How this maps to your situation

  • When launching a new application with OWASP compliance requirements
  • During integration of security controls into existing CI/CD pipelines
  • When responding to critical vulnerabilities requiring cross-team coordination

Before vs. after

Before
Security decisions are fragmented across teams, with no clear ownership of OWASP implementation.
After
