SDLC Maturity Platform

Ship faster.
Prove it safer.

Trusted Path gives engineering leaders in regulated sectors a measurable path from ad‑hoc practice to continuous assurance. Security, privacy and resilience treated as engineering disciplines, not compliance overhead.

The shift

Regulation is accelerating. Engineering is under pressure. The middle is where teams break.

01

Rules are multiplying

DORA, NIS2, CMMC, the AI Act and updated ISO controls have all landed inside the same planning window. Each one lands on the same engineers.

02

Tooling was not built for this

GRC automation proves controls to auditors but does nothing inside a sprint. Threat modelling tools live apart from delivery. Spreadsheets carry the rest.

03

Velocity and assurance fight

Engineering leaders are asked to go faster and prove more, at the same time, with the same people. The answer is not another portal. It is a measurable path.

The platform

Three disciplines. One engineering practice.

Trusted Path unifies the three concerns that matter to regulators and to engineers: security, privacy and resilience. Treated as disciplines inside the delivery lifecycle, not bolt‑on audits at the end of it.

Discipline 01

Security

Threat modelling, secure design review and vulnerability management embedded into the places engineers already work.

  • Lightweight threat modelling with reusable patterns
  • Control mapping to OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF
  • Evidence generated from delivery, not reconstructed after
Discipline 02

Privacy

Data protection by design, surfaced at the point features are planned, not after launch.

  • Data flow capture tied to user stories
  • DPIA triggers surfaced in the backlog
  • Lineage records that stand up to regulator scrutiny
Discipline 03

Resilience

Operational resilience engineered in: failure modes named, tested, and owned by the teams that ship.

  • Dependency and supplier risk mapped to services
  • Scenario testing aligned to DORA expectations
  • Recovery posture reported as a live metric
Why we exist

Mission and Vision.

Mission

To help software development teams produce secure, privacy‑enabled and resilient software.

Vision

To help enterprises produce and use mature software that is trustworthy.

Software maturity is the combined strength of three interdependent pillars: security, privacy and operational resilience. Our platform makes this maturity measurable, achievable and visible to every team.

The five‑level TRUST framework

A measurable path from firefighting to flow.

Every engineering team sits somewhere on the curve. Trusted Path maps where you are, where you need to be for the regulations you face, and the smallest next move that gets you there.

Built for

Engineering leaders who have to answer to both sides.

Trusted Path is built for teams of 50 to 1,000 in financial services, healthcare and critical infrastructure. Where delivery has to move, and where the burden of proof is not optional.

Role 01CTO

Chief Technology Officer

A platform view of engineering health across teams, mapped to the regulatory story you have to tell the board.

Role 02VP

VP of Engineering

A clear path from current practice to target maturity, with the smallest next move always named.

Role 03Head

Head of Engineering

Team‑level assessments that surface the gap, not the blame, and keep the sprint intact.

Role 04PMO

Programme Manager

A single source of truth for programme‑wide assurance, evidence and dependency risk.

What we build on

Empathy, transparency, trust.

Engineering assurance has a reputation for being adversarial. Ours does not. The three values below are how we build the product, and what we ask of the teams we work with.

Trusted Path values triangle showing Empathy, Transparency and Trust with the shield logo at the centre.
Three values. One practice.
V.01

Empathy

Assurance tools are usually pointed at engineers, rarely at the work engineers actually do. We build the other way round. Understanding the constraints is the precondition for changing them.

V.02

Transparency

Maturity scores are auditable end to end. No black boxes. No proprietary magic. Every number traces back to a decision a human can challenge and a piece of evidence a human can inspect.

V.03

Trust

Trust is earned inside sprints, not inside slide decks. We measure ourselves on whether engineering teams choose to keep using the platform after the auditor has left the room.

How we differ

Not another GRC portal.

The market has plenty of tools for proving controls to auditors and plenty of tools for running threat models in isolation. Trusted Path is the layer that makes them useful inside engineering.
