Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.

Why this course

Every sprint ends with a rushed security review, missing code comments, and an ever-growing backlog of open findings. Your CI pipeline spits out alerts, but the tickets sit idle because the team lacks a unified way to capture evidence and assign remediation owners. When the next compliance audit arrives, the missing documentation forces you to scramble, delaying releases and risking penalties.

Your security tooling generates reports, yet the artefacts never leave the scanner’s console. Stakeholders ask for proof of remediation, but you can only provide screenshots that lack traceability. The cost of re-working the same vulnerabilities repeats each quarter, draining developer time and eroding trust from product leadership.

What you walk away with

Produce a complete secure-coding evidence pack for any audit.
Implement a reusable threat-modeling checklist that integrates into your CI pipeline.
Create a prioritized remediation backlog that aligns with product roadmaps.
Generate stakeholder-ready dashboards showing risk reduction over time.
Establish a repeatable process for documenting code-level security decisions.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Threat Modeling Foundations

71% of recent data breaches stem from inadequate threat modeling. A sprint kickoff meeting often skips this step, leaving the team blind to attack surfaces. The module walks through building a threat model for a new feature, delivering a filled-out model diagram. Output: a threat model diagram ready for stakeholder review.

Module 2. Secure Coding Checklist Integration

During the daily stand-up you hear developers say "I don't have time for security checks". This module shows how to embed a concise secure-coding checklist into pull-request templates, turning every code review into a security gate. What you ship from this module: a customized checklist template.

Module 3. Static Analysis Automation

A question echoes in many retrospectives: "Why are we still getting the same static analysis warnings?" The answer lies in automating rule selection and false-positive triage. By the end you will have an automated static analysis runbook that produces a clean report. Output: an automated analysis runbook.

Module 4. Vulnerability Remediation Tracker

By module end a remediation tracker sits in your drive, linking each finding to a ticket, an owner, and a target release. This resolves the chaos of scattered JIRA tickets and missing deadlines. The deliverable is a populated remediation tracker.

Module 5. Secure Code Review Protocol

A stakeholder from product management asks, "Can you prove that security reviews don’t block feature delivery?" This module defines a protocol that captures reviewer comments, decision rationales, and sign-offs within the code review tool. What you ship: a secure review protocol document.

Module 6. Evidence Pack Assembly

The fastest path from a messy set of scan screenshots to a polished audit package is a standardized folder structure with indexed artefacts. This module guides you through assembling the evidence pack, complete with versioned documents. Output: a ready-to-submit evidence pack.

Module 7. Risk Dashboard Creation

The CFO wants to see risk trends month over month, not a static list of findings. This module builds a live dashboard that pulls data from your remediation tracker and static analysis results. The deliverable is a risk dashboard ready for executive briefings.

Module 8. Compliance Mapping Matrix

A tension exists between rapid delivery and meeting OWASP Top 10 requirements. This module creates a matrix that maps each code change to the relevant OWASP control, making compliance visible in sprint reports. Output: a compliance mapping matrix.

Module 9. Security Incident Post-Mortem Template

When an incident occurs, the incident lead asks for a quick root-cause analysis that ties back to code changes. This module provides a post-mortem template that captures code-level findings, remediation steps, and preventive actions. What you ship: a completed post-mortem template.

Module 10. Stakeholder Communication Pack

A stakeholder POV: the product owner needs a concise briefing that shows security work without technical jargon. This module crafts a one-page communication pack that translates technical findings into business impact. Output: a stakeholder communication pack.

Module 11. Continuous Improvement Loop

By module end a continuous-improvement loop sits in your drive, linking retrospective insights to updated checklists and training plans. This closes the gap between lessons learned and future sprint practices. The deliverable is a continuous-improvement loop document.

Module 12. Final Audit Ready Package

The auditor asks for a single, organized folder that proves every security control was exercised. This module consolidates all prior artefacts into a final audit-ready package, complete with an index and executive summary. Output: a final audit-ready package.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Module 1 covers Threat Modeling Foundations , exactly the missing view you need when a new feature is scoped without security input.

Module 4 covers Vulnerability Remediation Tracker , precisely the chaos you face when findings are scattered across tickets and spreadsheets.

Module 7 covers Risk Dashboard Creation , the exact executive request you get when leadership asks for month-over-month risk trends.

What you will have in hand by Day 1, Week 1, Month 1

Day 1: tailored playbook in hand, threat-model diagram and checklist template ready for immediate use.

Month 1: recurring risk dashboard and compliance matrix integrated into sprint ceremonies, demonstrating continuous security governance.

Before and after

Before

Your current workflow scatters scan screenshots across Slack, stores issue tickets in multiple boards, and relies on ad-hoc screenshots for audit evidence. When the compliance review arrives, you scramble to assemble a coherent story, often missing key artefacts and delaying the release schedule.

After

After the course, you maintain a single, version-controlled evidence repository, run a live risk dashboard each sprint, and present a complete audit pack that satisfies auditors and leadership alike, freeing you to focus on feature delivery.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this, the next compliance audit will force you to redo weeks of work, delaying releases and exposing your team to penalties. Your manager will see repeated security gaps and may reassign you to a lower-visibility role.

Who it is for

A hands-on software engineer who writes production code daily, participates in sprint planning and security reviews, and must balance feature velocity with secure-coding mandates, often without dedicated security staff.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a beginner overview of secure coding basics.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

At $199 you get a complete, hands-on course plus a custom playbook. A half-day consultant would cost $2-5K for the same guidance, generic compliance certifications run $800-2K, and doing it yourself can consume 60+ hours of engineering time.

FAQ

Do I need a dedicated security team to use this course?

No, the modules are built for developers who already own the code base and can apply the artefacts themselves.

Will the course cover all OWASP Top 10 controls?

Yes, each module references the relevant OWASP controls and provides a mapping artefact.

Can I apply this to an existing legacy codebase?

Absolutely; the runbooks include steps for retro-fitting security evidence on legacy projects.

What if I miss a deadline during the implementation?

The playbook includes buffer timelines and escalation steps to keep you on track.
