8. Culture building and Process maturing
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
