Does your organization implement secure software development practices to minimize vulnerabilities in released products?

Explanation

This question assesses whether your organization follows secure coding standards, performs security testing, and implements vulnerability management throughout the software development lifecycle. Effective secure development practices include threat modeling, code reviews, static/dynamic application security testing, and pre-release security validation. Evidence could include documentation of your secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) process, results from automated security scanning tools, vulnerability management reports showing remediation of identified issues before release, or metrics demonstrating a reduction in security defects over time.

Implementation Example

Secure all software produced by the organization, with minimal vulnerabilities in their releases

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
