OffSecDevOps
OffSecDevOps is the application of DevOps engineering within offensive security teams — combining automation, agentic orchestration, and governed human expertise to deliver repeatable, auditable testing across both episodic engagements and continuous validation programmes.
Why it matters
Engineered delivery
Version-controlled, reproducible test runs with clear agent telemetry, evidence, and auditability for human review.
Human-in-the-loop
Agentic tooling accelerates discovery and exploitation; humans govern autonomy boundaries, interpret risk, and own final decisions.
Assurance at pace
Applies the cadence and rigour of DevOps to offensive testing — enabling continuous validation and CTEM-aligned assurance without losing control.
Outline Maturity Framework
A practical path from engineered, episodic engagements to governed continuous validation. Use this as a basis for discussion, to benchmark teams and plan capability development in an AI-augmented world.
Level 1 — Engineered Engagements
Episodic tests run via pipelines, with scope and parameters defined in configuration/code for reproducibility, logging, and audit.
Level 2 — Repeatable Orchestration
Reusable workflows across engagements; standardised finding schema; automated report generation with built-in human approval checkpoints and basic AI guardrails.
Level 3 — Integrated Testing
Event- or schedule-triggered runs for key assets; agentic selection of tools; orchestration with clear escalation paths, and integration with ticketing and telemetry for observability.
Level 4 — Continuous Validation
Continuous, agent-assisted validation with live dashboards, governed autonomy limits, automated retesting on change, and alignment with CTEM/exposure management programmes.
