[About TechSonar]

Security engineered in.
Not bolted on.

TechSonar is a specialist DevSecOps consultancy. We embed senior security engineers directly into engineering teams to build security into the way organisations design, build, and operate software, continuously, not as a one-off exercise.

Our mission

Make security a competitive advantage, not a compliance burden.

Most organisations treat security as something that happens to them, audits, incidents, regulatory notices. We believe security should be engineered into the way you build and operate software from the start.

That means senior engineers embedded in your team, working in your delivery process, building security capability that stays with your organisation long after the engagement ends.

It means compliance programmes that do not end at certification, continuous evidence collection, control monitoring, and embedded support through every audit window. And it means prioritisation driven by real business risk, not by what is easiest to evidence for an auditor.

Our principles

How we think about security.

[01]

Embedded, not external

We work inside your team, in your sprints, your standups, your Slack. Not as an external vendor who delivers a report and disappears. The security knowledge stays with your organisation.

[02]

Continuous, not point-in-time

Annual penetration tests and point-in-time compliance assessments create a false sense of security. Real security is continuous, monitoring, testing, and improving every day of the year.

[03]

Risk-led, not checkbox-driven

Compliance frameworks are a floor, not a ceiling. We prioritise by real business risk, what would actually hurt your organisation, not by what is easiest to evidence for an auditor.

[04]

Senior engineers only

Every TechSonar engagement is staffed with senior engineers. No juniors learning on your time. No automated-only outputs dressed up as expert analysis. Real expertise, applied directly.

Engagement model

How a TechSonar engagement works.

Understand

We start by understanding your technology, your team, your risk profile, and your regulatory obligations. Not a generic questionnaire, a real conversation with your engineers and leadership.

Design

We design an engagement that fits your situation. Whether that is a rapid accelerator programme, a continuous DevSecOps engagement, or a bespoke security programme, it is scoped to your actual needs.

Embed

Our engineers work inside your team. We use your tools, your processes, your communication channels. Security becomes part of how you work, not something that happens to you.

Sustain

We build capability inside your organisation. When we leave, the security posture, the processes, and the knowledge remain. We measure success by how little you need us over time.

Careers

We hire senior engineers. Full stop.

TechSonar does not hire juniors to staff engagements. Every engineer we place is someone we would trust to work on our own systems. If you are a senior security engineer who is tired of writing reports that nobody reads, we should talk.

We work with engineers who have deep expertise in AppSec, DevSecOps, cloud security, compliance engineering, or threat modelling, and who want to do real work that makes a real difference.
