DevSecOps Maturity Assessment

Begin Your Assessment

Want to know how mature
your DevSecOps is?

Take the assessment.

Through this assessment, you will learn how to assess your DevSecOps practices, identify focus areas for improvement, and recognize the importance of evolving your DevSecOps maturity.

Optimize Your DevSecOps

DevSecOps is a software development approach that focuses on integrating security into every aspect of the software development process. Through our DevSecOps Maturity Assessment, you can identify areas for improvement and ensure you are following best practices.

There are three levels of DevSecOps maturity: early adopter, intermediate, and advanced.

How Mature is Your DevSecOps?

Our comprehensive DevSecOps Maturity Assessment covers 8 key phases of DevSecOps practices, 29 questions in total.

By evaluating your team on each capability, you can determine if your DevSecOps maturity level is early, intermediate, or advanced. Your assessment includes a custom report that provides your overall maturity as well as detailed recommendations you can take to enhance your security posture.

Early Adopter

At the early adopter level, companies are just starting to adopt DevSecOps practices. They may have a few security tools in place, but they are not fully integrated into their development process. There may be some awareness of security risks, but it is not a top priority. At this level, companies should focus on building a strong foundation for DevSecOps by establishing a culture of security and implementing basic security practices.

 

Intermediate Adopter

At the intermediate level, companies have made significant progress in adopting DevSecOps practices. They have integrated security into their development process, and security is a top priority for the entire organization. They have implemented a range of security tools and have a clear understanding of the security risks they face. At this level, companies should focus on optimizing their DevSecOps practices and continuously improving their security posture.

 

Advanced Adopter

At the advanced level, companies have fully embraced DevSecOps and have a mature and sophisticated security program in place. They have automated their security testing and have integrated security into every aspect of their development process. They have a strong security culture and have established a clear and effective governance structure for security. At this level, companies should focus on staying up-to-date with the latest security threats and technologies and continuously improving their security program.

Adding Security to Agile/DevOps Phases

With the shift towards faster software development, it is essential to integrate security practices into every phase of the development process. By implementing security measures early on in the development process, teams can avoid costly security vulnerabilities that may be discovered later in the development cycle or even post-release.

We have identified the following 8 Agile/DevOps phases to ensure that the software development is secure, resilient, and less susceptible to attacks

1. Process

• Identify various security-related tasks, such as threat modeling, risk assessment, security testing, vulnerability scanning, code analysis, and security monitoring.

2. Inception

• Perform Business Impact Assessment (BIA), and high-level architecture threat modelling.
• Select security automation tools, agree on security gates.
• Determine security requirements (use OWSAP’s ASVS) in scope and add to project backlog.
• Agree on how each security requirement will be tested.
• Provide secure development training (OWASP Top 10 and threat modelling)

3. Planning

• Review groomed backlog items and identify user-stories with security impact.
• Select security work items from backlog.

4. Dev / Design

• Perform security design review, threat modeling/risk assessment, and solution design related to user-stories identified as having some security impact.

5. Development: code / build

• User IDE security plug-ins.
• Run automated SAST and SCA/SCA on pull requests (block)
• Fix identified issues where possible otherwise add to issue tracking/risk register and proceed.

6. Dev / Integration (recurring)

• Run automated SAST, VDC, DAST, and Container scanning (parallel).
• Fix identified issues where possible otherwise add to issue tracking/risk register and proceed.

7. Release / Deployment (every X iteration)

• Perform threat modeling to identify possible gaps.
• Conduct manual testing of security requirements not covered by automation as needed.
• Run automated SSL, Network, and other scanning.
• Fix identified issues where possible otherwise add to issue tracking/risk register and proceed.

8. Operation/Monitoring (on-going)

• Run IAST, RASP, WAF, and infrastructure scanning and send data to SIEM.
• Maintain up-to-date threat model and detection use-cases.
• Determine areas of application security improvement and add to backlog.
• Provide training to target areas of weakness.
