Secure Your Applications
APPLICATION SECURITY PROGRAM ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW

Accelerate Your Application Security
Program Maturity

A holistic software security strategy begins with an understanding of the current state, a vision of the future state and a roadmap of initiatives to get there. This strategy is supported by policies, procedures, standards, tools, governance and training. Our team works with customers to understand their current state—including strengths and areas of improvement—and help lay a tailored, holistic AppSec strategy meant to:

Identify and Manage Application Risk

Balance Business Objectives and Innovation

Measure Compliance and Governance

As part of the AppSec program assessment, we can accelerate the adoption of your program and kick off roadmap initiatives by leveraging our professional services and Application Security as a Service offering, which helps ensure you keep the momentum generated during the program assessment.

APPLICATION SECURITY PROGRAM ASSESSMENT APPROACH

Take a Universal Approach to Application Security

We leverage concepts from the OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM), the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) CALMR model and our own experience in performing application security program assessments across all industries to align your program to leading practices. You can be confident that we will review all components of your program and provide you with expert guidance. The five domains covered by OWASP SAMM and this analysis are:
  • Governance
  • Design
  • Implementation
  • Verification
  • Operations
We leverage our experience in assessing application security programs of all sizes and maturity to identify the capabilities in place to improve the security posture of your applications throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). For organizations currently practicing Agile and DevSecOps, we focus on program scalability to prevent security activities from becoming a bottleneck to releases.
