-lived API tokens stored in your secrets), gate merges based on policy you control, and post PR comments with finding context.
- GitHub Actions: published action, OIDC trust, PR comments
- GitLab CI: pipeline template, OIDC trust, MR notes
- Bitbucket Pipelines: published pipe, OAuth + token
- Jenkins: shared library + Pipeline DSL
- CircleCI: orb + context-based credentials
- Azure Pipelines: published task + service connection

Findings land where your team already works.
We integrate with Jira (Server, Data Center, Cloud), Linear, Asana, ClickUp, GitHub Issues, and GitLab Issues. Findings flow into your tracker with severity, owner suggestion, reproduction steps, and fix guidance. Custom field mapping is supported for compliance teams that track SOC 2 control IDs alongside engineering tickets.
- Severity-based routing: critical to engineering manager, medium to backlog
- Owner inference from CODEOWNERS or git blame
- Custom field mapping (SOC 2 control, CVSS, MITRE ATT&CK)
- Automatic ticket close on retest pass
SEC-1247 Multi-tenant isolation: tenant_id parameter accepts other tenants' IDs Severity Critical (CVSS 9.1) Component api/v2/orders Assignee @sarah.k (CODEOWNERS) Sprint Current SOC 2 Control CC6.1 OWASP API1:2023 (BOLA) Reproduction: GET /api/v2/orders?tenant_id=42 Returns tenant 42's orders even when authenticated as tenant 1. Fix Guidance: Remove tenant_id parameter. Derive tenant from session claim. Add backend authorization check. Verify Fix: Comment "/credshields retest" on this ticket. Auto-close on pass.
Tool-stack co-existence
We complement, not replace.
Run alongside our scanning. We dedupe findings and present a unified view. SAST tools find a different class than we do; both have value.
CSPM tools surface known cloud misconfigurations continuously. We chain them into attack paths quarterly. Run both.
Dependency updates are theirs. CVE confirmation in your specific runtime context is ours.
Critical findings can flow to your SIEM as events. Continuous AppSec coverage shows up on the same dashboards as your runtime telemetry.
Critical-severity alert routing. Wakes the right person, not the entire team.
GRC platforms ingest our reports as evidence artifacts. Continuous AppSec evidence flows automatically where API support exists.
