Shipping Fast and Staying Secure Aren't Mutually Exclusive — Whether You're Starting Out or Scaling Up.
KubeNiche implements ArgoCD-first GitOps and layers in full DevSecOps automation — OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Falco, Trivy, Cosign, and SBOM generation — for SMBs building their first K8s deployment pipeline and for teams with existing pipelines that need security and compliance baked in. Every release ships fast, compliant, and auditable.
Harden My Deployment PipelineSecurity Bolted On After Deployment Is a Liability — At Any Stage of Your K8s Journey
SMBs starting their Kubernetes journey face a fork in the road: build deployment pipelines fast and add security later (technical debt that compounds), or build security in from the start (the right choice, but hard without expertise). Teams already running K8s face the consequences of the first path — policy violations in production, unsigned images, incomplete audit trails, and compliance gaps that surface at the worst possible time. DevSecOps shifts security left: automated policy enforcement at admission time, signed and scanned container images, SBOM generation for software supply chain compliance, and runtime threat detection — all running in your K8s cluster, managed by KubeNiche. Whether you're writing your first Helm chart or migrating a legacy CI/CD estate, we implement DevSecOps correctly from the start.

What's Included
Core Capabilities
Greenfield GitOps Implementation — Start Declarative from Day One
For SMBs deploying Kubernetes for the first time, we implement ArgoCD-first GitOps before the first workload runs — ApplicationSets, multi-environment promotion pipelines, Helm chart library design, and RBAC hardening. Every infrastructure change is a Git commit from day one. You never accumulate the imperative kubectl apply debt that takes years to clean up.
Legacy CI/CD to GitOps Migration
We have hands-on production experience migrating Kubernetes applications from Jenkins, shell-script deployments, and ad-hoc pipelines to ArgoCD — ApplicationSets, multi-cluster deployments, SSO integration, and progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts. If your team is evaluating or mid-migration, we've done it at scale and can accelerate your path to a fully declarative GitOps workflow without disrupting production delivery.
Policy-as-Code — Compliance Built Into Every Admission
We implement OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno policy suites tailored to your compliance requirements — CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, or custom org policies. For greenfield deployments, policies are in place before the first workload is admitted. For existing clusters, we audit current policy coverage and close gaps without disrupting running workloads. All policies are version-controlled, tested in CI, and enforced at admission time.
Container Supply Chain Security — SLSA & SBOM
Trivy integrated into your CI pipeline for image vulnerability scanning and SBOM generation (CycloneDX / SPDX). Cosign-based keyless image signing via Sigstore, enforced at admission via Kyverno or Gatekeeper — only signed, scanned images run in your clusters. Full software supply chain visibility from build to runtime, aligned with SLSA (Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts) framework requirements.
Runtime Threat Detection with Falco & eBPF
Deploy Falco with eBPF-based syscall monitoring for real-time runtime security — anomaly detection, K8s audit log analysis, and alerting to your SIEM or PagerDuty. We write and maintain custom Falco rules tuned to your workload patterns, reducing false positives without missing real threats. For SMBs starting out, this means enterprise-grade runtime security from the first production deployment.
Secrets Management & Zero-Trust Secret Hygiene
Design and implement a secrets strategy that fits your stack and compliance posture — External Secrets Operator syncing from AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or GCP Secret Manager; or SOPS-encrypted secrets committed directly to Git for fully offline environments. For greenfield deployments, we establish zero-trust secret hygiene before the first secret is created. No plaintext secrets in manifests, CI logs, or container images — ever.
