Tiger Dojo Black Belt: Managed AppSec & DevSecOps

Black Belt is Tiger Dojo's managed application-security program for software teams that need real AppSec coverage without standing up an internal program from scratch. It works the way your team already ships, embedded in your SDLC, wired into your CI/CD, and focused on findings your engineers can act on rather than dashboards nobody reads. The platform underneath is Aikido Security, and Tiger Dojo runs it for you as an Aikido reseller partner: we supply the license, operate the tooling, and stay on after go-live.

1. Discovery call (Week 1): We assess your current security maturity, repository landscape, CI/CD tooling, and compliance goals. Deliverable: scoping document and recommended service model.

2. Onboarding sprint (Weeks 2-3): We configure Aikido in your environment, provision IAM roles, integrate scanners into your pipelines, tune rulesets to reduce noise, and validate initial findings. Deliverable: configured pipelines, initial triage report, and onboarding checklist.

3. Steady-state operations (Ongoing): Continuous scanning, expert validation, prioritized remediation guidance, and compliance evidence mapping run on a recurring cadence. Deliverable: monthly security posture reports, triaged findings in your ticketing system, and framework-mapped evidence.

Prerequisites: Git-based source control (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), a CI/CD pipeline (AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or equivalent), and an AWS account for platform billing. Your team assigns a point of contact and grants repository and cloud read access during onboarding.

Full Managed AppSec Program. We own your application-security lifecycle end to end. From tool configuration and integration through secure design reviews, threat modeling, and continuous vulnerability management, we act as your external AppSec team. SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning, SBOM creation, and risk triage run automatically, then get expert validation before they reach your developers. The result is fewer false positives, sharper prioritization, and faster remediation. We also help you establish governance practices, define security policies, and align with SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.

Modular AppSec Services. For teams with specific gaps or existing tooling, individual modules can be consumed on their own: managed scanning (SAST, DAST), SBOM and supply-chain risk visibility, secure architecture assessments, or developer-focused remediation guidance. Pick what you need and add more as your security program matures. Every module carries the same emphasis on developer experience, so recommendations arrive with code-aware context your team can act on without friction.

Aikido Security's API-first platform gives Black Belt unified visibility across code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code. Tiger Dojo manages the tooling and does the heavy lifting, scan orchestration, tuning, validation, and remediation guidance, so your engineers stay focused on building.

AWS integrations configured and operated by Tiger Dojo:

• AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild: Security scans run as a build step in your pipeline. We build the CodeBuild project and wire it in for you.

• Amazon ECR: Container images scanned for known vulnerabilities with daily re-scans that catch new CVEs even when images haven't changed.

• AWS CSPM: Continuous monitoring for misconfigurations across Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS, EC2, ECS, and Route 53, including subdomain takeover detection.

• Amazon EC2: Agentless VM scanning inspects instances without installing anything on the host.

• AWS Inspector ingestion: Deduplicates and filters container CVE findings so Inspector results land in the same prioritized view.

• Cloud asset search and alerts: Query AWS resources in plain language and set real-time alerts for risky changes.

Aikido is a validated AWS Partner Network (APN) member, and the license can be billed through your existing AWS account.

Security without outcomes is shelfware. Black Belt produces measurable improvement in your application-security posture, from policy-driven remediation to ongoing guidance that ties engineering work to risk-management goals. Whether you are chasing a compliance milestone, onboarding security for the first time, or scaling secure development across teams, Tiger Dojo delivers with the precision of a team that works in AppSec every day.
