Secure by Design: Delivering Scalable TEE Solutions through Agile and DevOps
SWORD Services Greece
Sword has successfully implemented a pivotal specialized system in the context of the EU Security Agenda. The system matches security events with high-risk criminal/terrorist acts ensuring exclusive Member State (MS) data ownership, preventing any unauthorized access. In an innovative way security-at-rest is fortified by a Hardware Security Module (HSM) providing a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) for secure key/cryptographic operations.
By embracing Agile principles like adaptive planning and continuous stakeholder engagement, Sword ensured the seamless integration of TEE-based solutions.
By integrating DevOps principles—including automation, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD— Sword successfully shifted security left.

A one-stop-shop to explore the landscape of Technology for Development (T4D) and Innovations across UNICEF
SWORD Services Greece
Sword transformed the Unicef Invent service from a vulnerable, monolithic platform into a robust, secure, and scalable system by implementing a DevSecOps culture.
The core of this transformation was an automated ‘fail-fast’ pipeline integrating advanced tools like Trivy, OWASP Dependency Check and SonarQube to proactively scan code, containers, and enforce custom security policies. Migrated to Azure Kubernetes Service, the new architecture reduced deployment cycles from days to minutes, eliminated critical vulnerability risks, and delivered a highly available, auto-scaling platform.
This provides Unicef with a secure, repeatable framework, empowering future digital innovation.
