  • Implement centralized tooling to: Aggregate SAST, SCA, DAST, and pen test findings Provide a single pane of glass for application risk Drive prioritization and remediation of vulnerabilities based on business risk and technical severity.
  • Establish KPIs such as: Mean time to remediate (MTTR) % of critical vulnerabilities fixed before release Coverage of testing across applications

Developer Enablement & Training

  • Build and lead a role-based application security training program for developers, architects, and QA
  • Provide: Secure coding guidance (language-specific) Secure development playbooks and reference architectures
  • Partner with SCOE to embed security practices into daily developer workflows and pipelines.

Integration with Software Center of Excellence (SCOE)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
