Scale CI/CD Security and Remediate Pipeline Risks Faster with Step Security and Seemplicity

CI/CD risks don’t get fixed on visibility alone. Step Security surfaces pipeline exposures, while Seemplicity turns them into clear, assigned remediation tasks, grouped by fix and owner, routed into existing workflows, and tracked through resolution, so teams can reduce exposure faster and prove progress.

Supply chain security has moved into a new era defined by transparent CI/CD infrastructure. Organizations are no longer blind to the inner workings of their GitHub Actions or the risks associated with third-party dependencies. However, this newfound visibility often leads to a standstill where security teams identify critical exposures but lack the organizational structure to resolve them. Step Security is providing critical insight into these complex pipelines, but for many, it remains a challenge to transform that data into coordinated remediation efforts across engineering teams. Seemplicity serves as the agentic Exposure Action Platform that moves your program beyond mere discovery by turning supply chain findings into accountable tasks.

Turning Supply Chain Data into Actionable Work

Step Security identifies critical pipeline risks, such as overly permissive tokens, unpinned actions, or insecure triggers. On their own, these are just data points. Seemplicity transforms this dense technical output into clear, accountable tasks.

• Hardening Configurations: Findings like excessive GITHUB_TOKEN permissions are ingested and enriched with business risk context.
• Managing Third-Party Risks: Risks from unmaintained or unpinned actions are routed to the correct teams in the tools they already use, such as Jira or ServiceNow.
• Modernizing Credential Hygiene: The platform tracks the transition from static cloud credentials to more secure OIDC authentication to ensure these structural improvements are actually completed.

Intelligent Aggregation: Workflows Built for Reality

Seemplicity doesn’t just dump thousands of individual alerts on your engineering teams. Instead, it organizes work based on how a professional organization actually functions.

The platform aggregates findings by fixes and by fixers. If a specific CI/CD hardening task applies to multiple repositories, Seemplicity can group these into a single fix for the designated team. However, our logic respects your organizational boundaries. We only group items if they belong to the same team and location, which avoids the friction of misrouted work or unclear accountability. This approach allows teams to reduce exposure faster and with less effort.

Closing the Loop with Agentic Automation

The Seemplicity platform applies an agentic approach to automation to get the right tasks to the right people.

• Find the Fixer AI: Our AI agents identify the correct owners for issues and misconfigurations, which eliminates the frustration of manual coordination.
• Remediation Steps AI: Seemplicity provides asset-specific, software-specific instructions for how to fix each issue, which equips engineers to resolve findings without leaving their native environments.
• SLA and Compliance Visibility: Live dashboards track progress by team, asset, or risk level to provide leadership with clear evidence of risk reduction.
• Continuous Verification: Once a fix is applied, the platform monitors for resolution to ensure the exposure is truly closed.

Level Up Your AppSec Program

Detection is easy, but resolution is what matters. Only Seemplicity turns the overwhelming into clear, accountable tasks so you can reduce your exposure faster and with greater confidence.

By combining Step Security’s deep discovery with Seemplicity’s Exposure Action Platform, you achieve a measurable reduction in risk without adding unnecessary complexity to your engineering workflows.
