Partnership addresses identity-driven risk across modern software supply chains through deep Atlassian ecosystem integration
Jan. 29, 2026 — BlueFlag Security, a leader in software development lifecycle (SDLC) security and governance, today announced a strategic alliance with catworkx AG, part of the TIMETOACT GROUP and a leading partner for enterprise integration on the Atlassian platform across EMEA.
The partnership combines BlueFlag Security’s identity-first SDLC security platform with catworkx’s deep Atlassian expertise, enabling enterprises to embed security seamlessly into their development workflows, without slowing delivery.
Modern DevOps teams operate across distributed tools, automated pipelines, and complex integration chains that make enforcing consistent security and governance increasingly difficult. Without native controls embedded in daily workflows, organizations struggle to maintain visibility across development, delivery, and operations. This alliance addresses those challenges by delivering a secure-by-design DevSecOps model tightly integrated into the Atlassian ecosystem.
catworkx holds all major Atlassian specializations, including Agile at Scale, Cloud Migration, and IT Service Management (ITSM), and is a member of the Atlassian Partner Advisory Council. The catworkx comprehensive Atlassian service portfolio includes:
- Process consulting and implementation
- Agile and enterprise transformation
- Marketplace and custom app development
- Platform operations and managed services
- Official Atlassian training
- Comprehensive licensing services
Through this alliance, BlueFlag Security is now a native extension of catworkx’s DevOps and ITSM offerings, with deep integrations into Atlassian Bitbucket, Jira, and Compass. Together, shared customers can operationalize DevSecOps directly within their existing toolchains.
“Our customers are increasingly asking how they can scale Atlassian across the enterprise while maintaining strong security and governance,” said Michael Bernhard, CEO of catworkx.
“BlueFlag Security is a fantastic complement to our portfolio. Together, we enable organizations to build secure software by design, directly within the Atlassian platform, without adding friction for development teams.”
“Identity is now the primary attack surface in the software supply chain,” said Raj Mallempati, CEO and Founder of BlueFlag Security. “This partnership with catworkx brings identity-first SDLC security directly into the heart of enterprise DevOps. Our mission is to help organizations reduce risk, enforce governance, and accelerate delivery, all within the Atlassian environments developers already know and trust.”
