An automated baseline deployment system is provided. The system comprises an at least one computer system and an automated baseline deployment application that, when executed on the computer system, extracts software source code from a source code repository in response to an application build request. The system also inserts the source code using an automated process into a secure build process to produce baseline code, places the baseline code into an application product depot, and extracts a copy of the baseline code from the application product depot in response to a deployment request. The system also creates metadata to associate a destination deployment environment with the copy of the baseline code deployed into the deployment environment and installs the copy of the baseline code into the deployment environment, wherein the application prevents the insertion of source software code from sources outside the source code repository into the secure build process.
