What People Say
Trusted by security teams worldwide
From practitioners and security teams who have trained with us and engaged our consulting team.
After two months of studying and a grueling 12-hour exam last Saturday, I'm happy to share I can now call myself a Certified DevSecOps Professional!
Would recommend the course to anyone that wants to really get hands-on and technical with tooling such as SCA, SAST, DAST, IaC and CaC.
I received good news over the Thanksgiving week: I passed my Certified Container Security Expert exam! This exam is provided by the Practical DevSecOps training group, which I highly recommend for hands-on skills in the DevSecOps field. The practical labs and 6-hour exam covers a number of security strategies and tools, including: Harbor, Cosign, Trivy, Grype, Snyk, Dockle, Seccomp and many more! The training is FIRST CLASS!
I am happy to share that I have lately gained the Practical DevSecOps Professional Certification (CDP).
Thanks to the Practical DevSecOps team, for both excellent material and a lot of great practical labs.
The certification finished off with a challenging 12 hours practical exam and extensive report writing.
I'm excited to share that I have successfully obtained the CCNSE certification!
This accomplishment has provided me with advanced abilities to effectively secure microservices, containers and Kubernetes environments.
I now possess comprehensive expertise in handling attacks, implementing defenses, and ensuring compliance within these complex systems.
I would like to give big thanks to the very responsive team at Practical DevSecOps.

Warmly recommend this excellent course for technical architects, or engineers who want to gain hands-on skills on how to embed security across modern SDLC.
The labs covered running below mentioned security tools using Docker and building E2E DevOps pipeline with integrated security automation using GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, and GitHub Actions.

Thanks Practical DevSecOps
This was a great course with practical training for how to embed automated security scanning into a CI/CD pipeline, plus hardening and compliance checks using an everything-as-code approach. Finishing off with a challenging 12 hour practical exam and extensive report writing requirement and assessment to gain the Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP) certificate. Thanks to Mohammed A. Imran and Raj Shekar of Practical DevSecOps.
After very challenging 12-hours hands-on exam and preparing extensive exam report I am now Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP)!
The quality of the course material was surprisingly good and the lab environment is better than any other that I've come across. And in the AppSec field, I have seen quite a few of them. If you want to learn about application security, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, IaC, CaC, SAST, DAST, SCA and these other crazy but very cool acronyms and buzzwords, you would be very wise to join this course.
Whoa! After completing 139 lab exercises and an intensive 12 hour exam in 1,5 months, I am finally a Certified DevSecOps Professional too. 🎉

I recently took the Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP) certification from Practical DevSecOps. I would recommend the course for anybody that is interested in DevSecOps. The course material was well-written and presented. The labs were very helpful for real-world applications, and the test was a fun challenge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
Everything you need to know before booking a call.
What makes Practical DevSecOps consulting different from a standard security audit?
A standard audit produces a report. We produce a working security program. The same practitioners who built the Practical DevSecOps training curriculum and certifications work directly inside your organization. We fix what is broken, build the controls to prevent it from happening again, and transfer full ownership to your team before we leave. The deliverable is not a PDF with a findings list. It is a security program your team can run, maintain, and evolve independently without any dependency on us.
Do you work with our existing security tools or replace them?
We work with what you have wherever it makes sense. We are completely vendor-neutral with no reseller relationships and no preferred vendor incentives across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, or open-source tooling. If a tool in your stack is the right fit, we build on it. If something is not serving you, we will tell you directly and help you evaluate alternatives based purely on what works for your environment and your team.
What happens after the consulting engagement ends?
Knowledge transfer is a formal, structured phase in every engagement, not something we squeeze into the last week. Your team receives full documentation, operational runbooks, and hands-on training covering everything we built together. The goal is zero dependency on us after handoff. Your team should be able to maintain, extend, and audit the security program entirely on their own. For organizations that want a long-term partner, we offer ongoing support retainers covering threat intelligence updates, program tuning, and periodic reviews as your environment evolves.
Can you work with a team that has no prior security background?
Yes. Building security capability from the ground up inside development and operations teams is a core part of what we do. We have taken teams with no prior security experience and left them running mature, auditable security programs. The engagement takes longer because capability building is a real workstream alongside implementation, but the outcome is a team that genuinely owns security rather than one that checks a box and calls a vendor whenever something goes wrong.
How is security consulting priced?
Every engagement is scoped and priced based on your specific environment, team size, compliance requirements, existing tooling, and timeline. We do not offer fixed packages because no two organizations have the same risk surface or the same starting point. Book a free 30-minute consultation and we will give you an honest picture of what an engagement would involve, how long it would take, and what it would cost. No commitment required, and no sales process attached to that first call.
Who are the consultants at Practical DevSecOps?
Our consultants are the same practitioners who built the Practical DevSecOps training curriculum and certifications. They bring hands-on experience from organizations that operate at enterprise scale under real security pressure. Every consultant on our team has implemented the same programs they teach, in production, at organizations that cannot afford to get security wrong. You are not getting junior staff managed by a senior who shows up for the kickoff call. You are getting the people who built and continue to build the program.
What is the difference between DevSecOps training and DevSecOps consulting?
Training builds individual capability. Consulting builds organizational capability. Our certifications, including the Certified DevSecOps Professional and Certified AI Security Professional, teach individuals how to implement DevSecOps practices in their own environments. Our consulting engagements take those same practices and implement them directly inside your organization’s infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and team workflows. The outcome is not a certified individual. It is a functioning security program running inside your organization. Many clients invest in both because the combination accelerates adoption significantly.
Do you offer AI security consulting?
Yes. AI and ML security is a dedicated service area. As organizations deploy large language models, machine learning pipelines, and AI-powered applications into production, the attack surface expands into territory most security teams have not dealt with before. We assess AI model security, build defenses against data poisoning and prompt injection attacks, verify model integrity, secure LLM integrations, and help teams implement governance frameworks for responsible AI deployment. Most security programs were not designed with AI workloads in mind. We help you close that gap before it becomes a breach.
How do I get started with Practical DevSecOps consulting?
Book a free 30-minute consultation. There is no obligation and no sales pitch attached to it. We use that call to understand your environment, your team’s current capability, your compliance requirements, and what you are actually trying to solve. If we are the right fit, we will tell you exactly what an engagement would look like. If we are not the right fit for what you need right now, we will tell you that too. Either way, you leave the call with more clarity than you came in with.
