Prepare the team
Define responsibilities, development environments, security expectations and toolchain safeguards.
SECURE SOFTWARE DELIVERY
Build software your customers can trust.
Strengthen how your team develops, builds and releases software, and make it easier to show customers how security work is performed.
What you can expect
- A focused review of development practices
- Prioritized improvements to building and releasing software
- A practical plan for evidence and vulnerability response
What to bring to the first discussion
- What software you build and how you deliver it
- The requirements customers expect you to meet
- An overview of the team’s current development process
The work is scoped to your software and customer requirements. It does not establish a universal certification.
