Accelerators, Code Security

Datadog code security-
security insight inside engineering workflows in four weeks.

Security findings that live in a separate tool don't get fixed, they get deprioritised in the next sprint cycle. This accelerator puts Datadog's application and code security capabilities directly into the workflows where engineers work, producing a findings baseline that the engineering team can act on from week one.

ASM, SCA, and CI Visibility configured and active. Findings baseline established. Ownership and triage model built. Remediation backlog prioritised by risk and effort on delivery.

Scope, what happens in four weeks

From security blind spots to engineer-visible findings

The four weeks activate code and application security capabilities and build the structures that make findings actionable, not just visible.

  • ASM (Application Security Management), runtime attack detection enabled, threat rules configured, traffic patterns baselined for your applications
  • SCA (Software Composition Analysis), library vulnerability scanning configured across the codebase, integrations with package managers established
  • CI Visibility integration, security findings surfaced inside CI/CD pipelines so developers see issues before merging, not after deployment
  • Findings baseline, initial scan completed, findings categorised by severity, service ownership mapped to current team structure
  • Triage and ownership model, routing rules established so findings go to the right team, triage process documented and agreed
  • Security dashboard pack, views for the security team (threat posture, attack patterns) and for engineering (vulnerability backlog, pipeline findings)
Outputs, what you receive on delivery

Four deliverables at the end of week four

Findings baseline, complete picture of code and runtime security findings at go-live, categorised by severity and service, with initial triage applied
Ownership and triage model, which team owns which findings, how new findings are routed, what the triage SLA is for each severity tier
Security dashboard pack, operational views for both security and engineering audiences, built around the findings that emerged from the baseline scan
Remediation backlog, findings ordered by risk and effort, ready for sprint planning; plus a next-step recommendation from Critical Cloud
