FourTwoCMD is a DevSecOps consultancy for engineering teams that need to ship fast without shipping risk. We embed security into the way you already build, instead of reviewing it after the fact.
For years we watched the same pattern: teams building great software, then finding out about security gaps in a pen-test report weeks after launch — under deadline pressure, with the expensive fixes already baked in.
The problem was never that developers didn't care. It was that security sat outside the pipeline, as a phase that happened last. So we built our practice around a simple idea: make security a stage in the pipeline, caught automatically at commit, not a document that lands after the code already shipped.
Ten years and forty-odd hardened pipelines later, that's still the whole job — wiring the guardrails in so teams can move fast and stay covered.
(The name's a nod to the command line and to the answer to everything. We keep the security part more grounded.)
Not a phase, not a final gate. Controls run at every step, so an issue is caught by the next check it hits.
Wired into your existing CI/CD and tooling, not a parallel process your team has to remember to run.
Guardrails should make shipping faster, not slower. If security feels like a blocker, we built it wrong.
Boutique, senior, and hands-on. When you hire us, these are the people on the other end.
Between the three of us, we bring more than 50 years combined across financial services, macro trading, retail banking, health tech, consultancy and government. We've been there and done that—which means we know the right path to take and the right processes to use. That experience has shaped our core belief: secure-by-default cloud for teams who can't afford to get it wrong. We've watched security get bolted on too late one too many times, and we've spent our careers proving it doesn't have to be that way.
