Software development
and DevSecOps

Agile application engineering and secure software delivery for federal programs — from modernizing legacy systems through continuous delivery inside accredited environments.

Customer Challenges

Legacy systems that cannot keep pace with the mission

Federal software portfolios accumulate technical debt faster than they can be modernized. The result is release cycles measured in quarters, security findings that outlive their remediation windows, and manual testing that consumes the budget meant for new capability.

  • Legacy applications that are expensive to change and difficult to accredit.
  • Release cycles too slow to respond to statutory or mission-driven change.
  • Security remediation handled after delivery rather than inside the pipeline.
  • Manual testing and deployment steps that introduce avoidable outage risk.
  • Knowledge concentrated in a small number of long-tenured staff.
Work Performed

What Privateer IT delivers on contract

Agile application engineering

Sprint-based delivery of new and modernized applications, with backlog management, sprint reviews, and demonstrable increments each iteration.

CI/CD pipeline engineering

Build, test, and deployment automation so a change moves from commit to accredited environment through a repeatable, auditable path.

Automated testing

Unit, integration, regression, and accessibility testing built into the pipeline, with coverage reporting available to the government.

Secure software delivery

Static and dependency analysis, secrets management, and security gates that fail the build rather than deferring findings to production.

Application modernization

Assessment and incremental replatforming of legacy systems, sequenced so the mission keeps running throughout.

Lifecycle support

Post-deployment defect resolution, enhancement releases, documentation currency, and eventual system transition or retirement.

Standards & Compliance

How the work is governed

  • Agile and Scrum delivery, with staff holding Scrum certifications.
  • Section 508 and WCAG accessibility testing as a delivery gate.
  • Configuration management and version control for all delivered artifacts.
  • Security controls implemented and evidenced to support authorization.
  • Documented release, rollback, and change-approval procedures.
Delivery Outputs

What the government receives

  • Working software delivered in demonstrable increments.
  • Pipeline definitions, build artifacts, and deployment runbooks.
  • Test plans, automated test suites, and coverage reporting.
  • System, interface, and operations documentation kept current with the code.
  • Sprint reporting, burndown, and release notes for program governance.
