Overview

This guide shows a complete DevSecOps workflow using ZenVeil: from a developer’s first commit to production deployment, with security validation at every stage.

Stage 1: Local development

Make ZenVeil part of your development loop. Run it before every commit:
Or add it as a git pre-commit hook:
Use git commit --no-verify to bypass the hook when you’re committing a work-in-progress that you know has issues — the CI pipeline will still catch it.

Stage 2: Pull request gate (GitHub Actions)

Every PR is scanned before it can be merged:

Stage 3: Weekly scheduled scan

Catch newly disclosed CVEs in your dependencies:

Stage 4: Post-deploy API scan

After each deployment, verify security headers are set correctly:

Stage 5: Developer feedback loop

After fixing issues, close the loop with feedback:

Security posture over time

With this workflow in place, your security posture compounds: After 4 weeks: fewer findings, faster reviews, more developer confidence. After 3 months: your codebase has a measurable security improvement baseline. After 6 months: security is part of how the team ships — not a separate audit.
