Security · Privacy · Resilience · from the first sprint

Build it right
the first time.

Trusted Path gives engineering teams in regulated sectors a way to design security, privacy and resilience into a project at planning and design. The work is done once, by the team that ships it, and nothing comes back for rework.

The problem

Regulation is accelerating. Engineering is under pressure. Late reviews are where the money goes.

01

Rules are multiplying

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

02

Checks arrive late

Security, privacy and resilience get looked at after the code is written. By then a design flaw is a rewrite, and the review that finds it speaks a language the sprint does not.

03

Tools multiply too

A scanner for code, a tool for threat models, a portal for the auditor, a spreadsheet for privacy and another for resilience. Five dashboards, and the people building the software open none of them by choice.

The platform

Three disciplines. One engineering practice.

Trusted Path brings security, privacy and resilience into the places engineers already plan and design their work. The three things regulators care about are handled once, early, by the team that ships. From there the platform carries the work through Build and Deploy: it integrates with the tools you already run, fills the gaps they leave, and puts the result on one dashboard instead of five.

Security, privacy and resilience start as three streams, join at Plan and Design, and run braided through Build and Deploy into the Trusted Path logo.
Discipline 01

Security

Threat modelling and secure design review at the planning stage, inside the tools and tickets engineers already use.

  • Threat modelling from reusable patterns, before a line of code
  • Control mapping to OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF
  • Findings written for engineers and fixed in the sprint
Discipline 02

Privacy

Data protection by design, raised at the point a feature is planned rather than after it has launched.

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

Resilience

Operational resilience designed in: failure modes named at design time, 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
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.

The five-level TRUST framework: an ascending path from Level 1 Tribal, through Repeatable, Uniform and Steered, to Level 5 Tuned, crossing the regulatory target line.
Built for

Engineering leaders who have to answer to both sides.

Trusted Path is built for engineering teams of 10 or more inside organisations of 50 to 1,000 people 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 maturity across teams, and a cost story for the board: what gets built right the first time, and what no longer comes back.

Role 02VP

VP of Engineering

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

Role 03Head

Head of Engineering

Team‑level assessments that show the gap rather than the blame, and one view where there used to be five tools.

Role 04Dev

Developers

Findings in your own language, at the point you plan and design the work, without a specialist to wait for or a second workflow to feed.

Why we exist

Mission and Vision.

Mission

To help software development teams produce secure, private and resilient software.

Vision

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

Software maturity is the combined strength of three pillars: security, privacy and operational resilience. Our platform makes that maturity measurable and visible to every team, from the first sprint of a project rather than the last.

What we build on

Empathy, transparency, trust.

Engineering assurance has a reputation for being adversarial. Ours is built the other way round. 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. Every number traces back to a decision a person can challenge and a piece of evidence a person can inspect.

V.03

Trust

Trust is earned inside sprints rather than 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

One platform where the tools used to be.

Teams in regulated sectors already own a scanner, a threat modelling tool, a GRC portal and a spreadsheet or two. Each of them looks at a finished piece of work. Trusted Path looks at the work before it is built, which is why it can replace them inside engineering rather than sit beside them.

First pilot customers

Run a 30‑day pilot on one project.

We are taking a small number of engineering teams through a fixed‑scope pilot: one delivery project, 30 days, the founder involved throughout. You see where that project stands across all three pillars and what it would take to move it.
