Enterprise Managed Services
Merito runs the platform. Your teams ship the software.
Merito hosts, integrates, maintains, and operates enterprise Application Security Testing, quality engineering, and DevOps platforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS) inside a SOC 2 Type 2 certified environment.
Introduction
Most enterprise teams buy AppSec, quality, and DevOps platforms to ship safer software faster. Then the platforms themselves become a second job. Someone has to stand them up, integrate them into pipelines, patch them, scale them, keep them compliant, and answer the tickets when they break. The ops load compounds with every additional tool.
Merito Managed Services remove that load. Merito hosts the platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), operates it inside a SOC 2 Type 2 certified environment, integrates it into delivery pipelines, and handles the lifecycle work (upgrades, patches, scaling, troubleshooting, compliance reporting) so your AppSec, quality, and DevOps teams stop running platform ops and start using the platform.
Merito Managed Services cover enterprise Application Security Testing (AST), application lifecycle management (ALM), test management, and DevOps tooling. When managed scope requires deeper program-level security maturity work first, Merito routes the engagement through the MAPS Assessment so the operating program lands on a defensible baseline rather than a tool-first rollout.
The challenge
Self-hosting enterprise AppSec, quality, and DevOps tooling sounds cheap on the spreadsheet and lands expensive in operations. A Static Application Security Testing (SAST) platform needs patching. A Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scanner needs policy tuning. A Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) engine needs environment access. Test management and ALM platforms need integration maintenance. None of that is visible in the procurement slide, but all of it shows up on your senior engineers' calendars.
The tax is usually paid in three ways. First, senior engineers lose hours to tool admin that was supposed to be a part-time duty. Second, scans stall, dashboards drift, and integrations break between release windows because nobody owns the platform end to end. Third, compliance posture slips because patch cadence, access review, and audit evidence live in tribal knowledge rather than a documented operating environment.
Managed Services close that gap by moving the operating burden to Merito while keeping the platforms inside a certified environment your security and compliance teams can defend.
Value
Merito provisions, configures, and operates your AppSec and SDLC platforms on Amazon Web Services so internal teams stop running tool-ops on the side.
Managed platforms plug into Jira, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and change-management systems so scans, test runs, and policy gates land inside the pipeline, not alongside it.
Every Merito-hosted platform runs inside a SOC 2 Type 2 certified environment with documented controls, patch cadence, and audit-ready evidence.
Installation, configuration, patching, scaling, incident response, and version upgrades are owned end to end by Merito instead of spread across internal part-time owners.
Merito tunes scanner policies, prunes false positives, and keeps signal quality high so AppSec findings route to developers as usable work, not noise.
Flat managed pricing replaces the hidden cost of senior-engineer tool-admin time and the compliance risk of drifted self-hosted platforms.
Focus
Managed Services lives or dies on operating discipline. The focus areas below are where Merito concentrates the program so platforms stay usable, integrated, and compliant inside real enterprise constraints.

Approach
We combine platform depth, hosting discipline, and AppSec fluency so enterprise teams move from self-hosted tool ops to a managed operating model without losing integrations, policy intent, or compliance posture. The program covers environment stand-up, platform onboarding, CI/CD integration, policy tuning, steady-state operations inside a SOC 2 Type 2 environment, and scheduled program reviews with leadership.
How it works
Each step is designed to move the platform from your operating burden to Merito's, with compliance evidence documented from day one.
Step 1
Merito confirms the platforms in scope, data-sensitivity requirements, compliance regime (SOC 2, PCI, FedRAMP-adjacent), and CI/CD integrations needed. Deliverable: managed-services scope document and target environment design.
Step 2
Merito provisions the AWS hosting environment inside its SOC 2 Type 2 controls framework, hardens it to Merito standards, and stands up identity, network, and access baseline. Deliverable: provisioned AWS environment with documented controls.
Step 3
Merito installs and configures the managed platform (for example, Checkmarx, Snyk, Black Duck, Sonatype, Semgrep, or OpenText Fortify), wires Single Sign-On, and integrates work-management, CI/CD, and reporting systems. Deliverable: configured and integrated platform ready for pilot.
Step 4
Merito tunes scanner policies, applies false-positive baselines, validates the pipeline wiring with a pilot scope, and confirms the signal is usable for developers. Deliverable: tuned policies and a validated pilot rollout.
Step 5
Merito owns patch cadence, version upgrades, capacity scaling, incident response, access review, and compliance evidence for the managed platform. Deliverable: documented runbooks, quarterly access review, and audit-ready evidence.
Step 6
Merito reports on uptime, scan volume, false-positive rate, integration health, and compliance posture in a recurring program review so leadership can tune scope release over release. Deliverable: quarterly program review with recommendations.
Start a Managed Services program
If your team is running enterprise Application Security Testing, quality, or DevOps platforms on the side, Merito can scope the managed engagement, onboard the environment, and move operations into the SOC 2 Type 2 hosted program.
Capabilities
Supported vendor coverage
Merito Managed Services cover the platforms most often tied to self-hosting drag and compliance risk. Coverage is tool-agnostic; if your delivery teams depend on it, Merito can host and operate it inside the SOC 2 Type 2 environment.
Coverage spans Application Security Testing (AST), quality engineering, application lifecycle management (ALM), and DevOps tooling, plus the work-management, CI/CD, and change-management systems those platforms integrate with.
Static analysis, software composition analysis, dynamic testing, infrastructure as code security, posture management, and fuzz testing platforms most commonly hosted and operated under Managed Services.
Test management, test automation, ALM, and planning platforms managed and operated inside the Merito SOC 2 Type 2 environment.
Deque axe DevTools and axe Monitor deployments managed alongside the AppSec and quality stack when accessibility scanning is part of the release program.
Managed scenarios
01
Host and operate Checkmarx, Snyk Code, or Semgrep on Amazon Web Services (AWS), wire scans into the pipeline, tune policies, and triage false positives so developers see usable findings.
02
Host and operate Black Duck, Snyk Open Source, SCANOSS, or Sonatype Nexus Lifecycle for open-source and supply-chain risk, with policy gates in the pipeline.
03
Host and operate OpenText WebInspect or similar dynamic scanners against staging environments, with runbook ownership for environment access and scan scheduling.
04
Host and operate Snyk IaC or Checkmarx IaC Security with policy coverage across Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests.
05
Host and operate Saltworks SaltMiner or Black Duck Software Risk Manager as the unified finding and posture layer across SAST, SCA, and DAST.
06
Host and operate fuzz-testing platforms such as Defensics with environment management and triage for high-signal findings.
07
Host and operate test management and ALM platforms including TestRail, Tricentis qTest, OpenText ALM, and Inflectra Spira, with work-management integration maintained.
08
Host and operate self-managed Jira, Jenkins, or GitHub Enterprise alongside the AppSec stack so platform ownership sits with one operator.
Business impact
The return on Managed Services is time and compliance posture. Hours senior AppSec and quality engineers were losing to tool admin get reinvested into program work, and compliance evidence moves from tribal knowledge into a documented SOC 2 Type 2 operating record that audits can actually reference.
