What We Hear From Teams Like Yours

"We're moving fast — but our security isn't keeping up."

"We enabled vulnerability scanners… now what?"

"We're using AI tools, but there's no real policy behind them."

"Our auditors are asking for things we can't trace."

"Security slows us down, but so does rework."

"Policy, engineering, and leadership aren't on the same page."

We don't just recognize those pain points — we work inside them.

At Piqued Solutions, we help teams turn that friction into flow. We transform your software delivery lifecycle into a secure, scalable engine — integrating security without slowing development.

Secure Delivery

Your engineering team gets guardrails, not roadblocks.

Audit-Ready Visibility

Compliance teams get clarity without chasing tickets.

Strategic Alignment

Executives get risk insights that support business objectives.

Whether you're running GitLab, GitHub, or hybrid pipelines, we align your tools with your security posture — without getting in the way.

Handoff That Sticks

From playbooks to audit-ready artifacts, we leave you with tools your team can own.

GitLab Partnership Advantage

Certified Expertise. Strategic Outcomes.
As an official GitLab Partner, Piqued Solutions helps you go beyond basic adoption — we unlock the full potential of GitLab for security, scalability, and speed.

Visibility Into What You're Missing

Discover the powerful GitLab features already at your fingertips — from security scanning to compliance controls — and learn how to use them effectively.

Security, Integrated by Design

Enable and tune GitLab's built-in security (SAST, DAST, container scanning, IaC) at the right stages of your SDLC—making security part of the pipeline, not a blocker.

GitLab Duo, Made Useful

Integrate GitLab Duo's AI features—code suggestions, vulnerability explanations—responsibly, with prompt hygiene, team training, and auditability.

Training That Sticks

Deliver practical, contextual GitLab training—onboarding engineers, GRC leads, and leadership teams in the workflows they already use.

Seamless Migrations & Smart Infrastructure

Guide migrations from GitHub, Bitbucket, or on-prem—focusing on architecture, environment isolation, access control, and admin workflows.

Strategic Alignment from Code to Compliance

Align GitLab's pipeline patterns and policy-as-code with your organizational goals—audit readiness, velocity, and developer enablement.

Why It Matters

Too many teams underutilize GitLab or configure it without a security lens. As GitLab Partners, we make sure your implementation is resilient, audit-ready, and designed for the way you actually build.

Already using GitLab? We'll help you get more out of it.
New to GitLab? We'll help you migrate, configure, and train with clarity and confidence.

Built by Founders Who've Been in the Fire

We've red-teamed critical infrastructure, operationalized GRC at scale, and trained leaders to stay clear-headed in chaos. We built Piqued to bring that experience to teams who need speed, clarity, and resilience — without bloat.

At Piqued Solutions, security isn't a checkbox — it's the launchpad.

Our Philosophy

We lead with strategy, not fear — and design for trust, not just compliance.

Curiosity drives better decisions

Clarity connects teams, tools, and leadership

Accountability builds systems that last

We work with organizations ready to think deeply, act intentionally, and lead securely.

Security that scales with you. We'll meet you where you are — and help you move with clarity.

Why Get Piqued

We've done the breaking – now we build for resilience.

From red teaming and adversary simulation to real-world ops, we know how attackers think. Now we use that insight to help you build defenses that hold under pressure.

We write policies people actually use.

No 60-page PDFs collecting dust. Just frameworks that map to your workflows, support your goals, and get real adoption.

We scale security through culture and context.

Whether it's AI alignment, leadership clarity, or cross-team strategy — we help you define what security means in your world.

We make resilience repeatable.

Risk isn't static — your systems shouldn't be either. We design rhythms and tooling that make secure behavior part of how you operate, every day.

Ready when you are.
