About Us

Sigma Defense has a history of providing DevSecOps services that speed development and improve delivery. We do this with enhanced engineering practices—promoting collaboration across development, security, and ops to drive continuous integration and delivery. Sigma Software Studio is based on the framework of Black Pearl, our proven DevSecOps platform.

Who we are

Sigma Software Studio is a new approach to software development that enables fast, secure stand-up of software factories with less cost and complexity than building from the ground up (DIY). Using this proven, secure DevSecOps platform to unify and streamline software development across the enterprise accelerates the deployment of software applications, reduces complexity, and significantly lowers costs over a traditional DIY approach. This allows for mission owners to focus their resources on determining how DevSecOps best serves the mission rather than focusing on infrastructure.

Sigma Software Studio provides the DevSecOps foundational platform, making it easy to build and expand a software factory with a customized set of tools.

What we do

Our proven DevSecOps platform can help your organization…

  • Deliver capabilities faster with shorter lead time.
  • Embed security faster and earlier in development.
  • Reduce development costs.
  • Deliver faster innovation to DoD and federal agencies.
  • Automate development, compliance and deployment tasks—so your team can focus on what they do best.

Tested and Trusted within DoD

Sigma Software Studio is based on Black Pearl—a proven DevSecOps framework Sigma Defense developed for the U.S. military.

Black Pearl is the de facto DevSecOps platform for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It provides a reusable pipeline of components to all developers in the same ecosystem. It also provides turnkey compliance and security for all levels—in one environment that unifies development, deployment, security and operations.

With Sigma Software Studio, we help other customers bring this same DevSecOps approach to their own organizations.
