the problem
Tools existed — the process didn't
starting point
Tooling existed but there was no unified process: no defined control points in the delivery pipeline, no severity-based remediation timelines, no ownership model, and no metrics. Security effort was ad hoc and invisible to leadership.
what i did
One coherent model — anchored, measurable, auditable
- Mapped the existing SDLC and tooling landscape, then designed where controls plug in — pre-commit, pull request, build, deploy and runtime
- Defined a risk-based vulnerability lifecycle: severity and reachability-based priorities, remediation SLAs, exception process with expiry dates, and escalation paths
- Anchored requirements to OWASP ASVS so control expectations are testable rather than aspirational
- Designed metrics and reporting that show trend, ownership and SLA performance — visibility without drowning decision-makers in noise

How the engagement flowed
Three phases, five steps — click any step to see what happened and why it mattered.
outcome
Security as a defined, auditable part of delivery
Value created
Security became a defined, auditable part of delivery rather than a parallel activity. Developers get feedback in the tools they already use; leaders get a small set of meaningful numbers.
