Frequently Asked Questions
Threat modeling includes: analysis of your application architecture, identification of critical assets, threat modeling using methodologies like STRIDE or PASTA, risk assessment, and control recommendations. Typically these are 1-2 day workshops with your architecture and development team.
A complete Security Champions program is a 3-6 month commitment. It includes candidate identification, intensive initial training, continuous mentoring, and establishment of a community of practice. After the initial setup, the program continues with monthly meetings and ongoing support.
We offer both. We have generic training on OWASP Top 10 principles and universal best practices, as well as specific training for languages like Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Go, etc. We adapt the content according to your team's technology stack.
We integrate security natively into agile sprints through: security user stories, definition of done with security criteria, automated security testing in CI/CD, security champions embedded in squads, and security retrospectives. The goal is continuous security without slowing down development.
We evaluate the current maturity of your application security program using frameworks like OWASP SAMM or BSIMM. We analyze practices in governance, design, implementation, verification and operations. The result is a prioritized roadmap to evolve your program.
Absolutely. We help organizations build complete AppSec programs from scratch, including: policy definition, tool selection, SDLC integration, team training, metric establishment, and creation of a continuous improvement roadmap.
Audits (SAST/DAST) are one-time technical evaluations of specific applications. Consulting is continuous strategic advisory on how to build and improve your application security program at the organizational level. They are complementary: audits for technical vulnerabilities, consulting for program maturity.
Yes, we offer different levels of ongoing support: from monthly Q&A sessions, to retainers for ongoing advisory, ad-hoc architecture review, and roadmap implementation guidance. We adapt the model to your needs.
