AppSec strategy & leadership

Give application security a direction. And an owner.

Security work lands with the CTO, different teams make different decisions, and nobody has time to connect the pieces. Start with the product risks and a plan that fits your engineering capacity.

What we do together

Map the critical applications, review current practices, agree priorities and establish a recurring review with named owners.

The evidence

What you can inspect

An owned backlog, a scoped roadmap, recorded decisions and evidence of completed work.
