How a corporate mobility provider cut deployment effort by 80% with automated DevSecOps
A leading corporate mobility and relocation service provider managing domestic and international employee relocations across multiple regions relied on a business-critical web application to support its operations. As the application became increasingly important to daily workflows, manual, time-consuming releases and largely reactive security reviews struggled to keep pace with business needs. Flentas implemented a comprehensive DevSecOps framework, automating the software delivery lifecycle from code commit through deployment and security validation.

The Challenge
Manual releases and reactive security couldn't scale with the business
As the application became increasingly critical to daily operations, gaps in the existing delivery process created real operational and security risks.
Inconsistent builds
Configuration mismatches between source code and the build environment meant teams couldn't reliably generate production-ready releases.
Manual, risky deployments
Updates required developers to manually access servers and deploy files, with no automated validation, backup, or rollback mechanisms.
Reactive security and weak governance
Security assessments happened manually at periodic intervals, allowing vulnerabilities to go undetected, while credentials and environment configurations were managed manually, increasing the risk of misconfiguration and cross-environment exposure.
The Approach
A fully automated DevSecOps pipeline from commit to production
Flentas designed a comprehensive framework to automate the software delivery lifecycle, starting by stabilizing the foundation before layering in automation.
- 01
Resolved underlying build issues to ensure the application could compile consistently every time, without manual intervention.
- 02
Automated the entire build and deployment process using GitHub Actions. Every commit is built, verified, and deployed automatically, with an automatic backup created before live server files are changed and post-deployment health checks confirming the application is running successfully.
- 03
Implemented continuous security scanning of the codebase using CodeQL (SAST), blocking changes from reaching production without passing automated security checks.
- 04
Added live application security scanning using OWASP ZAP (DAST) to identify real-world exposures, while fully isolating staging and production environments and securely managing credentials through GitHub Environments and Secrets.
Business Outcome
Faster releases, continuous security, built-in recovery
80% reduction in deployment effort
Through end-to-end automation of the build and release process.
70% faster release cycles
With 75% faster deployments and 85% fewer deployment-related errors.
Continuous security across the delivery lifecycle
With automated scanning introduced across both source code and live applications.
Faster detection and remediation of vulnerabilities
Catching security issues during development rather than after deployment.
Built-in business continuity
With every deployment including automated backup creation and recovery capabilities to minimize disruption.
