Culture building and Process maturing is described by the SAMM Organization and Culture activity, which in turn is part of the SAMM Education & Guidance security practice within the Governance business function.

The maturity of security processes and culture is wide ranging, with indicators of a mature process and culture including:

  • Security champions have been identified for each development team
  • A program is in place to support the security champions
  • Secure coding practices are in place to define standards and improve software development
  • Developers and application security professionals across the organization are able to communicate and share best practice

The OWASP Developer Guide is a community effort; if there is something that needs changing then submit an issue.
