Building Secure Businesses: We’re a Certified Aikido Partner

Choosing the right technology is just as important as writing great code. Our clients trust us not only to deliver software, but also to guide them toward solutions that truly fit their needs and future goals (we described how this looks in a recent article on working with senior developers). That’s why we actively build partnerships with technology providers to confidently recommend the best options available, backed by hands-on expertise.

Becoming a certified Aikido partner is the latest step in this journey. It strengthens our ability to advise and implement secure, reliable, and future-ready solutions, helping our clients safeguard their businesses while continuing to innovate.

Below, we’ll explain why Aikido’s technology is so relevant today and how our certification benefits our clients directly.

Security that accelerates, not slows down

The quality of your source code directly impacts your company's success or failure. Recent years have shown how a single phishing campaign or misconfigured cloud service can expose thousands of customer records, damage reputations, and trigger costly regulatory fines. That’s why protecting sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and automating security processes are now essential for staying resilient and competitive, especially in highly regulated environments like FinTech, healthcare, and insurance.

Trusted by over 25,000 organizations worldwide, Aikido helps businesses meet these challenges with confidence. As an all-in-one platform, it accelerates software development and embeds security measures and continuous code auditing from the earliest stages of the development process.

Aikido supports developers, DevOps, and security specialists by making it easier to assess, monitor, and track security issues across the entire software lifecycle – from code to cloud. With automation and continuous oversight built in, it ensures that everyone involved in application development shares responsibility for security.

For us, partnering with Aikido means giving our clients access to innovative, trusted tools that strengthen security, build resilience, and prepare their business for the future.

What are the benefits of working with a certified Aikido partner?

Through proven technology partnerships, SoftwareMill delivers end-to-end cybersecurity solutions that make your organization more resilient and ready to grow. We tailor Aikido’s technology to your specific needs, helping you protect sensitive data, strengthen resilience, and focus on growth with confidence that your security foundation is in expert hands. And because we always put client needs first, we recommend Aikido only when it’s the most beneficial solution for your business.

Beyond implementation, we help maintain and improve security across infrastructure and processes, reducing costs by fixing issues early and covering all critical aspects of software security. To start, we can run workshops to analyze your IT solutions, uncover key vulnerabilities, and deliver a clear action plan tailored to your budget and timeline.

Ultimately, working with a certified Aikido partner means gaining end-to-end, security-first solutions that protect your business, strengthen resilience, and create a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

“At SoftwareMill, we believe security must be proactive, not reactive. With Aikido, we empower development teams to embed lightweight, automated security checks throughout their development pipeline. This approach lets our clients ship faster, catch vulnerabilities early, and build user trust from day one. In light of supply chain attacks — such as the recent npm compromise of debug, chalk, ansi-regex, supports-color, and dozens of other widely-used packages – Aikido protects your dependencies before they become liabilities. And because Aikido delivers these protections at a more cost-effective price than many legacy tools, you get enterprise-grade security without breaking the budget.”
