SECURE SOFTWARE FACTORIES

TRUST EVERY STEP FROM COMMIT TO RELEASE

Attackers no longer need to break your product when they can break the pipeline that builds it. Station Zero designs, attacks and hardens software factories, so every release can show where it came from, what is inside it and who approved it.

WHY NOW

The build system is now part of the attack surface

Customers and regulators are starting to ask for proof of how software was built, not just a scan of the finished product. Meanwhile AI coding assistants and agents are writing and merging code faster than teams can review it.

POISONED DEPENDENCIES
Typosquatted, hijacked and confused packages ride straight into production builds.
COMPROMISED PIPELINES
CI runners, plug-ins and over-privileged tokens can alter code after review.
AI-WRITTEN CODE
Assistants and agents introduce code, packages and actions that need their own controls.
BILLS OF MATERIALS
CERT-In guidelines describe SBOMs and AI BOMs, and enterprise buyers increasingly ask for them.
EXPORT MARKETS
The EU Cyber Resilience Act’s vulnerability reporting duties have applied since September 2026.
PROOF, NOT PROMISES
Signed provenance lets anyone verify a release instead of trusting a questionnaire.
WHAT WE OFFER

From the first commit to the signed release

01

FACTORY BLUEPRINT

A reference design for your source control, build, test and release pipeline, mapped to the SLSA build levels and NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework.

02

PIPELINE RED TEAMING

We attack a replica of your CI/CD system the way an adversary would: stolen tokens, malicious pull requests, poisoned runners and tampered artefacts.

03

PROVENANCE AND SIGNING

Signed build attestations and artefact signing, with verification enforced at deploy time so unsigned or altered builds never ship.

04

SBOM AND AI BOM

Accurate bills of materials generated in the pipeline, covering open-source components and the models, datasets and prompts inside AI features.

05

DEPENDENCY RISK

Curated package mirrors, pinning and update policies, and a triage process that separates exploitable issues from scanner noise.

06

AI CODING GUARDRAILS

Sandboxing, permissions and review gates for AI assistants and coding agents, tested against prompt injection and unsafe package suggestions.

07

SECRETS AND IDENTITY

Short-lived, workload-based credentials in place of long-lived tokens, least-privilege runners and protected branches that hold up under pressure.

08

ASSURANCE EVIDENCE

Evidence packs that answer customer security questionnaires and map your factory to CERT-In guidance and export-market rules.

HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS

Map, attack, harden, prove

STEP 1
MAP
Trace every path from a developer’s laptop to production: repos, runners, registries, secrets and people.
STEP 2
ATTACK
Red-team a replica of the pipeline in our sealed lab to find the shortest route to a tampered release.
STEP 3
HARDEN
Work with your engineers to close those routes, in your tools and without slowing delivery.
STEP 4
PROVE
Leave behind signed provenance, bills of materials and evidence your customers and auditors can check.
OUR GROUND RULES
Authorised testing only
We attack replicas, or live systems only within an agreed, written scope.
Your code stays yours
Source and findings are handled in the sealed lab and never used to train models.
Tool-agnostic
We work with the platforms you already use and sell no products of our own.
Coordinated disclosure
Flaws found in third-party tools go to their maintainers under an agreed process.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Product engineering and SaaS teams
Platform, DevOps and security teams
Start-ups preparing for enterprise customers
Enterprises and global capability centres with in-house development
